If any such claim shall be brought against such Indemnitee, it shall notify such Indemnitor thereof, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and to settle or compromise any such claim or action; provided, however, that any such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that if the Indemnitee rejects a settlement that would have included a complete release of the Indemnitee from any further liability, its right to indemnification from the Indemnitor shall be limited to the amount that would have been payable by the Indemnitor under such settlement or compromise. After notice to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it if, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, it is advisable for the Indemnitee to be represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnitee shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment with respect thereto, and shall not settle or compromise any such claim or action without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If, on or prior to the Closing Date, all or any part of the Assets shall be damaged or destroyed by casualty or taken by expropriation, and such casualty or expropriation does not comprise a Material Adverse Event, then (a) closing shall proceed as contemplated by this Agreement, (b) the obligations of Purchaser hereunder

and the Purchase Price shall not be affected by such damage or destruction or expropriation, and (c) Seller at its election shall either (i) repair, replace restore such Assets at its expense to the condition existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty or expropriation or (ii) reduce the payment required under Section 2.1(b) by the amount (as determined by an independent insurance adjuster mutually agreed upon by the Seller and Purchaser) necessary to repair, replace, restore, or compensate the Purchaser for such Assets to the condition existing immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty or expropriation, in which event Seller shall have no further obligation in regards to such damage or destruction to or expropriation of the Assets. In the case of an expropriation, the Seller shall be entitled to keep the expropriation award, if any.

12. Termination of Agreement.

12.1 Termination Events. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to Closing Date as follows:

(a) by the Purchaser if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the Seller and (i) Seller has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice from the Purchaser; or (ii) Purchaser has not waived such breach;

(b) by the Seller if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the Purchaser and (i) Purchaser has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice from the Seller; or (ii) Seller has not waived such breach;

(c) by the Purchaser if any of the conditions in Section 9 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date after written notice and opportunity to cure has been given to the Seller as provided in Section 12.1(a), or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Purchaser has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date. The parties agree that with respect to a termination by Purchaser based on the non-satisfaction of the condition specified in Section 9.1 due to Seller’s breach of the representation set forth in Section 4.5(b), the representation deemed to have been made by the Seller under Section 4.5(b) shall be as follows: “The Plant and the other Assets are in material compliance with all Spanish Environmental Laws and Permits for Environmental Matters.” For purposes of the above sentence, “material” is defined as a breach which affects the value of the Assets by more than 100,000 United States Dollars;

(d) by the Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 8 has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date after written notice and opportunity to cure has been given to the Purchaser as provided in Section 12.1(b), or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of the Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Seller has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date; or

(e) by mutual consent of the Purchaser and the Seller.

Any right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.1 may only be exercised by written notice given by the terminating party to the other party.

A party requesting the other party to cure in this Section (a) through (d) may not object to a Closing

Date later than November 5, 2003, until the thirty (30) day cure period as provided above has expired or the requesting party has waived the requirement to cure. Each party agrees to provide the written notice of breach provided above as soon as practicable following discovery of the breach.

12.2 Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 12.1 is in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 10, 12.2, and 13 (other than Section 13.5) will survive. In event this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.1 (a) or (c) due to a willful breach by the Seller, then the Seller shall promptly refund to the Purchaser the USD 4,350,000 paid under Section 2.1(a) and shall pay to Purchaser an additional USD 4,350,000, as “Liquidated Damages.” In the event this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (d) due to the willful breach by the Purchaser, then the Seller shall be entitled to retain the USD 4,350,000 paid under Section 2.1(a) as Liquidated Damages. In the event this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to Section 12.1 (a), (b), (c), or (d), other than for willful breach, then the Seller shall promptly refund to the Purchaser the USD 4,350,000 paid under Section 2.1(a). In the event the parties mutually agree to terminate pursuant to Section 12.1 (e), then the Seller shall promptly refund to the Purchaser the USD 4,350,000 paid under Section 2.1 (a). In event of termination under Sections 12.1(a), (b), (c) or (d) for willful breach, if any party initiates an arbitration or court action seeking Damages in excess of USD 4,350,000, then the initiating party will have the burden of proof as to the extent of Damages, and if a final, binding determination is made by the arbitrator or court that (a) Damages are in excess of USD 4,350,000, then the Liquidated Damages shall be applied to the award of Damages, and the defending party must pay the additional amount over USD 4,350,000, or (b) Damages are less than USD 4,350,000, then the initiating party shall return the portion of the Liquidated Damages which exceeds actual Damages. If a party who receives Liquidated Damages does not initiate an arbitration or court action challenging the amount of Damages, that party may retain the Liquidated Damages indefinitely, but does not mitigate the ability of the non-initiating party to challenge the amount of the Liquidated Damages.

13. General Provisions.

13.1 Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto. Any waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be made only in a writing expressly indicating the specific provision waived and the purpose for which the waiver is given at any time on or before the Closing Date by the party entitled to the benefits thereof.

13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes any commitment, agreement, memorandum or understanding previously made by the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

13.3 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein shall be consummated, each party shall pay its own expenses incident to the preparation and performance of this Agreement. Any amounts

payable to Colliers Pinkard under any agreement entered into by the Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne solely by the Seller or its Affiliates.

In connection with any matter relating to any period before, or any period ending on, the Closing Date, the Purchaser will, upon the request and at the expense of the Seller, permit the Seller and its representatives full access at all reasonable times to the Books and Records of the Plant (and to make copies of such Books and Records, as needed) which shall have been transferred to the Purchaser and relate to pre-closing events, and the Purchaser will execute such documents as the Seller may reasonably request to enable the Seller to file any required reports or tax returns relating to the Plant or the Assets. The Purchaser will not dispose of such Books and Records during the six-year period beginning with the Closing Date without first notifying the Seller and affording the Seller a reasonable opportunity to take possession of such Books and Records, at the Seller’s sole expense. Following the expiration of such six-year period, the Purchaser may dispose of such Books and Records at any time, unless the Seller has previously notified the Purchaser of its intention to take possession of such Books and Records at no expense to the Purchaser.

13.6 Disclaimers. Except as expressly set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement the Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the Assets.

13.8 Assignment.

(a) Except as hereinafter provided, no party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate, so long as such assignment complies with (b) of this Section.

Any assignment or attempted assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section 13.8 shall be null and void.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 13.8 shall survive the Closing Date with respect to those rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement which also survive the Closing Date, for the same period during which those rights and obligations survive.

13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which shall constitute one instrument.

13.10 Headings. The Section and other headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

13.11 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

(a) The validity, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, unless expressly provided to the contrary, shall be governed by the laws of Spain, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The parties have agreed that this Agreement and any interpretation, controversies or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement, shall be in the English language, to the extent this is acceptable under applicable law. Nevertheless, to the extent such controversy or proceeding cannot be held in the English language, the parties hereto agree to have timely translations of such proceedings made as may be necessary and appropriate, provided, however, that testimony may be provided in Spanish and that written evidence may be submitted in Spanish, if Spanish is the original language of the document.

(b) In the event of any dispute between the parties with respect to the effect and interpretation of this Agreement or their obligations set forth herein, the

parties shall meet within 10 business days after one party notifies the other of such dispute in order to settle the dispute. Said notification shall state the date, time, and place of the meeting. If the dispute is not resolved by the parties within 10 business days after the date on which the meeting was held or within 20 business days after one party notifies the other of such dispute, then the parties may agree to submit it to arbitration in law in the framework of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), to which is entrusted the management of the arbitration proceeding and the designation of the arbitrators in accordance with its Regulations and Bylaws. Any such arbitration will take place in Madrid, Spain. The parties expressly place on record their undertaking to comply with the arbitration award rendered. This provision shall not prevent either party from addressing any competent court or tribunal in order to seek interim measures. Should any party file a court action regarding this Agreement, the parties irrevocably agree to submit the matter to the courts and tribunals of Madrid, Spain, and both parties agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of such courts and tribunals.

13.12 Separability. Any provision or provisions of this Agreement that in any way contravenes the law of any country in which this Agreement is effective shall, in such country, to the extent of such contravention of law, be deemed separable and shall not affect any other provision hereof or the validity hereof.

13.13 Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser the beneficial owner of all or any portion of the Assets until all of the conditions to the Purchaser’s obligation to close have been satisfied or waived in their entirety.

13.14 Confidentiality and Publicity.

(a) Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall issue a mutually acceptable separate and coordinated public announcement(s) and shall jointly conduct employee/employee representative briefings at the Plant regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From time to time thereafter, the Purchaser and the Seller may issue mutually acceptable separate and coordinated press releases and shall reasonably cooperate with each other to coordinate and approve the press release(s) and additional employee briefings. The requirement for mutual consent will not apply to any press releases made in substantially the same form as prior disclosures agreed by both parties.

(b) Until the Closing Date, all non-public, confidential information disclosed by any party or its Affiliates or representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by, or the discussions and negotiations preceding, this Agreement, to any other party or its Affiliates or representatives shall be kept confidential by such other party and its Affiliates and representatives and shall not be used by any such persons other than as contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that the information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public or within the industry to which such information relates other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving party or its representative, or (ii) at the time of disclosure to the receiving party by the disclosing party was already known by it as shown by its written records, or (iii) becomes available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a source that is entitled to disclose it on a non-confidential basis, or (iv) was or is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the

Confidential Information as shown by its written records (“Confidential Information”).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated before closing, each party shall use all reasonable efforts to return upon written request from the other party all documents and reproductions comprising the Confidential Information.

(d) After the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not use or disclose any Excluded Intellectual Property or Proprietary Commercial Information that Purchaser may acquire by reason of its presence in the Plant prior to the Closing Date or by reason of its employment of former employees of Seller, to the extent that such Excluded Intellectual Property or Proprietary Commercial Information constitutes Confidential Information, for a period of seven years after the Closing Date. After the Closing Date and for a period of seven years thereafter, Seller agrees that Seller and Seller’s Affiliates shall not use or disclose any trade secret or proprietary information of Purchaser or relating to Purchaser’s products that Seller acquired by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent it constitutes Confidential Information. In addition, neither Seller nor any of its representatives or Affiliates shall make use of, divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, to persons other than the Purchaser, any Confidential Information concerning the Assets.

(e) “Affiliate” means any legal entity that directly or indirectly owns, is owned by, or is under common ownership or control with one of the parties.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any Affiliate, employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except that (i) tax treatment and tax structure shall not include the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement and (ii) this provision shall not permit disclosure to the extent that nondisclosure is necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

(g) After publicly filing this document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, if a party is required to make a disclosure related to this Agreement in order to avoid violating any legal, regulatory or stock exchange requirements, it must first provide to the other party the content of the proposed disclosure, the reasons that such disclosure is required, the time and place the disclosure will be made and an opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure.
