(b)           Seller shall, within sixty (60) days after the delivery by Buyer of the Closing Statement (“Seller’s Review Period”), complete its review of the Net Working Capital and any Business Indebtedness reflected on the Closing Statement.  The Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Seller unless Seller shall have notified

4

Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of Seller’s Review Period of any good faith objection thereto (the “Seller’s Objection”).  The Seller’s Objection shall set forth a specific description of the basis of Seller’s Objection and the specific adjustments to the Net Working Capital and/or Business Indebtedness reflected on the Closing Statement which Seller believes should be made.  Any items not disputed in a valid Seller’s Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding.

(c)           If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all of their disputes with respect to the Closing Statement within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Objection to such Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.6(b), they shall refer their remaining differences to the CPA Firm for decision, which decision shall be final and binding on the parties upon delivery of the written opinion set forth in sub-clause (iii) below.  The procedure and schedule under which any dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm shall be as follows:

(i)            Within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the period referred to in paragraph (c) above, Seller shall submit any unresolved portion of Seller’s Objection to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Buyer), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies.

(ii)           Within fifteen (15) days following Seller’s submission of the unresolved portion of Seller’s Objection as specified in sub-clause (i) above, Buyer shall submit its response to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Seller), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies.

(iii)          Buyer and Seller shall request that the CPA Firm deliver its written opinion within twenty (20) days following its receipt of the information provided for in sub-clause (ii) above, or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines is necessary, but not to exceed thirty (30) days.  The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the CPA Firm is limited to the unresolved portion of the Seller’s Objection.  In resolving any disputed items, the CPA Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller.  Buyer and Seller shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant Books and Records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants) relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm.

Any expenses relating to the engagement of the CPA Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller so that Seller’s share of such expenses shall be in the same proportion that (x) the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted by Seller to the CPA Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed bears to (y) the total amount of all disputed items submitted by Seller to the CPA Firm.  Seller and Buyer shall each bear the fees of their respective auditors incurred in connection with the determination and review of the Closing Statement.

(d)           The Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the parties upon the earliest of (i) if no Seller’s Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which Seller must make the Seller’s Objection pursuant to Section 2.6(b), (ii) agreement in

5

writing by Seller and Buyer that the Closing Statement, together with any modifications thereto agreed by Seller and Buyer, shall be final and binding and (iii) the date on which the CPA Firm shall issue its written determination with respect to any dispute relating to such Closing Statement.  The Closing Statement, as submitted by Buyer if no timely Seller’s Objection has been given or as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the parties or as determined pursuant to the decision of the CPA Firm, is herein referred to as the “Final Closing Statement.”

(e)           Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement, the adjustment payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) (the “Adjustment Payment”) and interest thereon shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be.  The Adjustment Payment shall be equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Difference.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Post-Closing Difference” shall mean (x) the Post-Closing Working Capital Difference minus (y) any Business Indebtedness reflected on the Final Closing Statement.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Post-Closing Working Capital Difference” shall mean (x) the Net Working Capital, as reflected on the Final Closing Statement, minus (y) the Working Capital Target.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the absolute value of the Post-Closing Working Capital Difference as calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is $2,000,000 or less, then the Post-Closing Working Capital Difference shall be deemed to be $0 for purposes of calculating the Post-Closing Difference.  The Adjustment Payment shall be payable by Buyer to Seller if the Post-Closing Difference is positive, and by Seller to Buyer if the Post-Closing Difference is negative.  The Adjustment Payment shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Closing Date Interest Rate, which interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and such interest shall be paid on the same date and in the same manner as such Adjustment Payment.  Any adjustment or non-adjustment to the Purchase Price shall not form the basis for any claim for damages pursuant to this Agreement.  The parties’ payment obligations under this Section 2.6 will not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and any right or alleged right of indemnification hereunder or for any other reason or under any other agreement.

Section 2.7             Taxes and Fees.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all sales taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, conveyance taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible taxes, documentary recording taxes, license and registration fees, notarial fees incurred in connection with the execution of any deed of transfer, and recording fees, if any, imposed by any Governmental Authority upon the transfer of the Shares or the Air Cargo Assets hereunder and the filing of any instruments (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.  Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to minimize any applicable Transfer Taxes.

Section 2.8             Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be allocated among Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries and among the Shares and the Air Cargo Assets and the Seller covenant not to compete described in Section 5.11 as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Allocation”).  Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries and Buyer agree to report, pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder or any other similar provision under Law, as and when required, the Allocation of the Purchase

6

Price, as adjusted, among the Shares, Air Cargo Assets and Seller covenant not to compete described in Section 5.11 in a manner entirely consistent with such Allocation in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594).  Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such Allocation unless required to do so by Law or a determination of a taxing authority that is final.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter, which shall be arranged in accordance with Section 9.7, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

Section 3.1             Organization and Authority.  Seller, each of the Acquired Companies, the Satair JV and each of the Selling Subsidiaries has been duly incorporated or formed, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation (to the extent such concept is legally recognized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation), with the requisite power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, operate or lease the properties that it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as now being conducted.  Seller and each of the Selling Subsidiaries has the full power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, as the case may be, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Principles”), and no other proceedings on the part of Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  At Closing, the Ancillary Agreements will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller or one or more Selling Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, will constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Principles.

Section 3.2             No Conflict.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which Seller or a Selling Subsidiary is or will be a party, nor compliance by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and each such Ancillary Agreement will (a) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other similar organizational document of Seller, any Acquired Company, the Satair JV or any Selling Subsidiary; (b) assuming all of the consents, approvals, authorizations, filings or notifications to or of Governmental Authorities contemplated by Section 3.10 are made or obtained, violate any Law or any injunction, order or decree of any Governmental Authority to which Seller, an Acquired Company, the Satair JV or a Selling Subsidiary is subject; or (c) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, or give to others

7

any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance or any Encumbrances created by actions of Buyer or its Affiliates) on, any of the material Business Assets (including Significant Contracts), except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) only for any violations, breaches, defaults or other matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prohibit or materially impair Seller’s or a Selling Subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 3.3             Financial Information.  Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth (a) the unaudited combined balance sheets of the Nordisk Business as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related unaudited combined statements of income prepared by management for each of the fiscal years then ended, (b) the unaudited combined balance sheets of the Telair Business as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related unaudited combined statements of income prepared by management for each of the fiscal years then ended, (c) an unaudited combined balance sheet of the Nordisk Business as at August 28, 2011 and the related unaudited combined statement of income prepared by management for the eight-month period then ended, and (d)  an unaudited combined balance sheet of the Telair Business as at August 28, 2011 and the related unaudited combined statement of income prepared by management for the eight-month period then ended (collectively the “Financial Information”).  The Financial Information fairly presents in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations of the Business as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such Financial Information, all in accordance with GAAP, subject, in the case of interim Financial Information, to normal recurring year-end adjustments, the absence of footnotes and the use of accounting practices, principles and methodologies reflected in Section 2.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Section 3.4             Absence of Certain Changes or Events.  Since August 28, 2011, there has not been a Material Adverse Effect.  From August 28, 2011 to the date of this Agreement, Seller, the Acquired Companies and the Selling Subsidiaries have conducted the Business in the ordinary and usual course.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since August 28, 2011, none of the Acquired Companies has (a) entered into any Significant Contract; (b) made any change in any accounting method, practice or principle or in any system of internal accounting controls, other than as required by applicable accounting or regulatory authorities; or (c) incurred any material liabilities outside of the ordinary course of business, whether or not contingent.

Section 3.5             Real Property.

(a)           Section 3.5(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth (i) the address and location of all Leased Real Property and (ii) a list of all leases governing the Leased Real Property (the “Real Property Leases”).

(b)           None of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV owns any real property.

(c)           Each Real Property Lease is valid and in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such Real Property Lease, subject to proper authorization and execution of such Real Property Lease by the counterparties thereto and to the Bankruptcy and

8

Equity Principles.  There is no breach or default under any Real Property Lease, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a breach or default by any Acquired Company, the Satair JV or any other party thereto under any Real Property Lease, except in each case to the extent such breach or default would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.6             Business Assets.

(a)           Seller, a Selling Subsidiary, an Acquired Company or the Satair JV owns, leases or has the legal right to use all of the Business Assets (excluding the Leased Real Property, which is the subject of Section 3.5, and Intellectual Property, which is the subject of Section 3.14) and has good title to (or in the case of leased Business Assets, valid leasehold interest in) all Business Assets (excluding the Leased Real Property, which is the subject of Section 3.5, and Intellectual Property, which is the subject of Section 3.14), except for Permitted Encumbrances and for such defects of title or restrictions on use that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except for the Excluded Assets, the Business Assets, together with the rights granted to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreements to be entered into pursuant hereto or thereto, will constitute on the Closing Date all of the assets necessary to conduct the Business in the same manner in all material respects as the Business is presently conducted.

(b)           Except as reflected in the Financial Information, the tangible assets included in the Business Assets (excluding the Leased Real Property, which is the subject of Section 3.5) are in satisfactory and serviceable condition, subject to normal wear and tear and impairments of value that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.7             Litigation.  Section 3.7 of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth each action, suit or proceeding pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against Seller, an Acquired Company, the Satair JV or a Selling Subsidiary with respect to the Business, at law, in equity or otherwise, in, before, or by, any court or Governmental Authority.  There are no material unsatisfied judgments or material outstanding orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a court, an administrative agency or by an arbitrator) against any of the Business Assets or against Seller, an Acquired Subsidiary, the Satair JV or a Selling Subsidiary with respect to the Business.

Section 3.8             Compliance with Law.  The Business is being conducted in all material respects in compliance with all applicable Laws.  (i) All United States Federal Aviation Administration, Civil Aviation Authority and European Aviation Safety Agency approvals, permits and licenses required to conduct the Business as currently conducted or operated and (ii) all other material governmental approvals, permits and licenses, including but not limited to type certificates, supplemental type certificates, design approvals, production approvals, design organization approvals and repair station/maintenance certificates, required to conduct the Business as currently conducted or operated (the approvals, permits and licenses referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Authorizations”)  have been obtained, are set forth in Section 3.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, are in full force and effect and are being

9

complied with in all material respects.  Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will cause the termination or cancellation of, or give to others any right to terminate or cancel, any of the Authorizations.  None of the Acquired Companies, the Satair JV, Seller or the Selling Subsidiaries has received notice in writing that it is in material violation or default under any Authorization or, in relation to the Business, that it is in material violation of, or default with respect to, any Law, in each case, that is unresolved.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation or warranty is made under this Section 3.8 in respect of any (i) employee benefit matters which are addressed exclusively in Section 3.13 (as to which no representation or warranty is made except as set forth in Section 3.13), (ii) intellectual property matters which are addressed exclusively in Section 3.14 (as to which no representation or warranty is made except as set forth in Section 3.14), (iii) matters relating to Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits or the environmental condition of any of the Business Assets which are addressed exclusively in Section 3.16 (as to which no representation or warranty is made except as set forth in Section 3.16) and (v) matters relating to Taxes which are addressed exclusively in Section 3.17 (as to which no representation or warranty is made except as set forth in Section 3.17).

Section 3.9             Contracts.  Section 3.9 of the Seller Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list of all Contracts to which an Acquired Company, the Satair JV, Seller or any Selling Subsidiary (with respect to Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries, to the extent the Contract is included in the Air Cargo Assets) is a party:  (a) for the future sale of products or services with expected payments in excess of $2,500,000 during the remaining term; (b) for the future purchase of products or services with expected payments in excess of $1,000,000 during the remaining term except for any such Contract that may be canceled on not more than 180 days’ notice without any penalty or other liability to the Business in excess of $100,000; (c) establishing or governing the management of any partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, or acquisition or disposal of any joint ventures or similar arrangement; (d) that require the Business to deal exclusively with the counterparty or that limit the ability of the Business to compete in any product or geographic market; (e) for the lease of any personal property involving annual lease payments in excess of $75,000 per year; (f) relating to the purchase of any business or Person (or all or any substantial portion of the assets of any business, business unit, facility or Person) entered into within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement and under which any Acquired Company or the Satair JV has any continuing material liability or obligation; (g) relating to the sale or disposition of any material Business Assets (other than the sale of inventory or obsolete or worn-out Business Assets replaced in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) entered into within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement and under which any Acquired Company or the Satair JV has any continuing material liability or obligation; (h) relating to any employment, independent contracting, consulting or similar agreement requiring payment by the Business of base annual fees or compensation in excess of $100,000 to any Person; (i) evidencing Indebtedness; and (j) providing for capital expenditures after the date of this Agreement in excess of $100,000, individually.  The Contracts listed (or required to be listed) in Section 3.9 of the Seller Disclosure Letter are referred to collectively herein as the “Significant Contracts.”  Each Significant Contract is valid and is in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such Significant Contract subject to proper authorization and execution of such Significant Contract by the counterparties thereto and to the Bankruptcy and Equity Principles and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will

10

give others any rights of termination or cancellation of any Significant Contract.  There is no material breach or material default under any Significant Contract, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material breach or material default by Seller, an Acquired Company, the Satair JV, any Selling Subsidiary or any other party thereto under, or give to others any rights of termination or cancellation of (other than rights relating to contractual expiration), any Significant Contract.

Section 3.10           Consents and Approvals.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries, as the case may be, do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except (a) as set forth in Section 3.10 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, (b) where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization or action, or to make such filing or notification, would not prevent or materially delay the consummation by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (c) as may be necessary as a result of facts or circumstances relating solely to Buyer and its Affiliates.

Section 3.11           Acquired Company Capital Stock.  (a)  The authorized and issued capital stock (or equivalent equity interests) of each Acquired Company (the “Acquired Company Group Shares”) is as set forth in Section 3.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.  Seller, the Acquired Companies and the Selling Subsidiaries (considered collectively) are the record and beneficial owners of all of the Acquired Company Group Shares.  The Acquired Company Group Shares have been validly issued and, where applicable, are fully paid and non-assessable.  None of Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries or the Acquired Companies is party to any shareholders’ agreements, voting trusts or proxies, with respect to the voting of the Acquired Company Group Shares and there are no outstanding warrants, options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or other Contracts (other than this Agreement) pursuant to which Seller, an Acquired Company or a Selling Subsidiary is or may become obligated to issue, sell, purchase or redeem any Acquired Company Group Shares.

(b)  Section 3.11(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth the equity interests owned by the Acquired Companies in each of the Joint Ventures.

plans of Buyer in which the Transferred Employees become eligible to participate after the Closing Date (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”); provided, however, that such service shall be recognized only to the extent that it was recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan and does not result in duplication of benefits.  To the extent permitted under the terms of the Buyer Benefit Plans and to the extent that any Transferred Employee is otherwise eligible to participate in the applicable Buyer Benefit Plan, Buyer shall use commercially reasonably efforts to (i) waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, and waiting periods applicable to Transferred Employees, other than any such requirements that would not have been satisfied under the corresponding Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) provide each Transferred Employee with credit for any eligible expenses paid by such Transferred Employee on or prior to the Closing Date during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs under the corresponding Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying any deductibles, copayments and maximum out of pocket requirements under any Buyer Benefit Plan.

(c)           Seller Plans and Acquired Company Plans. Effective as of the Effective Time, all Transferred Employees shall cease to actively participate in all Seller Plans that are not Acquired Company Plans.  Seller shall retain liability for the Seller Plans that are not Acquired Company Plans, including, but not limited to, liability for claims arising in connection with any individual’s employment with Seller and its Affiliates (except for the Seller Plans listed in Section 5.4(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, which Buyer shall assume as to any Transferred Employee).  Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 is intended to limit Buyer’s ability to modify, amend or terminate any Acquired Company Plan in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d)           COBRA. Seller shall retain responsibility for providing Business Employees, who terminated employment prior to or on the Closing Date and who elected group health coverage required by Section 4980B of the Code (“Continuation Coverage”) under the terms of the group health plan maintained by Seller, with such Continuation Coverage.  Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for providing Continuation Coverage to Transferred Employees who experience a “qualifying event” under a group health plan maintained by Buyer or an Acquired Company following the Closing Date.

(e)           Employee Access.  After the Closing, Buyer will permit Seller (and its Affiliates) to have access to Transferred Employees that Seller or its Affiliates may reasonably need in order to defend or prosecute any legal or administrative action to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party and which relates to the conduct of the Acquired Companies or Selling Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, except where such access would, under the circumstances, unreasonably interfere with Buyer’s, the Acquired Companies, or their respective Affiliates’ operations, activities or employees, or if such access would, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer after conferring with Seller, violate applicable laws.

(f)            Bonus Plans.  Buyer shall pay, or shall cause an Acquired Company to pay, an aggregate bonus amount to Transferred Employees for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs in an amount no less than the amount accrued on the Closing Statement with respect to short-term or annual incentives or bonuses, commissions, and similar amounts attributable to Transferred Employees for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, with the timing of such payments to be made consistent with past practice but, in any event, no later than 2.5 months following the end of such fiscal year.

24

(g)           General.  Nothing set forth in this Section 5.4 shall (i) confer any rights or remedies upon any Transferred Employee or upon any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, (ii) constitute an amendment to or a promise to amend any benefit plan or any other plan or arrangement covering the Transferred Employees or any other Person, or (iii) obligate Buyer or any Acquired Company to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any specific period.

Section 5.5             Books and Records.  For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to, or cause the Business to, retain all Contracts and Books and Records relating to Taxes and Transferred Employees and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Seller or its agents at Seller’s expense, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice.

Section 5.6             Intellectual Property.

(a)           Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.6, nothing in this Agreement grants or shall be deemed to grant to Buyer the right to use or any interest in (i) the name “Teleflex”, “TFX” or any trademark, trade name, service mark, corporate name, domain name, logo or other source indicator containing the same names and/or a name confusingly similar thereto (which, for clarity, does not include the “Telair” trademark) (collectively, the “Seller Trademarks”) or (ii) any other Intellectual Property of Seller and its Affiliates that is not included in the Business Assets.

(b)           Commencing one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall use any signs or stationery, purchase order forms, packaging or other goods or supplies, advertising and promotional materials, product, training and service literature and materials, or any other materials in any format or medium (“Supplies”) that contain any Seller Trademarks.  After the Closing Date Buyer shall not reorder, produce or reproduce any Supplies that include the Seller Trademarks.  For one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Seller grants to the Acquired Companies a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to Affiliates of the Acquired Companies) license to use the Seller Trademarks, solely in a high-quality manner that is consistent with past practice.

(c)           Promptly following the Closing Date but no later than within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cease all use of the Seller Trademarks and shall take all such actions as may be required to change the name of Teleflex Aviation Products AS to one that does not comprise or contain the Seller Trademarks, including filing a name change amendment with the jurisdiction of incorporation and filing an appropriate name change notice in the appropriate office in each jurisdiction where such entity is qualified to do business.

(d)           Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is not acquiring any right, title or interest in (i) the stylized “T” used in the “Teleflex” and “Telair” trademarks, (ii) the “T” shape of the “Teleflex” and “Telair” marks, and (iii) the type fonts used in the “Teleflex” and “Telair” marks (collectively, the “Stylized T Elements”), regardless of whether any registration owned or to be owned by the Acquired Companies contain such Stylized T Elements.  For three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller grants to the Acquired Companies a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to Affiliates of the Acquired Companies) license to use

25

the Stylized T Elements, solely in a manner that is consistent with past practice and solely in connection with the Business.  The nature and quality of all goods and services provided by the Acquired Companies in connection with the Stylized T Elements will conform to the quality of the goods and/or services as provided by Seller or the Acquired Companies, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date.  Buyer and the Acquired Companies acknowledge that the license in this Section 5.6(d) is transitional in nature, and that the Acquired Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition away from substantially all uses of the Stylized T Elements promptly.

(e)           Prior to or at Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Intellectual Property listed in Section 5.6(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to one of the Acquired Companies.

Section 5.7             Further Assurances; Cooperation.

At any time after the date of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or take any other actions reasonably requested by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and necessary for Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, to satisfy its obligations hereunder.  Seller and Buyer shall each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions to their respective obligations set forth in Article VI to be satisfied at or prior to Closing.

Section 5.8             Compliance with WARN, EU Directives, etc.

Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all losses, claims and liabilities arising out of any real or alleged violation of  WARN or any similar Law based on Buyer’s failure to offer employment to, hire or retain any Transferred Employees.

Section 5.9             Foreign Implementing Agreements.

If, after the date of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer mutually agree or deem it advisable, or if otherwise necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller and Buyer shall cause to be prepared and, prior to or on the Closing Date, executed by the applicable parties, any additional agreements or instruments implementing the transfer and conveyance to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer at the Effective Time of the Shares or the Air Cargo Assets and the assumption by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Foreign Implementing Agreements”).  The parties agree that any Foreign Implementing Agreements shall not expand or limit the rights and obligations of Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and that the Foreign Implementing Agreements shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of Seller or Selling Subsidiaries, or Buyer or its Affiliates that are not provided for in this Agreement.  The parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any such Foreign Implementing Agreements, which shall be prepared in a form suitable for use by the parties in such foreign jurisdiction.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Foreign Implementing Agreements and this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, the parties shall deliver such additional instruments as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

26

Section 5.10           Disclosure; Investigation.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has not made, does not make and specifically negates and disclaims any representations, warranties, promises, covenants, agreements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present, or future, except as (and solely to the extent) specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.11           Covenant Not to Compete; Non-Solicit.

(a)           Seller agrees that during the Seller Non-Compete Period, neither Seller nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall engage, manage, operate or have any ownership interest in any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity that engages in, manages or operates a business that competes with the Business (each, a “Competing Business”) anywhere in the world; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Section 5.11(a) for Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (i) to own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person that are traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (or a recognized securities exchange outside the U.S.) if Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (x) is not a controlling Person or a member of a group that controls such Person and (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own more than 5% or more of the voting securities of such Person, (ii) to acquire, directly or indirectly, the equity or assets of, or otherwise become affiliated with or participate in, any enterprise that derives less than 25% of its total annual revenue from a Competing Business, if Seller shall use reasonable efforts to divest, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within eighteen (18) months after the closing date of such acquisition), its interest in such enterprise relating to the Competing Business, (iii) to continue operating existing lines of business, other than the Business, or any of the Excluded Assets or (iv) to perform the activities contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements.  None of the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall operate to prohibit, hinder, impede or restrict from engaging in a Competing Business in any way, any Person which by way of takeover, acquisition, merger, combination or similar transaction acquires a controlling or significant interest in Seller or any of its Affiliates (provided that Seller and its controlled Affiliates as of the date of such transactions shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) after any such transaction).

(b)           The “Seller Non-Compete Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date Buyer and its Affiliates cease to engage in the Business.

(c)           Seller agrees that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen months following the Closing Date or (ii) the date Buyer and its Affiliates cease to engage in the Business, none of Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates will solicit for employment, seek to employ or employ (including in any consulting capacity) any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates from (w) engaging in general solicitations for employees not specifically targeted at the Transferred Employees (and employing any Transferred Employees who respond to such general solicitations) or (x) soliciting or employing any Transferred Employee who is no longer employed by Buyer or its Affiliates.

27

(d)           If any provision contained in this Section 5.11 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section, but this Section shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  It is in the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 5.11 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.11 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law.

Section 5.12           Bulk Transfer Laws.  Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries with the provisions of any so-called bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale to Buyer of the Air Cargo Assets.

Section 5.13           Tax Matters.

(a)           Following the Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense,  cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV for taxable periods ending prior to or on the Closing Date, including amended returns, applications for loss carryback refunds and applications for estimated Tax Refunds (all such Tax Returns, amended returns and refund applications are referred to as the “Prior Period Returns”).  The Prior Period Returns shall be prepared, where relevant, in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices except as otherwise required by Law.  Seller shall pay all Taxes related to such Prior Period Returns (other than any Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 5.13(g)).  Buyer shall make available to Seller (and to Seller’s accountants and attorneys) any and all books and records and other documents and information in its possession or control relating to the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV reasonably requested by Seller to prepare the Prior Period Returns.  Seller shall deliver to Buyer, for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline for a Prior Period Return, a draft of such Prior Period Return.  Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of Buyer on such Prior Period Return.

(b)           Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date and, subject to the right to indemnification under Section 5.13(c), shall pay all Taxes related thereto.  Buyer shall prepare all Straddle Period Tax Returns in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices, except as otherwise required by Law.  Buyer shall deliver to Seller, for its review and comment, a draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline of such Straddle Period Tax Return, together with a proposed calculation of the Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period, and Buyer shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of Seller on such Straddle Period Tax Returns.

28

(c)           Following the Closing, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13(g), and Section 8.4, Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV (with respect to the Satair JV, to the extent of Buyer’s direct or indirect equity interest therein) harmless from and against the following Taxes (and all other related Losses): (i) any Taxes of Seller or any Selling Subsidiary; (ii) any Taxes that related to the Air Cargo Assets or the Transferred Employees for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date); (iii) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV for periods ending on or before the Closing Date; (iv) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies and/or the Satair JV allocable to the Pre-Closing Period of a Straddle Period Tax Return; (v) any Taxes of any other person for which any of the Acquired Companies and/or the Satair JV may become liable pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.1502-6 (or analogous provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law) as a result of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of corporations prior to the Closing Date; (vi) any Taxes that the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV are liable for as a transferee or successor, which arise as a result of a transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing, and all Income Taxes that the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV are liable for pursuant to any contract (other than this Agreement) entered into by the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV (or assumed by the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV) on or prior to the Closing; and (vii) without duplication any Taxes resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty in Sections 3.12, 3.13 or 5.3 or this Section 5.13; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify Buyer, the Acquired Companies and/or the Satair JV from and against, any Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 5.13(g) or to the extent such Taxes are reflected in the Final Closing Statement.

(d)           Buyer shall promptly notify Seller following receipt of any notice of audit or other proceeding relating to any matter for which Seller may be required to indemnify Buyer, the Acquired Companies and/or the Satair JV pursuant to Section 5.13(c).  No failure or delay in providing such notice shall reduce Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent the failure or delay shall have actually prejudiced Seller.   Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense (including all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the applicable Acquired Company or Satair JV), to control any audit or proceedings, and the filing of any amended Tax Return, relating to any Acquired Company or the Satair JV for a period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, (i) Seller shall give prompt notice of its intent to control such audit or other proceedings; (ii) Seller shall control such audit or other proceeding diligently and in good faith; (iii) Buyer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in such audit or proceedings; and (iv) Seller shall not settle, resolve or otherwise abandon such audit or proceedings without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Buyer shall control all audits or proceedings relating to any Acquired Company or Satair JV for any Straddle Period and all audits and proceedings for any Acquired Company or Satair JV for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date until Seller has provided notice of its intent to control under this Section 5.13(d); provided, however, (i) Buyer shall control such proceedings diligently and in good faith; (ii) Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right to participate in such audit or proceedings; and (iii) Buyer shall not settle, resolve or abandon any such audit or proceedings that relates to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or a Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

29

(e)           For purposes of determining Seller’s obligation for Taxes that relate to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, the parties agree as follows: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including Income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause (ii) above, any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(f)            All refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV for any period ending on or before the Closing Date (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 5.13(e)) (whether in the form of cash received from the applicable Governmental Authority, a credit against Taxes otherwise payable or similar benefit for any Tax period (or portion of a Straddle Period) beginning on or after the Closing Date) shall be the property of Seller. To the extent that Buyer, the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV receives a refund that is the property of Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such refund (without interest other than interest received from the Governmental Entity), net of any Taxes (including any withholding Taxes that would be payable on a distribution by the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV of the amount of the refund to Buyer) and any out-of-pocket expenses that Buyer, the Acquired Companies, the Satair JV or any of their Affiliates incur with respect to such refund (and related interest).  The net amount due to Seller shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of credit or other benefit, ten (10) days after filing the Tax Return claiming or realizing such credit or other benefit).  To the extent a refund that gave rise to a payment hereunder is subsequently disallowed, or otherwise reduced or lost, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of Taxes that Buyer, the Acquired Companies, the Satair JV or any of their Affiliates incurs as a result of such disallowance, reduction or loss (and any related interest or penalties and other Losses).   Nothing in this Section 5.13(f) shall require Buyer to make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Buyer, the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV) that is with respect to: (i) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a taxable period after the Closing Date (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning on the Closing Date); (ii) any refund of Tax resulting from the payments of Taxes made on or after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified Buyer, the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV for or otherwise paid such Tax; (iii) any refund for Tax that is reflected as an asset (or an offset to a liability) in the calculation of Net Working Capital; (iv) any refund for Buyer’s allocable share of any Transfer Taxes as determined under Section 2.7; or (v) any refund for Tax to the extent that such refund gives rise to any payment obligation by an Acquired Company or the Satair JV to any person other than the Acquired

30

Companies, Satair JV, Buyer or any of their Affiliates pursuant to a provision of a Contract that was entered into by an Acquired Company or the Satair JV prior to the Closing.

(g)           Buyer shall pay and indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any Taxes of Seller and its Affiliates (including any Taxes of the Acquired Companies and the Satair JV for which Seller or any of its Affiliates may become liable pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.1502-6 (or analogous provisions of state or local law) as a result of its being a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of corporations that included any of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV prior to the Closing Date) resulting from any actions taken, or caused to be taken, by Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Closing (other than any transactions pursuant to this Agreement or in the ordinary course of the Acquired Companies’ business) with respect to any of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV.

(h)           Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as may be reasonably requested of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes.  Each of Seller and Buyer shall make themselves (and their respective employees) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Seller and Buyer agree that the Books and Records delivered to the control of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement to the extent they relate to the operations of any of the Acquired Companies or the Satair JV prior to the Closing Date, remain in existence and available, Seller (at its expense) shall have the right upon prior notice to inspect and to make copies of the same at any time during business hours for any proper purpose.  Buyer shall use reasonable efforts not to destroy or allow the destruction of any such Books and Records without first offering in writing to deliver them to Seller.

(i)            Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of a party to indemnify and hold harmless another party pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall terminate at the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof); provided, however, that if the obligation under this Section 5.13 is a Tax that any Acquired Company or the Satair JV is liable for under a Contract, such obligation shall not terminate prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the date on which such obligation terminates under such Contract.

Section 5.14           Credit Support.  Buyer acknowledges that in the course of the conduct of the Business, Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries may have entered into various arrangements (a) in which guarantees (including of performance under Contracts included in the Business Assets, letters of credit or other credit arrangements, including surety and performance bonds) were issued by, or for the account of, Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries or (b) in which Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries are the primary or secondary obligors on debt instruments or financing or other contracts or agreements, in any such case to support or facilitate transactions of the Business.  Such arrangements by such parties are set forth in Section 5.14 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and are hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Support Arrangements.” Seller and Buyer agree that the Credit Support Arrangements are not intended to continue after the Closing.  Buyer agrees to (i) obtain replacement Credit Support Arrangements, which will be in

31

effect at the Closing, (ii) repay, or cause the repayment of, all debt and other obligations to which such Credit Support Arrangements relate (and cause the cancellation of such Credit Support Arrangements) or (iii) arrange for itself or one of its subsidiaries to be substituted as the obligor thereon as of the Closing Date and, in each case, obtain the release of Seller and its Affiliates from any such Credit Support Arrangements.  If Buyer cannot obtain the release of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Companies) from any such Credit Support Arrangements but the Closing still occurs, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller and such Affiliates harmless for any Losses incurred by Seller or such Affiliates from and after the Closing with respect to such Credit Support Arrangements.

Section 5.15           Section 338(g) Elections.  Buyer shall have the right to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Company Group Shares or any interests in the Joint Ventures.

Section 5.16           Termination of Certain Intercompany Accounts.  Seller hereby agrees that effective as of the Closing, except for (i) the Ancillary Agreements and the other agreements and instruments required to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto and (ii) the Contracts disclosed in Section 5.16 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, it shall take all necessary action to cause all Contracts, commitments or transactions, except for any trade accounts payable or trade accounts receivable, between the Business, on the one hand, and Seller and/or and any of its controlled Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies and the Joint Ventures), on the other hand, to be terminated and cancelled without any further liability and obligation and to be of no further force or effect.

Section 5.17           Notification; Updates to Seller Disclosure Letter.

(a)           During the period between the date of this Agreement and Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of:

(i)            the discovery by Seller or any Selling Subsidiary of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement and that caused or constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement;

(ii)           any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would cause or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement if (A) such representation or warranty had been made as of the time of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, or (B) such event, condition, fact or circumstance had occurred, arisen or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement;

(iii)          any material breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement; and

(iv)          any event, condition, fact or circumstance that may make the timely satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 6.1(f) impossible or unlikely.

32

(b)           During the period between the date of this Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of:

(i)            the discovery by Buyer of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement and that caused or constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement;

(ii)           any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would cause or constitute a breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement if (A) such representation or warranty had been made as of the time of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, or (B) such event, condition, fact or circumstance had occurred, arisen or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement; and

(iii)          any material breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement.

(c)           If any event, condition, fact or circumstance that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 5.17(a) requires any change in the Seller Disclosure Letter or if any such event, condition, fact or circumstance would require such a change assuming the Seller Disclosure Letter were dated as of the date of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, then Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer an update to the Seller Disclosure Letter specifying such change.  Except for updates to the Seller Disclosure Letter to add Real Property Leases, Significant Contracts, labor agreements or collective bargaining agreements, issued Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights and applications for the same, IP Contracts and insurance coverage and claims history, in each case entered into, issued, registered or obtained, as applicable, following the date of this Agreement and prior to Closing and which are not prohibited by Section 5.3 of this Agreement, no such update shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Letter for the purpose of (i) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any certificate or other Contract referred to in this Agreement, (ii) determining whether any condition set forth in Article VI has been satisfied or (iii) determining Seller’s obligations under Article VIII.  Any noncompliance with the notification and update provisions of this Section 5.17 shall not constitute failure of a condition set forth in Article VI or give rise to any right of termination under Article IX unless the underlying change or event shall independently constitute such a failure or give rise to such a right.

Section 5.18           Mutual Release.

(a)           Effective as of the Closing, each of Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably waives, releases and discharges the Acquired Companies from any and all liabilities and obligations to Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates of any kind or nature whatsoever (including in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether arising under any agreement or understanding, or the certificates of incorporation,

33

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1             Survival; Knowledge of Breach.

The representations, warranties and covenants (to the extent such covenants relate to the performance of obligations prior to the Closing) contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.6(a) (only the first sentence thereof), 3.11 and 3.17 and 4.1 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.13 and 3.16 shall survive the Closing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date.  The covenants contained in this Agreement which relate to the performance of obligations after the Closing shall survive the Closing for the periods contemplated by their terms.

(a)           From and after the Closing Date and subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.4, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and any of their directors, officers, employees and stockholders (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fines, Taxes, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) actually sustained, incurred or suffered by the Buyer Parties, to the extent resulting or arising from (i) any breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in this Agreement.

(b)           From and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates and any of their directors, officers, employees and stockholders in their representative capacities (collectively, the “Acquired Company Parties”) against and in respect of any and all Losses actually sustained, incurred or suffered by the Acquired Company Parties, to the extent resulting or arising from any dispute with Anders Helmner or Lena Patent AB with respect to the Patent Agreement (as in effect prior to Closing), including but not limited to any current or future arbitration or similar proceeding with Anders Helmner or Lena Patent AB with respect to the Patent Agreement (as in effect prior to Closing).  Buyer and Seller agree that Seller shall control the prosecution of any arbitration or any other proceeding with Anders Helmner or Lena Patent AB with respect to the foregoing and shall provide updates regarding the status of any such proceeding to Buyer upon request.

(c)           From and after the Closing Date and subject to Section 8.1, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Selling Subsidiaries, their Affiliates and their directors,

36

officers, employees and stockholders (collectively, the “Seller Parties”)  against and in respect of any and all Losses actually sustained, incurred or suffered by the Seller Parties, to the extent resulting or arising from (i) any breaches of Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or (iii) the operation of the Business or the Business Assets or actions taken by or on behalf of Buyer after the Effective Time.

(d)           Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by Law.  Such amount shall, to the extent attributable to a specific Air Cargo Asset, be allocated to the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such Air Cargo Asset, as determined pursuant to Section 2.8.

(e)           Any claims for indemnification for Taxes shall be exclusively governed by and brought pursuant to Section 5.13.

Section 8.3             Method of Asserting Claims, etc.  In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than twenty (20) business days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand.  An election to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or demand.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII.  In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and court costs) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the third party claim.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings.  If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.  The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.  To the extent the Indemnifying Party

37

shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts in the defense of all such claims.  Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state specifically the representation, warranty, or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the estimated amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim.

Section 8.4             Indemnification Amounts.  Seller shall not have liability under Sections 8.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Buyer’s Losses attributable to indemnification claims for which a Claim Notice was properly delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 8.3 exceeds $4,200,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case Buyer shall be entitled to Losses attributable to indemnification claims in an amount up to $56,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, that Seller shall be liable only for the amount by which all Losses (up to the Cap Amount) exceed the Basket Amount; provided, further, that no individual claim for payment of a Loss may be made under Section 8.2(a)(i) unless such claim (together with any related claims) is an amount of $25,000 or greater (the “Individual Claim Threshold”).  For purposes of this Article VIII (including determining whether a breach has occurred), the representations and warranties of Seller (other than Section 3.4, clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 3.8, clauses (f) and (g) of the first sentence of Section 3.9, Section 3.17 and, solely for clarification, other than dollar thresholds) shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality or to Material Adverse Effect.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Individual Claim Threshold, the Basket Amount and the Cap Amount shall not apply to any claim for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.6(a) (only the first sentence thereof), 3.11, 3.15 and 3.17 and (ii) the Basket Amount shall not apply to any claim for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13 and the Individual Claim Threshold with respect to any such claim (together with any related claims) shall be deemed to be $10,000 or greater.

Section 8.5             Losses Net of Insurance, Etc.

(a)           With respect to any matter covered by this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assert all claims under all applicable insurance policies (provided that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the commencement or pursuit of any litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution process); provided that the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII in respect of such Losses and to be paid therefor before resolution of any insurance payment.  The amount of any Losses of the Indemnified Party for purposes of this Article VIII shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (net of (i) reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collection under such insurance policies, (ii) the deductible associated therewith and (iii) co-payments and similar obligations) and, to the extent that insurance proceeds are collected by the Indemnified Party after an indemnification claim has been settled, the Indemnified Party will restore the Indemnifying Party to the same economic position as would have existed had such insurance proceeds been collected prior to the settlement of such claim (net of (i) reasonable, out-of-pocket

38

costs and expenses relating to collection under such insurance policies, (ii) the deductible associated therewith and (iii) co-payments and similar obligations).

(b)           In addition, the Indemnifying Party will have no liability in respect of any such Losses (i) to the extent they arise or are incurred as a result of the passing of, or a change in, any law or administrative practice of a Governmental Authority enacted after the Effective Time or (ii) if they would not have arisen but for any act, omission, transaction or arrangement carried out at the request of or consent of the Indemnified Party before Closing.

(c)           The parties shall take and shall cause their Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(d)           No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article VIII to an Indemnified Party for Losses to the extent such Indemnified Party received the benefit of such Losses in the calculation of the adjustments to Purchase Price or the Adjustment Payment.

Section 8.6             Exclusive Remedy.  Following Closing, except in the case of fraud, and except to the extent of non-monetary equitable relief (including specific performance) made with respect to breaches of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed following the Closing, the indemnification obligations in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 8.7             No Consequential Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party for consequential, incidental, unforeseen or punitive damages or for diminution in value or loss of profit that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof or any liability retained or assumed hereunder other than damages paid to an unaffiliated third party claimant.

Section 8.8             No Set-Off.  Neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any right to set-off any Losses (including indemnification obligations under Section 8.2) against any payments to be made by either of them pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or otherwise.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1             Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)           by written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

(b)           by either Buyer or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to February 29, 2012 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to a party that has breached in any material respect its obligations under this

39

Agreement in any manner that shall have primarily caused the failure of the Closing to occur by such date;

(c)           by either Seller or Buyer if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(d)           by Buyer or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if there has been a breach by such other party of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, which breach is the sole cause of the failure of the conditions in Article VI to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured prior to the earlier of the End Date and the date which is thirty (30) days after the breaching party’s receipt of written notice of such breach (and provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement is not then in material breach of this Agreement).

Section 9.2             Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 9.2 and in Sections 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, and 9.13 and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of any representation or failure to perform any covenant set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 9.3             Collection of Receivables or Excluded Assets.  If, following Closing, Seller or any Selling Subsidiary receives a payment that constitutes a Business Asset, Seller shall promptly pay such amount to Buyer.  If, following Closing, Buyer or any Acquired Company receives a payment that does not constitute a Business Asset, Buyer or the Acquired Company, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such amount to Seller.

Section 9.4             Expenses.  Unless otherwise indicated herein, the parties shall bear their own respective expenses (including all compensation and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent accountants) incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including filing fees.

Section 9.5             Assignment.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as provided in the following sentence, this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the express prior written consent of the other party.  Buyer may assign or delegate its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in whole or in part to a subsidiary of Buyer; provided, however, that in such event, Buyer shall remain fully liable for the fulfillment of all such obligations and liabilities hereunder.  Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention hereof shall be null and void.

40

Section 9.6             Entire Agreement; No Third Party Rights.  This Agreement (along with the Seller Disclosure Letter) and the Ancillary Agreements (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement); and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement (and with respect to the rights under Sections 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) only, the Buyer Parties and Seller Parties, respectively) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.  The parties acknowledge that both Buyer and Seller participated in the drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and agree that any rule of law or any legal decision that may or would require interpretation of any alleged ambiguities in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.  In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement (including the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions hereof) and the terms of any other documents delivered or required to be delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall supersede such conflicting or inconsistent terms (including, by way of illustration and not limitation, an instance where a warranty in a deed of transfer imposes, implicitly or explicitly, greater obligations on the grantor than are imposed by the terms of this Agreement) in such other documents and the terms of this Agreement shall define the rights and obligations of the parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders and Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of such conflict or inconsistency.

Section 9.7             Disclosure Letters.  The disclosures made in any section of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be made with respect to (i) the corresponding representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and (ii) any other representation or warranty of Seller to the extent (solely in the case of this clause (ii)) such disclosure reasonably relates to such other representation or warranty.  Inclusion of any matter in any section of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by Seller or otherwise imply that any such matter is material, has a Material Adverse Effect or creates a measure for, or further defines the meaning of, materiality or Material Adverse Effect and their correlative terms for the purposes of this Agreement.  Any capitalized and undefined term used in any section of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall have the same meaning assigned to such term herein.

Section 9.8             Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

Section 9.9             Section Headings.  The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any, way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.14           Specific Performance.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
