For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts set forth in clauses (E) or (F) above shall be determined without double-counting for any amounts adjusted pursuant to clauses (B) through (D) above.

(c) At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Buyer Parent shall (i) pay or cause to be paid to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Purchased Stock, the Purchased Assets and the Parent IP Assets the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent and (ii) cause Buyer to assume the Assumed Liabilities. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.6.

(d) For the purposes of calculating and determining the Cash on Hand, Net Working Capital Amount, Net Intercompany Payables Amount and Indebtedness Payoff Amount in this Section 1.5 and Section 1.6, the parties hereto shall use the currency exchange rates as further described on Schedule 1.5(d).

1.6 Final Cash, Indebtedness and Net Intercompany Payables of the Purchased Entities and Net Working Capital Calculations.

(a) Determination. As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Parent a calculation of the Cash on Hand, Indebtedness Payoff Amount, Net Intercompany Payables Amount and the Net Working Capital Amount, which except as set forth on Schedule 1.6 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Business Accounting Practices and Procedures (provided that in the event of a conflict between GAAP and the Business Accounting Practices and Procedures, the Business Accounting Practices and Procedures shall control), together with reasonably detailed supporting information (the “Closing Statement”). After delivery of the Closing Statement, Parent and its accountants and Representatives shall be permitted reasonable access to review the books and records and work papers of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the work papers of Buyer’s and any of its Affiliate’s accountants) related to the preparation of the Closing Statement. Parent and its accountants and Representatives may make inquiries of Buyer and any of its Affiliates and their respective accountants and employees regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Buyer shall use its, and shall cause its Affiliates to use their, reasonable best efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If Parent has any objections to the Closing Statement, Parent shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Parent and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in the Objections Statement (and all such discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Parent, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)), but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Parent and Buyer shall submit such dispute to KPMG LLP (subject to appropriate conflicts

checks by such firm) or such other independent accounting firm as Parent and Buyer Parent may jointly select (the “Independent Auditor”). If any dispute is submitted to the Independent Auditor, each party will furnish to the Independent Auditor such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Auditor may request and are available to that party or its independent accountants (including information of the Purchased Entities and their Affiliates), and each party shall be afforded the opportunity to present the Independent Auditor material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Auditor. The Independent Auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed adjustment of the Purchase Price amount to reflect such resolution. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers that the process set forth in this Section 1.6 and the activities of the Independent Auditor in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Parent and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all such disagreements as soon as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The Closing Statement shall be modified if necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated to be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Auditor.

(b) Adjustments.

(i) Cash Adjustment. If the Cash on Hand as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is greater than the Estimated Cash on Hand, Buyer Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, such excess in accordance with Section 1.6(c). If the Cash on Hand as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is less than the Estimated Cash on Hand, Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay to Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer Parent and Buyer, such shortfall in accordance with Section 1.6(c).

(ii) Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, Buyer Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, such excess in accordance with Section 1.6(c); provided, however, that in no event shall such payment, plus the amount calculated pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(E) or minus the amount calculated pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(F), exceed $10,000,000. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay to Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer Parent and Buyer, such shortfall in accordance with Section 1.6(c); provided, however, that in no event shall such payment, plus the amount calculated pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(F) or minus the amount calculated pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(E), exceed $10,000,000.

(iii) Indebtedness Payoff Amount Adjustment. If the Indebtedness Payoff Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is greater than the Estimated Indebtedness Payoff Amount, Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay to Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer Parent and Buyer, such excess in accordance with Section 1.6(c). If the Indebtedness Payoff Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is less than the Estimated Indebtedness Payoff Amount, Buyer Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, such shortfall in accordance with Section 1.6(c).

If the Net Intercompany Payables Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is greater than the Estimated Net Intercompany Payables Amount, Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay to Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer Parent and Buyer, such excess in accordance with Section 1.6(c). If the Net Intercompany Payables Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above is less than the Estimated Net Intercompany Payables Amount, Buyer Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, such shortfall in accordance with Section 1.6(c).

(c) Final Adjustment Amount. Without duplication, all amounts owed pursuant to Sections 1.6(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be aggregated, and the net amount (if any) owed by Buyer Parent to Parent, on the one hand, or Parent to Buyer Parent, on the other hand, is referred to as the “Final Adjustment Amount”; it being understood and agreed that if the net effect pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) is an increase in the Purchase Price, then Buyer Parent shall make or cause to be made a cash payment to Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, in an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount, and if the net effect pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) is a decrease in the Purchase Price, then Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall make a cash payment to Buyer Parent, on behalf of Buyer Parent and Buyer, in an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount. The Final Adjustment Amount shall be calculated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Payment of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the date of final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the recipient party.

1.7 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code), increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the Final Adjustment Amount, shall be allocated among the Purchased Stock, the Purchased Assets and the Parent IP Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). To the extent necessary to determine the amount of Transfer Taxes or other Taxes required to be paid at or in connection with the Closing, a preliminary Allocation (the “Preliminary Allocation”) shall be prepared by Ernst & Young at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Parent and Buyer Parent shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Preliminary Allocation. If Parent and Buyer Parent are unable to resolve any such dispute regarding the Preliminary Allocation within ten (10) days of Parent’s delivery of the Preliminary Allocation to Buyer Parent, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the

Independent Auditor, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Parent and Buyer Parent. Within sixty (60) days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Ernst & Young shall deliver to Parent and Buyer Parent a final Allocation (the “Final Allocation”). Parent and Buyer Parent shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Final Allocation. If Parent and Buyer Parent are unable to resolve any such dispute regarding the Final Allocation within ten (10) days of Parent’s delivery of the Final Allocation to Buyer Parent, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Independent Auditor, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Parent and Buyer Parent. The fees and costs of Ernst & Young incurred pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) shall be borne equally by Parent and Buyer Parent.

(b) If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Final Allocation shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 1.7(a) above and in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1060-1(c).

(c) Buyer and Parent shall file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) consistent with the Final Allocation. Neither Buyer nor Parent shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Final Allocation and neither Buyer nor Parent shall agree to any proposed adjustment to the Final Allocation by any Tax authority without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Parent from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority based upon or arising out of the Final Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Parent shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority challenging such Final Allocation. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of their respective IRS Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, each of Buyer and Parent shall deliver to the other party a copy of its IRS Form 8594.

(d) The purchase price for the shares of New Zealand Entity does not include any capitalized interest and the parties agree that, for the purposes of EW32 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (New Zealand), this purchase price is the lowest price that the applicable parties would have agreed on at the time this Agreement was entered into, if payment had been required in full at the time the first right in the shares of New Zealand Entity was or is to be transferred. For the purposes of this clause, the term “right” has the same meaning as in section OB1 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (New Zealand).

1.8 Closing Costs; Fees. Buyer Parent and Parent shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of recording or filing all applicable conveyancing instruments described in Section 2.3.

local or foreign Tax law. At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall notify Parent if Buyer Parent intends to deduct and withhold any amounts pursuant to this Section 1.9 and shall reasonably cooperate with Parent to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, upon reasonable notice from Buyer, each Seller shall and shall cause each Purchased Entity to, (a) provide Buyer and its Representatives with reasonable access to the offices, properties, appropriate officers, employees, Books and Records of the Business and (b) furnish Buyer and its Representatives with such additional financial, operating and other data and information of the Business, the Purchased Entities, the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities, the Purchased Assets, the Parent IP Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as may reasonably be requested, including to facilitate Buyer’s review of compliance by the Sellers (with respect to the Business), the Purchased Entities and the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities with the Laws referenced in Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15; provided, however, that any Seller or Purchased Entity may refuse Buyer and its Representatives access to the extent that such access would, in the reasonable determination of any Seller, unreasonably interfere with or result in unreasonable access to any business of any Seller or any portion of the offices or properties of any Seller that is not part of the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer will be able to hire external advisors to perform and assist Buyer in intangible, entity, property, and pension valuations between the date hereof and the Closing Date. Sellers will provide Buyer and Buyer’s external advisors with reasonable access to the appropriate people, financials, and facilities of the Sellers for a limited number of individuals representing Buyer to complete the valuations noted previously, review and value the fixed assets between the date hereof and the Closing Date, and prepare mapping from Sellers’ accounts/departments to Buyer’s accounts/departments. Buyer acknowledges that it and its representatives and advisors remain bound by the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2011, with Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(g) sell, assign, exclusively license or transfer any material Intellectual Property Assets, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices;

(i) except (i) in the ordinary course of business, (ii) as may be required pursuant to any of the plans, policies, agreements or arrangements of the Sellers, the Purchased Entities or Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities, or (iii) as may be required by applicable Law or this Agreement, enter into or amend any employment, consulting, severance, change of control or separation agreement or arrangement with, or materially alter the terms and conditions of employment of, any Business Employee or any other person in a manner that causes such person to become a Business Employee (other than in connection with a Business Employee’s promotion to a vacant position in the Business at the same rate of compensation applicable to the employee formerly holding such position and as would not result in any material increase in the aggregate in the Liability of Buyer and its Affiliates);

(j) change any accounting policies, practices or procedures of the Business, except as required by GAAP or applicable Law;

(k) make, revoke or amend any material Tax election, change any method of Tax accounting or settle or compromise any Tax Contest (i) with respect to any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity and, (ii) if any such action shall be binding on Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing Date, create an Encumbrance on, or otherwise impact the Tax position of Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to, the Purchased Assets or the Parent IP Assets, the Purchased Assets and Parent IP Assets;

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Sellers, the Purchased Entities or the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities shall be prohibited from (i) transferring any Cash held by such entities, whether or not used in the Business and whether by distribution, dividend, repayment of Indebtedness or otherwise, to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing or (ii) settling any intercompany accounts payable, accounts receivable or Indebtedness prior to the Closing.

5.3 Required Governmental Consents, Approvals and Filings.

(a) Prior to the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, such action and do, or cause to be done, such things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Law or otherwise, to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1, and in the case of Buyer, the satisfaction of the conditions of the Sellers set forth in Section 6.3, and in the case of the Sellers, the satisfaction of the conditions of Buyer set forth in Section 6.2, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any Consents required to be obtained by any party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any Legal Proceeding (including those in connection with any applicable Antitrust Law), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Agreement becomes effective, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith, with respect to this Agreement required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law and in any event will make all necessary filings under the HSR Act within a reasonable period after the date that this Agreement becomes effective but in no event later than February 3, 2012. Nothing in

this Agreement shall require, or be deemed to require, the Buyer (1) to agree to any limitation on its rights under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or (2) to propose, negotiate, offer to commit or to effect (i) any sale, divestiture, license, hold separate or other disposition of assets or business of the Buyer or the Sellers, or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (ii) any restrictions on the control or conduct of the Business or Buyer’s other businesses; except that, to the extent necessary to obtain such Consents from any Governmental Entities, Buyer will agree to do the following and no more than the following: (1) license certain template trademarks as set forth in Exhibit J; (2) license certain intellectual property as set forth in Exhibit K; (3) divest certain production assets as set forth in Exhibit L; and (4) license and/or divest such other rights and/or assets of the Business (and not of the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) that are not material in the aggregate. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with (y) assessing whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and (z) seeking any such Consents or making any such filings; provided, however, that Buyer shall make the ultimate determination about which actions or filings, if any, are necessary. The parties hereto shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the Transactions.

(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.3, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice prior to the making or commencement of any request or Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions; (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request or Legal Proceeding; (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; and (iv) comply with any reasonable information requests of the FTC, DOJ or other Governmental Entity. Each party hereto will consult and cooperate with the other parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Transactions, provided, however, that Buyer shall have responsibility for determining the strategy for dealing with the FTC, the DOJ, and any other Governmental Authority regarding antitrust matters. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any applicable Law, in connection with any such request or Legal Proceeding, to the extent reasonably practicable, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other parties to be present at each substantive meeting or conference relating to such request or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any substantive document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request or Legal Proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Business prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and the Purchased Entities shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the operations of the Business.

5.4 Third Party Consents.

(a) The parties hereto shall give, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give, any notices to third parties, and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party Consents (including with respect to any Contracts) (i) necessary to consummate the Transactions or (ii) required to be disclosed on Schedule 3.2(b) or pursuant to Section 4.2(b); provided, that no Seller shall be required to make any payments, commence litigation or suffer any material burden in connection with obtaining any such third party Consents; provided, further, that no Seller shall be required to obtain any third party Consent for any Contract to the extent that the services or products provided by such Contract are being provided by Sellers pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, lease or Permit related to the Business or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third-party thereto, would constitute a default thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of any Seller or Buyer thereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.4(b), if such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Buyer would not receive all such rights, each applicable Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a mutually acceptable arrangement with Buyer, solely to the extent such an arrangement can replicate the rights under such Contract, lease or Permit, to provide to Buyer the benefits under any such Contract, lease, Permit or any claim or right, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of such Seller or its Subsidiaries against a third-party thereto arising out of the default or cancellation by such third-party or otherwise, and Buyer shall assume all the burdens and obligations thereunder.

5.5 Notification.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10, each party hereto will give prompt written notice to the other parties of any inaccuracy or breach of such party’s representation or warranties (in each case, as if such representation or warranty was being made by such party as of the date of such inaccuracy or breach) or covenants contained herein, in each case, which would cause a condition to a party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions as set forth in Article 6 not to be satisfied. Such disclosures shall not affect the rights of any party under this Agreement, including with respect to indemnification.

(b) Without limiting Section 5.5(a), prior to the Closing, each of the Sellers, Purchased Entities and the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities shall promptly notify Buyer Parent and Buyer of any fact or development of which it becomes aware that indicates that any of the Laws referenced in Section 3.10(c) has been, or is reasonably likely to have been, violated in any material respect with respect to the Business.

5.6 Intercompany Arrangements. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, at or prior to the Closing, (a) the Sellers shall cause all Intercompany Arrangements to be terminated or otherwise cancelled and have no further force and effect as of the Closing and (b) the Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Intercompany Payables and Intercompany Receivables to be settled or otherwise canceled.

5.7 Bulk Sales. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers will not comply with the provisions of any bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the Transactions and hereby waives, subject to Section 7.2(a), all claims related to non-compliance therewith.

5.8 Additional Buyer Entities. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, such as would not reasonably be expected to delay the expected Closing hereunder, Buyer Parent will, in consultation with Parent and taking into account the reasonable comments of Parent, designate one or more Subsidiaries of Buyer Parent that will be deemed a Buyer hereunder. Buyer Parent will cause each such Subsidiary (a) to duly execute and deliver all documents, agreements, and instruments required to be executed and delivered by such Subsidiary as a Buyer under Section 2.2 or otherwise under this Agreement and (b) if requested by Parent or any Governmental Entity, to execute a joinder to this Agreement. Each Subsidiary so designated as a Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.8 will be deemed a Buyer for all purposes hereunder.

7.2 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Subject to provisions of this Article 7, from and after the Closing, each Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer Parent, Buyer, their respective Affiliates and their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, employees, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against any losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), liabilities or other damages (collectively, “Losses”), which the Buyer Indemnified Parties suffer as a result of (i) any breach by Parent of any representation and warranty contained in Article 3 or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Sellers hereunder at or prior to the Closing, (ii) any

breach of any covenant or agreement of a Seller contained in this Agreement, (iii) any Retained Liability, (iv) Sellers’ noncompliance with any Bulk Sales Legislation to the extent relating to Retained Liabilities, or (v) (A) any Taxes of any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and (B) the Taxes of any Person (other than a Purchased Entity or a Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity) with respect to which any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity is liable under Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract (excluding customary Tax indemnification provisions in commercial contracts not primarily relating to Taxes), or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall have any liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) above, unless the aggregate of all Losses relating thereto for which Sellers would be liable, but for this Section 7.2(b), exceeds on a cumulative basis five million, five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000) (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; provided that Sellers’ aggregate liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) shall in no event exceed sixty-eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($68,750,000) (the “Cap”); provided, further, that the Cap and the Deductible shall not apply to any Losses resulting from breaches of any Fundamental Representation. In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Sellers for all Losses claimed by Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Sellers exceed the Purchase Price, except that the aggregate liability of the Sellers for all Losses which the Buyer Indemnified Parties suffer as a result of any breach of the covenants set forth in Section 9.4 shall not be subject to any limitation.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable to, or indemnify, any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Losses (i) to the extent that such Losses result from or arise out of actions taken by a Buyer Indemnified Party or any Purchased Entity or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates from and after the Closing Date, (ii) that are punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, in the nature of lost profits, or any diminution in value of property or equity (except, in any such case, to the extent that such damages are awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim), or (iii) to the extent that such matter was taken into account in the final determination of the Net Working Capital adjustment pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(ii) hereof. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not use “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or any similar valuation methodology in calculating the amount of any Losses.

(d) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall take, and shall cause the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses.

(e) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties have already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

(f) The representations made in Section 3.8 of this Agreement are not intended to serve as representations to, or a guarantee of, nor can they be relied upon with respect to, Taxes attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Periods, or Tax positions taken after the Closing Date.

7.3 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer Parent and Buyer, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Sellers, their respective Affiliates and their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, employees, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses which the Seller Indemnified Parties suffer as a result of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer Parent or Buyer under this Agreement or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Buyer Parent or Buyer hereunder, (ii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or other provision of Buyer Parent or Buyer set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any Assumed Liabilities and (iv) any claim or suit brought against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties at any time on or after the Closing Date to the extent relating to acts or omissions of Buyer Parent, Buyer or a Purchased Entity or any of their Subsidiaries whether before, on or after the Closing Date other than any claim or action by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2 relating to any breach by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer Parent nor Buyer shall have any liability under Section 7.3(a)(i) above, unless the aggregate of all Losses relating thereto for which Buyer Parent and Buyer would be liable, but for this Section 7.3(b), exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; provided that Buyer Parent’s and Buyer’s aggregate liability under Section 7.3(a)(i) shall in no event exceed the Cap; provided, further, that the Cap and the Deductible shall not apply to any Losses resulting from breaches of any Fundamental Representation.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer Parent nor any Buyer shall be liable to, or indemnify, any Seller Indemnified Party for any Losses (i) to the extent that such Losses result from or arise out of actions taken by a Seller Indemnified Party or any Purchased Entity or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates from and after the Closing Date, or (ii) that are punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, in the nature of lost profits, or any diminution in value of property or equity (except, in any such case, to the extent that such damages are awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim). The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not use “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or any similar valuation methodology in calculating the amount of any Losses.

(d) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses.

(e) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Seller Indemnified Parties have already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

7.4 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article 7 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable indemnifying party to an account designated by each applicable indemnified party within twenty (20) days after the determination thereof.

7.5 Defense of Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 (an “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or demand against the Indemnitee by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), describing the Third Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been damaged by such failure. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnitor under this Article 7 unless the Third Party Claim involves, upon advice of counsel of the Indemnitee, a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in which case the reasonable costs of a single counsel (plus local counsel) for all Indemnitees may be recoverable from the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the conduct and control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim if (a) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee the aggregate amount of the potential obligations of the Indemnitee regarding such Third Party Claim exceeds twice the amount of the remaining portion of the Cap or (b) such Third Party Claim seeks criminal penalties or non-monetary relief. If the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of a Third Party Claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee, if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim or if such settlement involves payment of money in

excess of the remaining portion of the Cap. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any amount required to be paid by the Indemnitee that exceeds, where the Indemnitee has unreasonably withheld or delayed consent in connection with the proposed compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount for which that Third Party Claim could have been settled pursuant to that proposed compromise or settlement. In all cases, the Indemnitee shall provide its reasonable cooperation with the Indemnitor in defense of Third Party Claims, including by making employees, information and documentation reasonably available. If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend against such Third Party Claim as it deems appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any such matter without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the Indemnitee is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter.

(b) Other Claims. Any Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor of any claim other than a Third Party Claim in writing promptly after receiving knowledge of the basis for such claim, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor has been damaged by such failure.

7.6 Determination of Loss Amount. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall be calculated taking into account (i) any Tax Benefit actually realized in cash by the Indemnitee on account of such Loss, (ii) any reserves or liabilities set forth in the Financial Statements and/or Closing Statement relating to such Loss and (iii) any insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements received by the Indemnitee on account of such Loss. If the Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit (net of any tax detriment) on account of such Loss after an indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Person or Persons that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnitee. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes actually received or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would be paid by the Indemnitee, in each case computed at the highest marginal tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit.

The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation, warranty or covenant hereunder shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty or covenant terminates pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the party to be indemnified shall have, prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the nature of, and factual and legal basis for, any such claim for indemnification, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) to the indemnifying party.

7.8 Limitation on Recourse. No claim shall be brought or maintained by any Buyer Indemnified Party or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns against any current or former officer, director, employee or Affiliate of any party (which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto), and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

Buyer, on one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, further agree, upon request from one party and provided that it does not create (and might not potentially create) any significant burden to the other party and at the expense of the requesting party, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the Transactions).

8.2 Transfer Taxes and VAT.

(a) Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent (on behalf of Sellers), on the other hand, shall be equally liable for all sales, use, transfer, land value, documentary, stamp, registration, conveyance, goods and services, harmonized sales or other similar Taxes imposed by any Tax jurisdiction domestic or foreign (excluding VAT), and all recording or filing, notarial fees and other similar costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The Purchase Price shall not include any Transfer Taxes, and such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by Buyer and Parent in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2.

The party required to file a Transfer Tax Return shall submit such Transfer Tax Return (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers and other documentation) to the non-filing party for such party’s review, comment, and approval not less than twenty (20) days before the due date (including extensions) for the filing of such Transfer Tax Return. If one party is required to file a Transfer Tax Return or otherwise pay a Transfer Tax bill, the other party (Buyer or Parent, as the case may be) shall pay half of the Transfer Taxes owing with respect to such Transfer Tax Return to such party no later than the earlier of five (5) days prior to the due date of such Transfer Tax Return.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.10 and Section 8.11, with respect to assets transferred by a Seller resident in the European Union or in a jurisdiction which has adopted a VAT regime similar to the provisions of the VAT Directive, unless stated otherwise in the Preliminary Allocation, the parties hereto assume that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do constitute a supply of goods and that Article 19 of the VAT Directive or similar applicable local Law provisions do not apply. Based on this assumption, the Preliminary Allocation sets forth the assets in respect of which VAT is owed by Buyer to the relevant Sellers together with the Purchase Price allocated to such assets. Where any VAT set forth in the Preliminary Allocation is recoverable by Buyer, the relevant Sellers shall issue valid

invoices meeting the requirements of the applicable VAT Law and on a basis consistent with the Preliminary Allocation and Buyer shall pay to Parent such VAT in addition to the Purchase Price allocated to such assets on the later of Closing or receipt of a valid VAT invoice. Where any VAT set forth in the Preliminary Allocation is irrecoverable by Buyer, the relevant Sellers shall issue valid invoices meeting the requirements of the applicable VAT Law and on a basis consistent with the Preliminary Allocation and Buyer shall pay to Parent fifty percent of such VAT in addition to the Purchase Price on the later of Closing and receipt of a valid VAT invoice. If and to the extent the Final Allocation reflects values of the Purchased Assets deviating from the amounts listed in the Preliminary Allocation, the relevant Sellers shall issue adjusted valid invoices meeting the requirements of the applicable VAT Law, and (i) where the purchase price for the assets is increased and (x) VAT is recoverable by Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Parent an amount equal to any additional VAT that becomes due as a result of such increase, with payment to be made by Buyer on receipt of an appropriate VAT invoice, or (y) VAT is irrecoverable by Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Parent an amount equal to fifty per cent. of any additional VAT that becomes due as a result of such increase, with payment to be made by Buyer on receipt of an appropriate VAT invoice, or (ii) where the purchase price for any assets is decreased, Parent or the appropriate Seller shall issue a VAT credit note or equivalent to Buyer and shall, to the extent the Excess VAT is actually recovered and retained by it or is creditable by Parent or such appropriate Seller against any VAT liability of Parent or such appropriate Seller, (x) if VAT is recoverable by Buyer, pay such Excess VAT to Buyer, or (y) if VAT is irrecoverable by Buyer, pay fifty per cent. of such Excess VAT to Buyer, and for the purposes of this Section 8.2(c)(ii) “Excess VAT” means the VAT actually paid (after deducting any previous refund under this Section 8.2(c)(ii)) by Buyer that would not have been payable had the purchase price for the assets at all times reflected the relevant adjustment or amendment in allocation provided that no payment shall be due under this Section 8.2(c)(ii) from Parent or such appropriate Seller where any part of the consideration (inclusive of VAT) payable pursuant to this Agreement which is subject to adjustment under this Section 8.2(c)(ii) remains outstanding. The adjusted invoices shall be delivered within ten (10) Business Days after the Final Allocation has been determined pursuant to Section 1.7(a), and the respective VAT amount shall be repaid or paid, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the respective invoice. If a relevant Tax authority decides that contrary to the assumptions made in the Preliminary Allocation one or more of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not constitute a supply of goods pursuant to Article 19 of the VAT Directive or similar applicable local Law provisions, then the relevant Seller shall issue within ten (10) Business Days after a binding decision of the relevant Tax authority is available, adjusted valid invoices meeting the requirements of the applicable VAT Law, and the Buyer shall make a corresponding VAT payment to the relevant Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the adjusted invoice by the Buyer or, as the case may be, the relevant Sellers shall make a VAT repayment to the Buyer within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the relevant Seller of the respective repayment from the relevant Tax authority.

All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for the Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Parent (on behalf of Sellers), as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 8.3 together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or any Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 8.3, the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

Buyer shall cause the Purchased Entities to pay on their due date to the relevant Tax authorities any Taxes as due on such Tax Returns; provided that Parent (on behalf of Sellers) shall reimburse Buyer for any such Taxes paid within twenty (20) days of payment by such Purchased Entities to the extent such Taxes are subject to Sellers’ obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

(b) Tax Periods Ending On or Before the Closing Date – Parent Consolidated, Combined or Unitary Tax Returns. For all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, Parent shall cause the Purchased Entities (other than the Germany Entity) to join in any consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Return of Parent or of any Subsidiary of Parent, as applicable, and Parent or such Subsidiary of Parent shall pay any Taxes attributable to the Purchased Entities and with respect to the Purchased Assets and Parent IP Assets shown as due on such Tax Returns and, where applicable, the Purchased Entities will promptly pay to Parent or to such Subsidiary of Parent any amount that they are liable to pay in accordance with such consolidation Tax regime or any Tax consolidation agreement concluded with Parent or such Subsidiary of Parent, as the case may be, to the extent such Taxes are subject to Buyer’s obligation to indemnify Sellers pursuant

to Section 7.3; provided that, prior to any such payment is made, Parent shall promptly provide Buyer a computation of the amounts owed to Parent by the Purchased Entities for Buyer’s review, comment and approval.

For purposes of this Agreement, Property Taxes for any Straddle Period shall be allocated as described in Section 8.3, and for all other Taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date.

(d) Disputes. Parent and Buyer shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of review of any of the Tax Returns or items thereof as provided in this Section 8.4 and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing any such Tax Return) by the Independent Auditor.

The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by Parent.

8.5 Characterization of Payments.

8.6 Actions After Closing.

(a) None of Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity shall take any action on or after the Closing Date that could increase the Tax Liability of the Sellers with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including pursuant to Section 951 or 1248 of the Code resulting from transactions or actions entered into by any such entity on or after the Closing Date but on or prior to the last day of the taxable year in which the Closing occurs, or could increase the Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for all obligations and Liabilities to the Business Employees resulting from, whether directly or indirectly, Sellers’ acts or omissions in relation to such notification and consultation process, except (i) such acts or omissions to which Buyer has expressly consented or (ii) where such obligations or Liabilities result from a failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Employment.

(i) No later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to Closing, Sellers will deliver to Buyer an updated Schedule 3.9(f) to include current information regarding Business Employees as of such date of delivery.

(ii) Each Business Employee who is employed by a Purchased Entity or a Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity immediately prior to the Closing shall continue employment with such Purchased Entity or Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity immediately following the Closing without further action on the part of Buyer, the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (such Business Employees are referred to herein as “Purchased Entity Employees”).

(iii) The parties agree that the Transfer of Undertakings applies to the sale and purchase of the Business and certain of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement. Subject to the right of an ARD Business Employee to object to the transfer, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the contract of employment between the relevant Seller and each such ARD Business Employee will have effect after the Closing Date as if originally between Buyer or an Affiliate thereof and that ARD Business Employee to the extent required by the Transfer of Undertakings.

(iv) With respect to each Business Employee who is employed by any of the Sellers or any Affiliate of the Sellers (other than any Purchased Entity or Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity) immediately prior to the Closing (the “Non-Purchased Entity Employees”), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (A) for the Non-Purchased Entity Employees who are not ARD Business Employees, extend written offers of employment (or, with respect to Non-Purchased Entity Employees providing services in Mexico, provide transfer notices) (such offer or transfer notice, as applicable, an “Offer”), in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers (which has been provided to the Sellers for review and comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to use thereof), no later than ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as is required by Law) prior to the Closing, (B) for the ARD Business Employees whose employment automatically transfers pursuant to the Transfer of Undertakings, assume the employment of such ARD

Business Employees on the Closing Date in accordance with all applicable Laws, and (C) for the Business Employees whose employment is expected by the parties to automatically transfer to Buyer or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to the Transfer of Undertakings but whose employment does not in fact transfer to Buyer or an Affiliate thereof, extend an Offer, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date. Buyer and the Sellers or their respective Affiliates shall jointly inform the ARD Business Employees about the Transfer of Undertakings at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Closing. Each Offer extended to a Non-Purchased Entity Employee shall (I) be for employment by Buyer or an Affiliate thereof as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Offer to a Non-Purchased Entity Employee on a leave of absence, as of the date of such Non-Purchased Entity Employee’s return from such leave of absence), (II) provide for continuing employment in a substantially equivalent position and with compensation and benefits coverage that (X) with respect to a Mexican Non-Purchased Entity Employee, are at least equivalent to the compensation and benefits coverage provided to such Mexican Non-Purchased Entity Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (Y) with respect to any other Non-Purchased Entity Employee, in the aggregate, are at least substantially equivalent to the compensation and benefits coverage provided to such Non-Purchased Entity Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (III) require that such Non-Purchased Entity Employee acknowledge and agree that, as of the Closing Date, he or she will have resigned from, or voluntarily ceased, employment with each Seller employing such Non-Purchased Entity Employee. In addition, all Offers shall be made in accordance with all applicable Laws. Sellers and Buyer shall take all reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to cause the Non-Purchased Entity Employees to accept Buyer’s Offers or to otherwise become employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in a jurisdiction where the Transfer of Undertakings applies (including making application for (and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) any work permit or visa, employment pass, or other legal or regulatory approval for employment). Neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will seek to induce any Non-Purchased Entity Employee to reject any Offer from Buyer or any of its Affiliates made in accordance with the terms hereof, and such Non-Purchased Entity Employees who accept Offers shall become employees of Buyer or Affiliates immediately following the Closing (or, in the case of any Offer to a Non-Purchased Entity Employee on a leave of absence, upon such Non-Purchased Entity Employee’s return from such leave of absence) and shall then cease to be employees of any Seller or Affiliates. All Purchased Entity Employees, Non-Purchased Entity Employees who accept Offers, and Non-Purchased Entity Employees whose employment automatically transfers pursuant to a Transfer of Undertakings are referred to herein as the “Transferring Employees.”

(v) Buyer Parent and Buyer, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates against any Liabilities which the Sellers and their respective Affiliates incur arising from Sellers’ termination of any Business Employee who is entitled to object to transfer to employment with Buyer and who does not become a Transferring Employee (“Non-Transferring Employee”) for (A) severance pay and benefits and (B) notice pay, in each case that is required to be paid by Sellers to such Business Employee under any applicable Employee Plan or Law, provided that

Sellers give written notice to Buyer of their intent to terminate such Non-Transferring Employee within thirty (30) days following such Non-Transferring Employee’s objection to transfer, but in no event shall such indemnification by Buyer be more than an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000.

(vi) The Sellers shall provide to Buyer and its Affiliates all employment records for each Transferring Employee that are required to be provided to Buyer and its Affiliates under and subject to applicable Law. Buyer and its Affiliates shall ensure that all such records are used, processed and stored in accordance with applicable Law. Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates from and against any statutory, common law or other claims that arise from the use of such employment records by Buyer or its Affiliates other than in compliance with applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Law, the Sellers and their Affiliates shall be permitted to retain a copy of any employment records provided to Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(vi) or otherwise.

(vii) Except as otherwise set forth herein (and in no way limiting any other provisions of this Agreement), Buyer shall bear all of the Liabilities, obligations and costs relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates from and against, (A) any claims made by any Business Employee for any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits, any contractual or other severance or separation benefits, and any other legally mandated payment obligations (including any compensation payable during (or in lieu of) a mandatory termination notice period, any payments pursuant to an Order of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and any payments in connection with accrued annual leave, long service leave or similar accrued rights) and for any other claim, cost, Liability or obligation (whether related to compensation, benefits or otherwise), in each case, arising out of or in connection with the failure of Buyer or its Affiliates to make an Offer to any Non-Purchased Entity Employee or to continue the employment of any Transferring Employee, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law, (B) any claims relating to the employment of any Purchased Entity Employee or ARD Business Employee incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date, and (C) any claims relating to the employment by Buyer or its Affiliates of any Non-Purchased Entity Employee (excluding any ARD Business Employee) incurred on or after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any such indemnification shall be limited and reduced to the extent that such Liabilities, obligations and costs arise solely from or in connection with the failure of Sellers to comply with any Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and (D) any claims relating to any severance pay liabilities arising under Transaction Bonus Agreements that are payable solely as a result of any Buyer’s termination of employment of any Transferring Employee (“Transaction Bonus Severance Liabilities”).

(viii) Sellers shall bear all of the Liabilities, obligations and costs relating to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against, (A) any claim by any Non-Purchased Entity Employee (excluding any ARD Business Employee) against Buyer and/or its Affiliates arising from or originating during

employment by or on behalf of Sellers or their Affiliates prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Non-Purchased Entity Employee on a leave of absence on the Closing Date, prior to the effective date of such Non-Purchased Entity Employee’s employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates), and (B) any claim in connection with the Transaction Bonus Agreements other than claims related to Transaction Bonus Severance Liabilities.

(ix) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be interpreted to require Buyer to continue the employment of any Transferring Employee, or confer on any Transferring Employee any right to continued employment with the Buyer, for any period of time following the Closing Date.

(i) For a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (or such longer period as is required by Law), Buyer agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferring Employee compensation and benefits coverage that (A) with respect to each Mexican Non-Purchased Entity Employee, are at least equivalent to the compensation and benefits coverage provided to such Mexican Non-Purchased Entity Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (B) with respect to each other Transferring Employee, in the aggregate, are at least substantially equivalent to the compensation and benefits coverage provided to such Transferring Employee immediately prior to the Closing.

(ii) Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to), pursuant to employee benefit plans, policies, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer and its Affiliates (the “Buyer Plans”) (A) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Transferring Employees under Buyer Plans, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date under the corresponding Employee Plan (subject to Buyer’s ability to obtain any required consent of any insurer with respect to any Buyer Plan without unreasonable effort or expense), (B) provide each Transferring Employee with credit under Buyer Plans for any co-payments and deductibles paid under the corresponding Employee Plans prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements for the year in which the Closing Date occurs (subject to the receipt by the applicable vendors of any information which is reasonably necessary regarding such co-payments and deductibles previously paid), and (C) (x) to the extent the Sellers or their Affiliates are required by Law to pay or otherwise compensate Transferring Employees for accrued, unused vacation, personal or sick days, pay the Sellers an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such payment or compensation by the Sellers and their Affiliates to such Transferring Employees and (y) to the extent the Sellers and their Affiliates are not required by Law to pay or otherwise compensate Transferring Employees for accrued, unused vacation, personal or sick days, honor all vacation, personal and sick days accrued by such Transferring Employees under the applicable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable Laws, for purposes of

determining eligibility to participate, vesting and determination of the level of benefits (but not accrual or entitlement to benefits under any defined benefit pension plan or the level of company matching contributions under any defined contribution pension plan) for Transferring Employees under all Buyer Plans, Buyer shall or shall cause its Affiliates to recognize service with the Sellers and their Affiliates to the same extent recognized under the corresponding Employee Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) WARN Act. On or before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a list of layoffs of employees of the Business providing services in the United States, by location, implemented by the Sellers in the ninety (90) day period preceding the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for providing or discharging any and all notifications, benefits and liabilities to employees and governmental entities under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar state or local Law relating to plant closings, employee separations or severance pay that are first required to be provided or discharged on or after the Closing Date (including as to employees identified on the pre-Closing layoff list provided to Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)) if actions by Buyer on or after the Closing Date result in such a notice requirement.

(e) Defined Contribution Plans. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Buyer (or one of its Affiliates) shall take all action necessary or appropriate to establish one or more defined contribution plans intended to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code for the benefit of the Transferring Employees (collectively, the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”). Transferring Employees shall have their continuous service as defined in the Avery Dennison Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) credited under the Buyer 401(k) Plan solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting. As soon as reasonably practicable after such date as the Sellers have been provided (i) evidence that Buyer has established a trust to hold the assets of the corresponding Buyer 401(k) Plan, and (ii) that the Buyer 401(k) Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the trust holding the assets of the Buyer 401(k) Plan is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code (the “Transfer Date”), the Sellers shall cause the accounts under the Seller 401(k) Plan of each participant who is a Transferring Employee to be transferred to the Buyer 401(k) Plan. Such transfer shall include a transfer of the applicable assets from the trust pursuant to the Seller 401(k) Plan to the trust pursuant to the Buyer 401(k) Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code. Such transfer of assets shall be in cash but shall include any promissory notes or other evidences of indebtedness with respect to outstanding plan loans to Transferring Employees who are participants in the Seller 401(k) Plan. On or prior to the Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause all unvested accrued benefits to become fully vested for the Transferring Employees for the period up to and including the Closing Date. No later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Sellers will prepare and deliver to Buyer a schedule setting forth (i) the names of the Transferring Employees who participate under the Seller 401(k) Plan, (ii) details of any outstanding plan loans from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Transferring Employees, and (iii) the account balances of such Transferring Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date.

(f) Other Pension Plans.

(i) On and after the Closing Date, the Purchased Entities, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be responsible for, and assume all Liabilities related to, the Transferring Pension Plans and none of the Sellers or their Affiliates will have any Liability or obligations on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Transferring Pension Plans (subject to the receipt by Buyer and its Affiliates of all information reasonably necessary to administer and operate such Transferring Pension Plans following the Closing Date).

(ii) If a Seller or any of its Affiliates retains employees who are participants in a Transferring Pension Plan, then such Seller or Affiliate thereof will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) ensure that each such employee ceases to participate in the Transferring Pension Plan prior to the Closing Date, and (B) cause each such employee’s accrued benefits under such plan to be transferred from the Transferring Pension Plan to another employee benefit plan of the Seller or an Affiliate thereof (the “Retained Pension Plan”). If the transfer described in Section 9.1(f)(ii)(B) does not occur prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate to ensure the transfer to the Retained Pension Plan is made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.

(iii) Buyer and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) ensure that each Business Employee who is a participant in the Swiss pension plan sponsored by a Seller (the “Retained Swiss Plan”) ceases to participate in the Retained Swiss Plan as of the Closing Date, (B) cause each such Business Employee’s vested credit benefits under the Retained Swiss Plan to be transferred to the applicable employee benefit plan of Buyer or Affiliate thereof in accordance with Swiss Law and regulations governing such plan, and (C) ensure that a transfer of assets equal in value to the amount of vested credit benefits described in Section 9.1(f)(iii)(B) is made from the Retained Swiss Plan to the applicable employee benefit plan of Buyer or Affiliate thereof.

(iv) Buyer and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) ensure that each Business Employee who is a participant in the Mexican pension plan sponsored by a Seller (the “Retained Mexican Plan”) ceases to participate in the Retained Mexican Plan as of the Closing Date, (B) cause each such Business Employee’s benefits under the Retained Mexican Plan to be transferred to the applicable employee benefit plan of Buyer or Affiliate thereof in accordance with Mexican Law and regulations governing such plan, and (C) ensure that a transfer of assets equal in value to the amount of benefits described in Section 9.1(f)(iv)(B) is made from the Retained Mexican Plan to the applicable employee benefit plan of Buyer or Affiliate thereof.

(v) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Buyer (or one of its Affiliates) shall take all action necessary to establish one or more Buyer Plans that shall qualify as a successor pension plan under the provisions of the Pension Benefits Act

(R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER P.8) (Ontario) or similar Law of all Canadian jurisdictions in which each Transferring Employee is employed (“Canadian Successor Pension Plan”) for each Employee Plan that qualifies as a pension plan under the Pension Benefits Act (R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER P.8) (Ontario) or similar Law of each Canadian jurisdiction in which a Transferring Employee is employed (“Canadian Predecessor Pension Plan”). All Transferring Employees shall be credited with service for the purposes of eligibility and vesting under each Canadian Successor Pension Plan for all periods of employment credited under each Canadian Predecessor Pension Plan.

(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall create any third party beneficiary right in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, including any current or former Business Employee, any participant in any Employee Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any right to continued employment with the Business, the Sellers, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall constitute an amendment to any Employee Plan or any other plan or arrangement covering Business Employees.

9.2 Post-Closing Access. Subject to the Transition Services Agreement, the Supply Agreement and the Trademark Coexistence Agreement and without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 8.1, from and after the Closing, each party hereto agrees that it will cooperate with and make available to the other party, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, (i) all Books and Records and other documents related to the Business, (ii) information related to the Business and (iii) employees (without substantial disruption of employment), in each case which are necessary or useful in connection with any audit, investigation or dispute, any litigation or investigation or any other matter requiring any such Books and Records, information or employees for any reasonable business purpose. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Parent, Buyer Parent shall and shall cause Buyer, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries not to, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any Books and Records or information or portions thereof related to the Business and relating to periods prior to the Closing Date. Except in connection with uses contemplated by this Agreement, all information received pursuant to this Section 9.2 (the “Section 9.2 Information”) shall be kept confidential by the party obtaining such information (the “Receiving Party”), subject to any disclosure that is required to be made by such party in order to comply with applicable Laws or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange upon which its securities are traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Section 9.2 Information shall not include information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party, (b) was within the Receiving Party’s possession prior to it being furnished to such Receiving Party by Buyer (in the case of any Seller) or any Seller (in the case of Buyer), (c) becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Buyer (in the case of any Seller) or any Seller (in the case of Buyer) or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without violating the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder.

9.3 Publicity. Except as required by applicable Laws or applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange upon which its securities are traded, without prior written approval of Buyer and Parent, none of Buyer, the Sellers, the Purchased Entities or their respective Affiliates shall issue any press release or make any public statement regarding this Agreement and the Transactions.

9.4 Non-Competition.

(a) In consideration of Buyer entering into this Agreement and in order for Buyer to enjoy the full benefits of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Entities, from the Closing Date until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (each, a “Restricted Party”) not to, directly or indirectly (including, in all cases, as an owner, investor, partner, licensor, joint venture or otherwise), develop, manufacture, market, convert, distribute or sell Printable Media Products or Other Products, in each case for distribution or sale through the OCP Channels to end-users (such products, the “Restricted Products”, and the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing, converting, distributing or selling the Restricted Products, the “Restricted Business”). The “Restricted Products” do not include industrial adhesive products (including commercial and industrial products incorporating adhesives such as pressure-sensitive laminates, industrial adhesives, or labels other than labels sold or distributed to the OCP Channels) or the Sticky Note Products, Label Pad Products or NoteTabs Products which Restricted Parties sold in connection with the Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Restricted Products shall include any products for sale or distribution in the OCP Channels that are named, identified or designated as labels or label pads.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 9.4(a), Restricted Parties shall not be prohibited or in any way restricted from engaging in the following activities to the extent such activities were or are not undertaken with the intention or principal purpose of avoiding the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a):

(i) developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling any products or services directed to business-to-business customers serving industrial, commercial and manufacturing customers, distributors and retailers engaged in use of labels for identifying, tracking or tracing assets or inventory or in the process of manufacturing, labeling, packaging, or selling such customers’ products or providing services;

(ii) developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling products and solutions to the extent such products or solutions are (A) the labels business conducted in Europe under the brand name “JAC” and “Fasson” by Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ graphics business as of the date of this Agreement, (B) printers, (C) scanners, readers and/or products and solutions incorporating acousto-magnetic, radio-frequency or electronic article surveillance technology or (D) button and other non-adhesive attachment devices;

(iii) developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling warning, usage or other labels for industrial, manufacturing and commercial applications, but only to the extent such warning or usage labels are not Purchased Assets or the assets of the Purchased Entities and the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities; or

(iv) developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling materials, products and services to customers, including competitors of the Restricted Business, for use in end-products developed, manufactured, marketed, distributed and/or sold by such customers to consumer end users where such materials or products are Existing Exclusive Products (including Replacement Products for those Existing Exclusive Products), Exclusive Components (including Replacement Components for those Exclusive Components), New Products (including Replacement Products for those New Products), Other Existing Products (including any subsequent Replacement Products for those Other Existing Products), or other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels, in each case as defined in the Supply Agreement, but only to the extent, in each case, that such materials or products are no longer subject to the exclusivity provisions of Section 2.2 or Section 2.5 of the Supply Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 9.4(a), Restricted Parties shall not be prohibited or in any way restricted from:

(i) engaging in the Restricted Business to the extent necessary to perform its duties under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements;

(ii) owning for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of acquisition an equity interest of less than five percent (5%) of any other Person engaged in the Restricted Business acquired as a creditor in bankruptcy and not by a voluntary investment decision, provided that such interest does not give any Restricted Party the right to appoint directors or management of such Person or to otherwise exercise control over the management of such Person; or

(iii) acquiring the assets or capital stock or other equity interests of any other Person engaged in the Restricted Business, provided that (A) the net sales attributable to the Restricted Business conducted by such Person accounts for less than ten percent (10%) of the net sales of such Person for its most recently completed fiscal year, (B) the Restricted Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to divest such Restricted Business as soon as reasonably practicable following completion of such acquisition, and (C) such acquisition was not undertaken with the intention or principal purpose of avoiding the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4.

(d) The restrictions in Section 9.4(a) shall apply worldwide.

(e) Parent agrees that the terms of Section 9.4(a) are fair and reasonable and are necessary to accomplish the full transfer of the goodwill and other intangible assets hereby. In the event that any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 (including any component of the definition of Restricted Business) shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction

to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then any such provisions shall not be deemed void, and the parties hereto agree that said limits may be modified by the court and that said covenant contained in Section 9.4(a) shall be amended in accordance with said modification, it being specifically agreed by the parties that it is their continuing desire that this covenant be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions, and if a court finds the full scope of the covenant to be unenforceable, the court should redefine the covenant so as to provide the fullest extent of its terms and conditions permitted under applicable Law.

(f) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of Section 9.4 will be inadequate and, accordingly, Parent covenants and agrees that Buyer shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which such party may have at Law, be entitled (i) to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of any such provision, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) in any action to enforce such provisions to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any such enforcement activities if Buyer is the prevailing party. Parent hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with seeking any such equitable relief.

9.5 Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, no Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, whether for their own account or for the account of any Person, solicit, offer employment to or hire any individual that is a Transferring Employee; provided, however, that the Sellers and their Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from (i) initiating searches for employees through the use of general advertisement or through the engagement of firms to conduct searches that are not targeted or focused on the Transferring Employees (and the hiring of employees that respond to any such searches) or (ii) hiring any such employee not employed by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, including any Purchased Entity or Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity, at the time of solicitation.

(b) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, the Purchased Entities and the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities, not to, whether for their own account or for the account of any Person, solicit, offer employment to or hire any individual set forth on Schedule 9.5(b); provided, however, that Buyer, its Subsidiaries, the Purchased Entities and the Subsidiaries of the Purchased Entities shall not be prohibited from (i) initiating searches for employees through the use of general advertisement or through the engagement of firms to conduct searches that are not targeted or focused on the employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (and the hiring of employees that respond to any such searches) or (ii) hiring any such employee not employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, at the time of solicitation.

(c) If any provision of this Section 9.5 is deemed invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of Law or of any public policy, all other provisions of

this Section 9.5 shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no provision shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision unless so expressed herein. A court of competent jurisdiction may so modify the objectionable provision as to make it valid, reasonable, and enforceable. The parties intend that the restrictions imposed by this Agreement be given the construction that renders their provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding their express terms, possible under applicable Law.

9.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Buyer and the Purchased Entities shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors, officers and employees of Avery Dennison Office Products Company (“ADOPC”), the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries to the same extent such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to applicable Law, the Organizational Documents of any of Parent, ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and/or their Subsidiaries, and indemnification agreements or arrangements in existence on the date of this Agreement with any current or former directors, officers and employees of ADOPC, the Purchased Entities or their Subsidiaries, arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors, officers or employees of ADOPC, the Purchased Entities or any of their Subsidiaries occurring at or prior to the Closing. Buyer and the Purchased Entities shall advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6(a) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Organizational Documents of any of Parent, ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and/or their Subsidiaries and the indemnification agreements or arrangements in existence on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the current or former director, officer or employee to whom expenses are advanced undertakes to repay such advanced expenses to Buyer or the Purchased Entities if it is ultimately determined that such current or former director, officer or employee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is made against such persons with respect to matters subject to indemnification hereunder on or prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 9.6(a) shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of current and former directors, officers and employees of the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries for periods at or prior to the Closing than are currently set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries. The indemnification agreements and arrangements in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Purchased Entities or their Subsidiaries shall be assumed by Buyer, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Closing.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, for the benefit of the current and former directors and officers of ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing, an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Closing (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the existing policy or policies providing coverage to ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries (true and complete copies of which have been previously provided to Buyer) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three-hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as is available for such amount. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies consistent with the requirements set forth above have been obtained prior to the Closing, which policies provide such current and former directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing, including in respect of the Transactions. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Closing, Buyer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) In the event Buyer, any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary of a Purchased Entity (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 9.6. The obligations under this Section 9.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any past or present directors, officers and employees of ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries to whom this Section 9.6 applies without the consent of such affected person (it being expressly agreed that the persons to whom this Section 9.6 applies are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.6). In the event of any breach by Buyer or the Purchased Entities of this Section 9.6, Buyer shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any past or present directors, officers and employees of ADOPC, the Purchased Entities and their Subsidiaries in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 9.6 as such fees are incurred upon the written request of such person.

11.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that Buyer may assign its rights and interests to any of its Affiliates unless such assignment would prevent, delay or otherwise interfere with the consummation of any of the Transactions.

The failure of a party hereto to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

11.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, and subject to Section 9.4(e), all other terms or other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10.

11.12 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other parties to this Agreement would be irreparably damaged in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached.

The equitable remedies described in this Section 11.12 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties hereto may elect to pursue.

11.13 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

Entity and not the Sellers.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the body of this Agreement and the attached Exhibits, such Exhibits shall be controlling.

(b) Transition Services Provided By Buyer. To the extent still required by Seller as of the date of and during the Term of this Agreement, Buyer shall provide, or in its sole discretion shall cause or arrange for the Business or one or more of its Affiliates or service providers to provide, to Seller and/or, if applicable, an Affiliate of Seller set forth in the attached Exhibits (collectively with Seller, “Seller Receiving Party”), the services provided by the Business with respect to Seller Receiving Party described in Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the “Buyer’s Transition Services”), provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to provide the Buyer’s Transition Services to or in respect of any Seller Receiving Party that ceases to be an Affiliate of Seller. Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer, the Buyer’s Transition Services shall be provided during normal business hours. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the body of this Agreement and the attached Exhibits, such Exhibits shall be controlling.

(c) Additional Definitions. As used herein, and as the context may require, (i) the Buyer’s Transition Services and the Seller’s Transition Services shall each be the “Transition Services”, (ii) Affiliates of Buyer or Seller who receive the benefit of the Transition Services shall each be a “Receiving Affiliate”, (iii) Seller Receiving Party and Buyer Receiving Party shall each be a “Receiving Party”, and (iv) the “Providing Party” shall be the provider of the Transition Services, whether it be Buyer, an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller, an Affiliate of Seller, or a service provider of either Party.

(d) Missing Transition Services. Seller agrees that, if any transition service is identified after the Closing that is not contained in Exhibit A-1 but is necessary to allow Buyer to conduct its business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as it was conducted immediately prior to the Closing (any such service a “Missing Transition Service”), Seller shall discuss with Buyer in good faith the provision of such Missing Transition Service on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing and the Parties shall amend this Agreement to provide for such Missing Transition Service.

(e) Level of Services.

(i) The Providing Party shall provide the Transition Services at the same location and in a reasonably similar manner in which such Transition Services were provided immediately prior to the Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, with respect to any Transition Service, the Providing Party shall not be required to provide a level of service which is higher than (including as to volume, quantity, level, complexity or frequency, as applicable) the level of service provided by the Providing Party immediately prior to the Closing, or to make changes to any Transition Service, including the location where the services are to be provided; provided, however, that the Project Managers for a Transition Service may mutually agree to any such increase or change in such Transition Service, including any cost or fee adjustments associated with such increase or change. Except as set forth in Sections 13 and 14 of this Agreement, no Providing Party shall be liable for any error or omission in rendering such services, or any defect in the services rendered.

(ii) The Providing Party’s obligation to provide the Transition Services with respect to the Receiving Party in a reasonably similar manner as provided immediately prior to the Closing shall be subject to the Receiving Party ensuring that the physical and technical environment and level of trained personnel at the facilities of the Receiving Party during the Term of this Agreement are reasonably similar to those which were present immediately prior to the Closing.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after written notice to the Providing Party, the Receiving Party may make changes to the physical or technical

E-2

environment or level of trained personnel at the facilities of the Receiving Party to the extent such changes do not, in the Providing Party’s reasonable determination, adversely impact the ability of the Providing Party to deliver the Transition Services. In the event that the Providing Party reasonably determines that its ability to deliver the Transition Services is adversely impacted as a result of any such changes, then, upon written notice to the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall be entitled to charge the Receiving Party for the Providing Party’s costs attributable to remedy the effect of such changes in accordance with Section 5(c)(iii). If the Receiving Party provides notice in accordance with Section 5(c)(iii) that it does not wish to incur such additional costs, the Providing Party may terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to such Transition Services (and any Transition Services related thereto or dependent thereon).

(f) Third Party Providers. Seller or Buyer may, in each Party’s sole discretion, arrange for a third party service provider to provide any of the Transition Services; provided, however, that Seller or Buyer, as applicable, will use any and all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that any such Transition Services provided by such third party shall be provided in substantially the same manner in which such Transition Services were provided to or by the Business immediately prior to the Closing, and provided, further, that Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall continue to be responsible for the performance of any Transition Services provided by any such third party. The Receiving Party may not request any change to or increase in any Transition Service provided by a third party without simultaneously providing a copy of such request to the Party that arranged for such third party to provide such Transition Service, and no such change to or increase in such Transition Service may be made without the arranging Party’s approval of such request.

(g) Project Managers. The Parties have each designated in the Exhibits hereto, for each type of Transition Service provided, one of their employees (or an employee of an Affiliate) as their respective “Project Manager” for the designated Transition Service. The Project Managers shall be the principal point of contact for the Parties for all matters relating to such Transition Services. Each Project Manager shall have appropriate decision-making authority for its respective Party and shall be responsible for such Party’s monitoring of the status of the designated Transition Services. A Project Manager may be replaced at any time and for any reason by the Party employing the Project Manager and such replacement shall be effective upon written notice to the other Party of such replacement.

(h) Transition Services Managers. Each Party has designated the employee of such Party (or its Affiliate) set forth below its name on Schedule 1 hereto as its “Transition Services Manager” for this Agreement. Each Transition Services Manager shall have appropriate decision-making authority from its respective Party, and shall be responsible for such Party’s general oversight and monitoring of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, including supervision of its respective Project Managers. Any disputes or disagreements that are unresolved by any applicable Project Managers shall be escalated to the Transition Services Managers for attempted resolution in the first instance. A Party may replace its Transition Services Manager at any time and for any reason, and such replacement shall be effective upon written notice to the other Party of such replacement.

(i) Cooperation; Reports. Subject to Section 9, each Party shall cause its employees and, as appropriate, its Affiliates and the employees of its Affiliates, to cooperate in good faith and in a professional and workmanlike manner with employees of the other Party or its Affiliates to the extent necessary for the effective delivery of Transition Services. Upon request, the Receiving Party shall promptly provide the Providing Party with data and reports that are reasonably necessary for the Providing Party to provide the Transition Services to the Receiving Party. All such data provided shall be considered Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 7 below) of the Receiving Party subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement.

E-3

(j) Receiving Affiliate. Buyer and Seller shall each use its best efforts to (i) cause each of its respective Receiving Affiliates at all times to promptly comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all payment, use restrictions and confidentiality obligations, and to promptly and fully perform such Receiving Affiliate’s obligations hereunder, in each case as if such Receiving Affiliate was a Party to this Agreement, and (ii) not permit a default hereunder by or through any of its respective Receiving Affiliates to occur or be continuing hereunder.

3. Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Replace Transition Services. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Transition Services. Accordingly, the Receiving Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace, and cease the use of, the Transition Services to be provided hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof so that the Transition Services are terminated by the end of their designated term pursuant to Section 12. If the Receiving Party does not replace and cease the use of the Transition Services provided to it, then the Providing Party shall have no obligation to continue to provide the Transition Services after the expiration of such Transition Services’ designated terms pursuant to Section 12; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may elect to extend the terms for such Transition Services by an additional three (3) months, subject to a fifteen percent (15%) increase in the amounts payable in respect of such Transition Services pursuant to Section 5 during such three (3) month period. Such election must be made in writing to the Providing Party not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term for such Transition Services.

4. Software and Licenses. If the performance of a Transition Service requires licenses, consents, permits or approvals from third parties not obtained prior to the date of this Agreement, the Providing Party shall have no obligation to perform or arrange for the performance of such Transition Service until such license, consent, or approval is obtained. The Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at no out-of-pocket cost to the Providing Party and at the Receiving Party’s sole expense, any such required licenses, consents and approvals, and shall discuss the need for any modifications to the Transition Services necessary in order to permit the Transition Services to continue to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement pending the receipt of such licenses, consents and approvals. In arranging for such licensing, the Providing Party will cooperate with the Receiving Party’s efforts to reduce such licensing costs including, but not limited to, leveraging and utilizing existing agreements with such third party licensors or services providers. If obtaining any such required license, consent or approval will require the payment of consideration or the incurrence of additional out-of-pocket costs, the Receiving Party shall pay such consideration or costs and the Providing Party shall have no responsibility therefor. In addition, the Receiving Party shall be solely responsible for the cost of all licenses for intellectual property acquired from a third party required to be purchased by the Receiving Party in order to operate its business, and the Providing Party shall have no responsibility therefor. These obligations shall be in addition to any obligations of the Seller contained in the Purchase Agreement to deliver software licenses, consents or approvals to Buyer, and to the extent such obligations are specified, such obligations shall be in addition to the obligations stated herein.

5. Payments, Fees and Costs.

(a) Transition Services. In consideration of the performance by the Providing Party of its respective Transition Services, the respective Receiving Party shall pay monthly, in accordance with Section 5(e):

(i) to the Providing Party, in respect of each Transition Service so performed, the amounts that are specified as payable to the Providing Party in this Agreement (including the applicable Exhibit(s)); plus

E-4

(ii) to the Providing Party, subject to the prior written approval of the Receiving Party, any and all reasonable travel, lodging, meals, mileage and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Providing Party, its consultants or Representatives in connection with the provision of Transition Services (but without duplication to the extent the Receiving Party has already paid such expenses through charges hereunder), except to the extent such expenses are already charged to the Receiving Party through the fee (as indicated in the invoices from the Providing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that if it does not approve such reasonable expenses in connection with the provision of Transition Services, the Providing Party shall be able to terminate the provision of the relevant Transition Services upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice; provided that the Receiving Party shall have an opportunity to cure during such ten (10) Business Day period.

(b) Taxes. The Receiving Party shall pay all applicable sales, use or other Taxes incurred with respect to the sale, performance, provision or delivery of Transition Services. Such Taxes shall be in addition to the other payments or charges provided for in this Agreement. If the Providing Party pays or incurs any Tax in respect of the performance, provision or delivery of any Transition Service, the Providing Party may include such amount in an invoice to the Receiving Party (but without duplication to the extent any other Receiving Party has already paid such expenses through charges hereunder) in respect of such Transition Service.

(i) If there is an increase in the fees and costs imposed by third parties for materials the Providing Party reasonably uses or plans to use in providing the Transition Services, the fees payable by the Receiving Party hereunder shall be increased proportionately to reflect such increase in third party fees and costs. Any such increase will be incorporated into the Transition Service Expenses (as defined in Section 5(e)(i) below) and invoiced and paid pursuant to Section 5(e). The Providing Party will use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid any increases in fees and costs, and will provide prompt written notice of any potential increases to the Receiving Party.

(ii) If there is an increase or change in the volume or quantity of any Transition Services pursuant to Section 2(e)(i), the fees and costs associated with such increase or change, if any, shall be payable by the Receiving Party. Any such increase will be incorporated into the Transition Service Expenses (as defined in Section 5(e)(i) below) and invoiced and paid pursuant to Section 5(e). The Providing Party will use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid any increases in fees and costs, and will provide prompt written notice of any potential increases to the Receiving Party.

(iii) In addition, in the event that the Providing Party reasonably anticipates that it will incur direct or indirect costs (including time spent on the provision of Transition Services) as a result of (A) modifications to the systems or processes that the Providing Party uses or plans to use to provide the Transition Services, or (B) changes to the physical or technical environment or level of trained personnel at the relevant facilities of the Receiving Party, in each case occurring as the result of any act or failure to act of the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with written notice (the “Incremental Cost Notice”) of the nature and amount of any such incremental costs and the Transition Services

E-5

to which they relate as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to incurring such costs; provided, however, that in the case of a change described in clause (B) above, such notice shall only be required if the Receiving Party has complied with the requirements of Section 2(e)(iii) in respect of such change. The Receiving Party shall respond by written notice to the Providing Party within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Incremental Cost Notice if the Receiving Party determines that it does not wish to incur such costs, in which case, unless the Parties otherwise agree, the Providing Party may terminate the provision of the Transition Service(s) to which the incremental costs relate (and any other Transition Services related thereto or dependent thereon) on ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Providing Party. If the Receiving Party does not provide such notice to the Providing Party within such ten (10) Business Day period or if the Receiving Party has not complied with the requirements of Section 2(e)(iii) before making a change described in clause (B) above, then the Providing Party shall be entitled to incur the costs specified in the Incremental Cost Notice and invoice the Receiving Party for the same in accordance with Section 5(e).

(d) Other Incidental Transition Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Receiving Party shall bear any additional costs resulting from: (i) the retention of any consultants necessary for the migration approved by the Receiving Party of any software or other applications to an existing or new platform, or any improvement or modification to such applications made to accommodate the Receiving Party, provided that any such improvements or modifications shall be owned by the Receiving Party and provided further that the Receiving Party shall have previously consented in writing to the terms of retention of any such consultant; (ii) the decision by the Receiving Party to outsource any of its management information system functions to third party application service providers; and (iii) any requirement for additional disk space or increased processing capability in excess of that utilized by or on behalf of the Receiving Party as of the Closing.

(e) Invoicing and Payments.

(i) The Providing Party shall invoice the Receiving Party as follows for Transition Services fees, costs, expenses, liabilities, Losses, and other amounts paid, owed, or required to be paid by the Receiving Party under this Agreement (collectively the “Transition Service Expenses”): an invoice shall be rendered on the 15th day of the month that immediately follows the month in which the applicable Transition Services are to be provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the Transition Service Expenses to be paid, subject to the provisions of Section 5(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Receiving Party elects to extend the Term pursuant to Section 12(b), the fees for all Transition Services shall be equal to 115% of the applicable fees for such Transition Services set forth in the attached Exhibits.

(ii) The Receiving Party shall pay all such invoices no later than thirty (30) days after receipt. For the avoidance of doubt, any Transition Service Expenses invoiced to Buyer or Seller hereunder shall be deemed invoiced to and received by their respective Receiving Parties.

(iii) Outstanding amounts not paid in full in accordance with this Section 5 shall bear interest from the date such payment was due under this Agreement at the rate of the lesser of 0.75% per month or the highest amount permitted to be charged under applicable Law. Any collection of interest with respect to overdue payments shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the remedies at law or equity or otherwise available to the Party to whom such payment is owed.

E-6

(iv) For avoidance of doubt, the Transition Service Expenses shall not include any of the Receiving Party’s accounts payable or be net of any of the Receiving Party’s accounts receivable, that in either case the Providing Party may process on behalf of the Receiving Party pursuant to a provided Transition Service. For clarity:

(1) If, pursuant to the provision of a Transition Service, the Providing Party processes any accounts payable on behalf of the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with the invoice(s) for such accounts payable, and the Receiving Party (x) shall verify the amount(s) stated on such invoice(s), and (y) transfer such amount(s) to the Providing Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds or electronic transmission of immediately available funds, in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt of such invoice(s).

(2) If, pursuant to the provision of a Transition Service, the Providing Party receives payment of any accounts receivable on behalf of the Receiving Party, the Providing Party shall (x) advise the Receiving Party of its receipt of such amount(s), and (y) transfer such amount(s) to the Receiving Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds or electronic transmission of immediately available funds, in each case within a commercially reasonable period following receipt of such amount(s).

(f) Payments to be Electronically Transmitted; Currency. All payments required to be made by the Receiving Party hereunder shall be made by electronic transmission of immediately available funds within the required time to one or more accounts specified by the Providing Party. The Receiving Party agrees to pay each invoice in United States dollars.

(g) Prior Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Providing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with prior written notice of any additional fees or costs not listed in the attached Exhibits that it may incur in connection with the provision of the Transition Services hereunder.

(h) Invoice Dispute Resolution Procedure.

(i) In the event that the Receiving Party believes that an invoice amount is incorrect, the Receiving Party must notify the Providing Party in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) on or before the later of (A) ten (10) Business Days after the Receiving Party’s receipt of the disputed invoice and (B) the date on which the disputed invoice is due. The Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the dispute and the amount in dispute (the “Disputed Amount”). If the Receiving Party does not deliver a Dispute Notice within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5(h)(i), then the invoice shall be deemed to be correct in all respects (subject to the Receiving Party’s rights under Section 5(i)(ii)). The Receiving Party shall be permitted to submit only one Dispute Notice per invoice, and shall timely pay any undisputed portion of such invoice in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

(ii) The Parties shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve their dispute over the Disputed Amount pursuant to this Section 5(h)5(g) as soon as reasonably possible after delivery of a Dispute Notice. Notwithstanding any such dispute resolution efforts, if the Disputed Amount is not paid to the Providing Party within thirty (30) days after the date originally due under Section 5(e)(ii), the Providing Party may, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice, suspend the provision of such Transition Service(s) until payment by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates of such Disputed Amount(s); provided, however, that:

(1) the Providing Party will resume the provision of such suspended Transition Services upon the payment of the Disputed Amount(s), and

E-7

(2) upon the Parties’ written agreement on the proper resolution of the dispute specified by the Dispute Notice and the correct amount due to the Providing Party, the Receiving Party shall promptly pay such amount or, if the Disputed Amount was previously paid to the Providing Party and the correct amount is less than the Disputed Amount, the Providing Party shall apply the difference between the correct amount and the Disputed Amount towards the next invoice.

(iii) If the aggregate Disputed Amounts exceed $500,000, the Providing Party may immediately suspend the provision of all of its Transition Services hereunder until the earlier of (A) resolution of the disputes and payment by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates of all Disputed Amounts agreed by the Parties, and (B) the payment by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates of an amount equal to the portion of the Disputed Amount in excess of $500,000.

(i) Records and Audits.

(i) Records. The Providing Party will maintain (and, as applicable, cause its Affiliates and use commercially reasonable efforts (but no lesser efforts than it used immediately prior to the Closing) to cause its independent contractors to maintain) accurate and complete records regarding its activities relating to this Agreement and the means of calculating the amounts billed to the Receiving Party hereunder. Such books and records will, at all times, be kept in a manner consistent with the Providing Party’s past practices prior to the Closing and, in any event, in accordance with good administrative and secretarial practice and generally accepted accounting principles. The Providing Party will retain (and, as applicable, cause its Affiliates to retain) all such records until two (2) years after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by the Receiving Party.

(ii) Audits. Upon fifteen (15) Business Days notice to the Providing Party, the Receiving Party and its designees will have the right to inspect and audit all the relevant records and books of account of the Providing Party and its Affiliates to verify the accuracy of all payments made or to be made by the Receiving Party pursuant to Section 5. Any audit by the Receiving Party or its designees will be conducted during regular business hours at the facilities of the Providing Party or its Affiliates, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities of the Providing Party or its Affiliates. If any audit reveals an overpayment by the Receiving Party, the Providing Party will promptly refund any overpayment. In addition, if any audit reveals an overpayment by the Receiving Party exceeding ten percent (10%) during the audited period, the Providing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for the costs of conducting the audit. For avoidance of doubt, the audit rights of this Section 5(i)(ii) are solely to verify the arithmetic computation of invoiced amounts and for no other purpose. When visiting the Providing Party’s facilities pursuant to this Section 5(i)(ii), the Receiving Party and its designees shall comply with the Providing Party’s (a) safety, security and other rules applicable to those working at the Providing Party’s facilities and (b) policies concerning access to and security of any premises or computer system to which such Person may have access, in each case, to the extent made known by or as would be reasonably evident to such Person.

E-8

6. Access; Information Technology.

(a) The Receiving Party acknowledges that certain of the Transition Services include access to certain computer networks of the Providing Party (the “Providing Party Computer Network”), and that such access is conditioned upon the Receiving Party’s agreement to the terms set forth in Schedule 2 hereto. The Providing Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to create and maintain the Receiving Party’s access to the Providing Party Computer Network for as long as such access is required to receive and use the Transition Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provision of the Transition Services hereunder may be subject to (i) the installation, configuration, or re-configuration of a firewall and/or one or more network security devices at each of the sites operated by the Receiving Party to protect the Providing Party Computer Network, and (ii) the Providing Party installing, configuring, and re-configuring such firewall or network security device and managing and maintaining the resulting network configuration. The Receiving Party agrees that such installation, configuration and/or re-configuration shall be carried out in accordance with and shall comply with all of the Providing Party’s written requirements and guidelines provided such requirements and guidelines are commercially reasonable and necessary to protect the Providing Party Computer Network and are provided to the Receiving Party in advance. All reasonable costs of installation of such firewalls and network security devices, and all reasonable ongoing costs and expenses of maintaining the firewalls and other network security devices shall be borne by the Receiving Party provided that the Providing Party shall not charge for accessing or utilizing Providing Party Computer Network and shall otherwise only charge the Receiving Party for any actual expense incurred by the Providing Party for third party materials purchased by the Providing Party solely for the benefit of the Receiving Party in accessing the Providing Party Computer Network.

(b) Right to Terminate. The Providing Party reserves the right to terminate those Transition Services relating to the Providing Party Computer Network (and any Transition Service related thereto or dependent thereon) and to terminate the Receiving Party’s access to the Providing Party Computer Network (and any Transition Service related thereto or dependent thereon) in the event the Receiving Party fails to cure any material breach of this Section 6 (including the terms set forth in Schedule 2 hereto) within ten (10) Business Days after written notification to the Receiving Party of such material breach; provided, however, that the Providing Party may temporarily suspend the Receiving Party’s access to the Providing Party Computer Network without such notice in the event such material breach damages, injures or poses an imminent risk to the integrity or operations of the Providing Party Computer Network. The Providing Party shall be under no obligation to reinstate either the Receiving Party’s Transition Services related to the Providing Party Computer Network or the Receiving Party’s access to the Providing Party Computer Network following any such material breach and failure to cure until such material breach has been cured in a manner reasonably expected to prevent a recurrence of such material breach.

7. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Party agrees and acknowledges that, during the Term of this Agreement, the other Party hereto may have access to, or a Party (the “Discloser”) may be required to disclose to the other Party (the “Recipient”), certain confidential information, data, records, files, archives and other proprietary information, whether oral or written, concerning, among other things, third party materials or the Discloser’s inventions, know-how, customer lists, suppler lists, pricing, patent and trade secrets, software, distribution and other general business information (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”). Each Party further agrees and acknowledges that all Proprietary Information of the Discloser or its Affiliates, customers, suppliers or independent contractors generated, produced or stored by a Party or any third party in connection with the provision of Transition Services or the performance of this Agreement shall be the Proprietary Information of the Discloser, and that all information relating to

E-9

the same and other information related to the historical and current operations of the Discloser is the Proprietary Information of the Discloser. Proprietary Information shall remain the sole property of the Discloser and the other Party shall have no interest in or rights with respect to such Proprietary Information.

(b) Protection. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after the termination or expiration hereof, and, in respect of Proprietary Information that constitutes computer source code, for an indefinite period, each Party agrees, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, service providers, independent contractors and Representatives, to protect the confidentiality of the other Party’s Proprietary Information with the same degree of care that it utilizes with respect to its own similar confidential and proprietary information, but in any event, no less than reasonable care, including:

(i) not to disclose or copy, display, loan, publish, transfer (whether by sale, operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise disseminate or allow access to the Proprietary Information, in whole or in part, in any form whatsoever, to or by any third party without the prior written consent of the Discloser, except that such disclosure or access shall be permitted with respect to an employee or independent contractor requiring access to the Proprietary Information in the course of his or her employment or provision of Transition Services to the Recipient, provided, however, that such employee or independent contractor is subject to confidentiality obligations substantially similar and in no event less restrictive than as set forth in this Section 7;

(ii) to notify the Discloser promptly and in writing of the circumstances surrounding any suspected possession, use, disclosure or knowledge of the Proprietary Information or any part thereof at any location or by any person or entity other than those authorized by this Agreement and to take further steps as may reasonably be requested by the Discloser to remedy any such possession, use or disclosure; and

(iii) upon the Discloser’s request, to promptly return to Discloser or destroy all documents and materials in tangible form, and permanently erase all data in electronic form, containing any Proprietary Information, and certify in writing signed by an officer of Recipient that Recipient has fully complied with this obligation (except that the Recipient’s legal counsel may retain one copy of such information in their offices for record-keeping purposes only).

(c) Use. A Party shall not use, nor permit the use of, a Discloser’s Proprietary Information for any purpose other than in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

(d) Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 7 shall restrict the Parties with respect to confidential information, data, records, files, archives or other proprietary information, whether or not identical or similar to that contained in the Proprietary Information, if such confidential information, data, records, files, archives or other proprietary information: (i) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to the Discloser’s Proprietary Information (and Recipient shall provide the Discloser with reasonably satisfactory evidence of such independent development); (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of any act or default of, or disclosure by, the Recipient; (iii) becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Discloser or its Affiliates, Representatives or independent contractors, provided such source is entitled to disclose such information to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis; (iv) was known by the Recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to the disclosure thereof to the Recipient by the Discloser; or (v) is

E-10

required by Law to be disclosed; provided, however, that as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving notice of any such required disclosure and to the extent that it may legally do so, the Recipient advises the Discloser of the same, and prior to making any such disclosure, takes commercially reasonable actions to assure the confidential handling of the Proprietary Information, including, to the extent permissible and practicable, affording the Discloser a reasonable period of time to seek a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of the Proprietary Information, if allowed by applicable Law and cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

(e) Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy if there were a breach by such party of obligations under this Section 7. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that equitable relief, including injunctive relief, may be appropriate to protect the non-breaching Party’s rights and interests if such a breach were to arise, be threatened, or be asserted, and the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek the entry of an order for immediate injunctive relief.

(f) Trade Secrets. The Parties agree that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Party shall disclose to the other Party any of its trade secrets or have any rights in or to any of the other Party’s trade secrets. To the extent a Providing Party determines that it is necessary to disclose any trade secrets to the Receiving Party in order for the Providing Party to perform or the Receiving Party to receive any Transition Services (such Transition Services, the “Dependent Transition Services”) as set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall mutually agree in writing on the reasonable terms and conditions of such disclosure and the Receiving Party’s obligations with respect to such trade secrets. Until the Parties are able to mutually agree on such reasonable terms and conditions, the Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Dependent Transition Services without disclosing such trade secrets, but shall not be liable for any failure by it to perform or any failure by the Receiving Party to receive the Dependent Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement (or Losses that result therefrom) that results from the non-disclosure of such trade secrets.

8. Compliance With Third Party Agreements. In the event that Buyer or Seller or any of its respective Affiliates arranges for a Transition Service to be provided to the Receiving Party by an Affiliate or a third party service provider, the Receiving Party shall at all times comply with the material terms of the Providing Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) agreements with such Affiliate or third party service provider (each, a “Third Party Agreement”), to the extent such Third Party Agreements are applicable to the Transition Services, as if the Receiving Party was party thereto, including without limitation all use restrictions and confidentiality obligations; provided that the Receiving Party shall be provided with a reasonably detailed summary of all material terms of such Third Party Agreement with which such Receiving Party is required to comply. In the event that the Receiving Party fails to meet its obligations under the preceding sentence of this Section 8 as to the terms of a Third Party Agreement, the Providing Party may provide the Receiving Party with written notice of its intention to terminate all Transition Services that are provided to the Receiving Party under such Third Party Agreement. In the event that such Third Party Agreement provides for a cure period and the Receiving Party does not cure its or any of its applicable Affiliate’s failure to meet its obligations under such Third Party Agreement within the cure period provided for in such Third Party Agreement, the Providing Party shall be entitled to terminate all Transition Services that are provided to the Receiving Party under such Third Party Agreement, and any Transition Services related thereto or dependent thereon.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE TRANSITION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO EACH RECEIVING PARTY “AS-IS.” NEITHER BUYER NOR SELLER, NOR

E-11

ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE TRANSITION SERVICES IT PROVIDES. THE PROVIDING PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW.

10. Access to Facilities to Provide Services and Remove Equipment. In connection with the provision of Transition Services, the Receiving Party shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, the Providing Party, and their respective employees, vendors and independent contractors, to have reasonable access to the facilities of the Receiving Party to the extent required to provide the Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In further connection with the provision of the Transition Services, Receiving Party shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, Seller, its Affiliates and any service providers, and their respective employees, vendors and independent contractors, to remove the property of Providing Party, its Affiliates and any service providers from Receiving Party’s facilities. When visiting the Receiving Party’s facilities pursuant to this Agreement, the Providing Party shall cause its respective employees, vendors and independent contractors to comply with the Receiving Party’s (a) safety, security and other rules applicable to those working at the Receiving Party’s facilities and (b) policies concerning access to and security of any premises or computer system to which such Person may have access, in each case, to the extent made known by or as would be reasonably evident to such employee, vendor or independent contractor.

11. Insurance. Each Party shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, maintain insurance covering all risks for which insurance applicable to the Transition Services is customarily maintained for businesses similar to the businesses of each Party, including, without limitation, all risks to and from the property and employees of such Party and its Affiliates.

12. Term; Termination.

(a) Unless terminated earlier or extended in accordance with this Section 12, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of the Closing Date and shall expire twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) if an earlier termination date for a Transition Service is set forth in an Exhibit or another Section of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Transition Service shall terminate on such earlier termination date, and (ii) this Agreement is not otherwise earlier terminated pursuant to its terms.

(b) Subject to Sections 3 and 5(e), the Receiving Party may elect to extend the term of any Transition Services or the Term of this Agreement by an additional three (3) months, subject to a fifteen percent (15%) increase in the amounts payable in respect of such Transition Services pursuant to Section 5 during such three (3) month period. Such election must be made in writing to the Providing Party not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term for such Transition Services or the Term of this Agreement, as applicable.

(c) This Agreement, or specific Transition Services provided hereunder, may be terminated before the completion of the Term:

(i) by mutual agreement of the Parties;

(ii) by the Providing Party as expressly set forth in this Agreement;

E-12

(iii) by the Providing Party, on the one hand, or the Receiving Party, on the other hand, for material breach by the other of any of the terms hereof if such material breach is not cured within forty-five (45) days after written notice of such breach is delivered to the breaching Party (and if the Providing Party is an Affiliate of Seller or service provider of Seller, such written notice will be delivered to Seller by the applicable Buyer Receiving Party);

(iv) by the Providing Party, on the one hand, or the Receiving Party, on the other hand, in the event of the filing by or against the other Party of a petition in bankruptcy, or the appointment of a receiver of such other Party or any substantial portion of such other Party’s assets, or any proceeding or reorganization for the benefit of the other Party’s creditors, or upon the other Party becoming insolvent; or

(v) with respect to any or all Transition Service(s) and except as may otherwise be noted in the attached Exhibits, by the Receiving Party for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. Such termination will be effective upon the later of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is received by the Providing Party, or (ii) if such written notice is given later than the first day of any calendar month, the end of the second full calendar month after such notice is given (for illustrative purposes only, a termination notice delivered under this Section 12(c)(v) on June 15, 2011, shall be effective on August 31, 2011).

(d) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or particular Transition Services hereunder, the Parties shall have no further obligations hereunder or with respect to such particular Transition Services; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no obligation of a Party accruing hereunder prior to such expiration or termination shall be terminated or otherwise relieved and the rights and obligations of the Parties under Sections 5 (except for the audit rights under Section 5(i)(ii), which shall only survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for six (6) months), 7, 9, 10 (but solely with respect to the removal of property), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 and all of the Receiving Party’s payment obligations with respect to any accrued but unpaid amounts owed hereunder subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or termination hereof.

(e) In addition, in the event that the Providing Party terminates this Agreement or any of the Transition Services provided hereunder as set forth in clauses (c)(ii), (c)(iii), or (c)(iv) of this Section 12, or if the Receiving Party terminates this Agreement or any of the Transition Services provided hereunder as set forth in (c)(v) of this Section 12, then the Receiving Party shall pay any and all costs, expenses, penalties, interest and the like imposed on or incurred by the Providing Party by third parties in connection with such termination.

(f) (i) The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain Transition Services are reliant on other Transition Services, such that the extension, suspension, termination or expiration of one such Transition Service (any such event, a “Trigger Event”) would affect a Providing Party’s ability to provide the related Transition Services. Each group of related Transition Services is identified on the Exhibits attached hereto by a particular “bucket”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree in writing after evaluating the totality of the Transition Services included in a particular bucket at the time of a Trigger Event, the occurrence of such a Trigger Event with respect to a particular Transition Service as provided herein shall also result in the automatic and concurrent extension, suspension, termination or expiration, as applicable, of all other Transition Services included in the same bucket (the “Triggered Transition Services”).

E-13

(ii) If the Parties mutually agree in writing that the effect of a Trigger Event described in Section 12(f)(i) on the Triggered Transition Services can be limited to one or more specific regions, countries, or locations, then the Parties may mutually agree in writing to limit the effect of such Trigger Event on the Triggered Transition Services to such specific regions, countries, or locations.

13. Limitation of Liability.

(a) NEITHER THE PROVIDING PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE RECEIVING PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, COMPENSATORY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE APPLICABLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROVIDING PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR OTHERWISE THAT EXCEED THE SUM OF THE AMOUNT PAID AND THE AMOUNT PAYABLE FOR THE TRANSITION SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE RECEIVING PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CHARGES FOR THE TRANSITION SERVICES IT RECEIVES AND THE RESOURCES PROVIDED HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN CONTEMPLATION OF THE FOREGOING ALLOCATION OF RISK.

(c) THE WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN CLAUSES (a) AND (b) ABOVE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM (1) BREACHES OF THE NON-USE AND NON-DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS OF SECTION 7 ABOVE, OR (2) A PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

14. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Providing Party, and its Representatives, successors and assigns (the “Providing Party Indemnitees”), from and against and in respect of any and all Losses, which the Providing Party Indemnitees suffer as a result of third party claims relating to or arising out of: (i) the performance by the Providing Party of any Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement, other than to the extent such Losses are the result of (A) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Providing Party or its Representatives or independent contractor in the performance of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement, or (B) a material breach of this Agreement by the Providing Party or its Affiliates, Representatives or independent contractors; (ii) any material breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, Representatives or independent contractors, it being acknowledged and agreed that the failure to pay any amounts due hereunder within the time required hereunder for such payment shall be deemed to be a material breach; or (iii) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Indemnification by the Providing Party. The Providing Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Receiving Party, and its respective Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Receiving Party Indemnitees”), from and against and in respect of any and

E-14

all Losses, which the Receiving Party Indemnitees suffer as a result of third party claims relating to or arising out of: (i) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Providing Party in the performance of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement; or (ii) any material breach of this Agreement by the Providing Party or its Affiliates, Representatives or independent contractors. Except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 14(b) above, the Providing Party shall have no liability whatsoever to any Receiving Party Indemnitees for any error, act or omission in connection with the Transition Services to be rendered hereunder, and the Providing Party’s sole responsibility to the Receiving Party Indemnitees with respect to any error, act or omission in connection with the Transition Services shall be as follows: (A) in the event of the Providing Party’s error or omission in connection with the Transition Services, to furnish correct information and to provide any necessary adjustment in the Transition Services at no additional cost or expense to the Receiving Party or its Affiliates; and (B) in the event of the Providing Party’s failure to deliver any Transition Service because of a force majeure, to use reasonable efforts to make the Transition Services available and/or to resume performing the Transition Services as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(c) Indemnification Process. The Party seeking indemnification under this Section 14 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide prompt written notice of such claim to other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known) and the alleged basis thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party, unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 14(c), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense and/or settlement of any such claim. The Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees that the Indemnified Party has the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any claim for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under this Section 14. The Indemnifying Party may not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent: (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such commenced or threatened claim; and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party.

(d) Indemnification Payment. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 14 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to an account designated by each applicable Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the determination thereof.

(e) General. No right of indemnification shall exist under this Agreement with respect to matters for which indemnification may reasonably be claimed under the Purchase Agreement, it being the intent of the Parties that claims that are addressed under the Purchase Agreement shall be governed solely by the Purchase Agreement. No right of indemnification shall exist under the Purchase Agreement for claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement, it being the intent of the Parties that such claims shall be solely governed by the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim for indemnification made under this Agreement shall be denied solely based on the preceding two sentences if such claim was initially brought under the Purchase Agreement and denied because the subject matter of such claim was reasonably believed to be covered under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

15. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall have any liability for Losses under this Agreement relating to, arising from or in connection with a delay in performance or a failure to perform caused by force majeure, that is due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected thereby, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fires, floods,

E-15

inclement weather, epidemics, accidents, quarantine restrictions, war, terrorist acts, riots, demonstrations, strikes, lock-outs, labor disputes, labor shortages, sabotage, disruption of Internet access or the Providing Party Computer Network beyond the reasonable control of the Party providing such performance, whether as a result of any virus, worm, Trojan Horse, malware or other malicious or unauthorized code, accidents with respect to machinery or equipment, governmental action or inaction, order or restraints of governmental or other competent authorities, unavoidable delay in obtaining necessary materials, facilities or equipment in the open market caused by third parties, and delays in transportation caused by third parties; provided, however, that the Party affected by such force majeure event uses diligent efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other Party in writing of the circumstances causing the delay or non-performance and resumes performance as soon as reasonably possible, and provided further that the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on 30 days’ prior written notice to the affected Party if the force majeure event continues unabated for a period of 90 days.

(a) Further Assurances. If any further action is necessary, proper or desirable to carry out any purpose of this Agreement, then each Party hereto will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of further documents) as the other Party hereto reasonably requests to carry out such purpose. The foregoing will be at the expense of such requesting Party, except to the extent such requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor or to the extent this Agreement otherwise allocates such expense to any other Party.

(b) No Solicitation; No Hire. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, neither Party shall solicit, offer employment to or hire any employee of the other Party or its Affiliates who has or had been involved in the provision of Transition Services or performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Party shall be prohibited from (i) initiating searches for employees through the use of general advertisement or through the engagement of firms to conduct searches that are not targeted or focused on the employees of the other Party (and the hiring of employees that respond to any such searches) or (ii) hiring any such employee not employed by the other Party at the time of solicitation.

(c) Independent Contractor Status. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a single employer, joint employer, co-employer, alter-ego, agency, partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between the Providing Party or any of the Providing Party’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Receiving Party or any of the Receiving Party’s Affiliates, on the other hand. Each Providing Party is acting pursuant to this Agreement solely as an independent contractor.

(d) No Right of Set-off. All payments to be made by any Party under this Agreement shall be made free of any set-off and shall be promptly remitted to the Party entitled to receive payments hereunder.

(e) No Implied Assignments or Licenses. Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as an assignment or grant of any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property.

(f) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(g) Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Sections 2, 8, and 14, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

(h) Limitation on Actions. Any action, claim, suit, litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be commenced within one (1) year after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Term including any extensions thereof, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

E-17

(i) No Waiver by Conduct; Waiver. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party hereto of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a Party hereto to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

(j) Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

(k) Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the laws of the State of Delaware.

(l) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17(l).

(m) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any state appellate court therefrom; (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such Delaware Chancery or state appellate court;

E-18

and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such Delaware Chancery or state appellate court. Each Party agrees that (i) this Agreement involves at least $100,000.00 and (ii) this Agreement has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(n) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile, ..pdf or email), each of which when executed shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(p) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto and supersede all other prior covenants, agreements, undertakings, obligations, promises, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, by any Party hereto or by any director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate or Representative of any Party hereto.

(q) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties hereto. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby.

(r) Notice. All notices and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if personally delivered; when transmitted if transmitted by telecopy; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express); and five (5) Business Days after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Exhibit F

FORM OF SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of , 2012 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, through its Label and Packaging Materials division (“Supplier”), on behalf of itself and any Affiliates, and 3M Company, a Delaware corporation (“Customer”), on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates. Supplier and Customer are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined where first used shall have the meanings given such terms in Section 1 below.

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, Supplier is in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling the pressure sensitive label stock products subject to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Customer has acquired the office and consumer products business from Affiliates of Supplier (the “Acquired Business”) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated December 21, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and desires to purchase from Supplier, and Supplier is willing to manufacture and sell to Customer, the Products; and

WHEREAS, the Parties deem it desirable to establish the terms and conditions that shall govern the sale by Supplier and the purchase by Customer of such Products.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.	DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement:

1.1 “Affiliate” of a Party means any person or entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Party, where “control” means ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities or other interests having voting rights with respect to the election of the board of directors or similar governing authority (but only as long as such person or entity meets these requirements).

1.2 “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public, confidential or proprietary information related to the business of a Party, which may include trade secrets, technical information, product information, business forecasts and strategies, marketing plans, customer and supplier lists, personnel information, financial data, know-how, designs, formulas, calculations, algorithms, test results, studies, manuals, documentation, processes, reports, and proprietary information of third parties provided to such Party in confidence.

1.3 “Contract Year” shall mean the one (1) year period beginning on the Effective Date and each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term.

F-1

1.4 “Damages” means any claims, actions, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and court costs). For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise limited by Section 7.4(b), “Damages” includes all damages that are incurred by a Party, including direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary, and all other types of damages.

2.	PRODUCTS

2.1 Purchase and Sale of Products. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Customer shall purchase from Supplier and Supplier shall supply to Customer the Products pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The scope of this

F-4

Agreement is limited to pressure sensitive label stock Products that Customer uses to produce products for the Acquired Business. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing on a Product by Product basis, this Agreement does not apply to pressure sensitive label stock products (i) that are used to produce other products of Customer or its Affiliates (including labels and other printable media sold under Customer’s or its Affiliates’ trademarks or names that were not part of the Acquired Business) and (ii) that use or incorporate Customer’s or its Affiliates’ intellectual property that was not part of the Acquired Business (collectively, “Excluded Products”); provided that nothing in this sentence limits Section 2.2(f) or Customer’s rights thereunder. The Existing Products constitute all of the pressure sensitive label stock products sold by Supplier to the Avery Dennison Office and Consumer Products Group as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and as of the Effective Date, and the Parties will update Exhibit A by mutual agreement as necessary to reflect any changes to the Existing Products and Exclusive Components that occur prior to or after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Exhibit A be updated or modified so that the status of an Existing Exclusive Product, Other Existing Product or Exclusive Component is changed without the prior written consent of Customer.

(a) Subject to Section 3.2, during the Initial Term, Customer shall purchase from Supplier not less than the following amounts of Products, cumulatively and in any assortment, for each of the indicated Contract Years: (i) sixty million dollars ($60,000,000) for the first Contract Year; (ii) one hundred and twenty million dollars ($120,000,000), cumulative with purchases in the first Contract Year, for the second Contract Year; and (iii) one hundred and eighty million dollars ($180,000,000), cumulative with purchases in the first and second Contract Years, for the third Contract Year (each such cumulative amount during the Initial Term, the “Minimum Purchase Amount”). If Customer does not purchase at least the applicable Minimum Purchase Amount by the last day of each applicable Contract Year, Customer shall pay to Supplier not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable Contract Year the amount equal to (A) (1) the Minimum Purchase Amount applicable to such Contract Year minus (2) the amount of Products purchased by Customer from Supplier for the applicable Contract Year(s) included in calculating such Minimum Purchase Amount, multiplied by (B) 0.25 (such amount, the “Minimum Payment”); provided that, if Customer makes a Minimum Payment, Customer shall be deemed to have purchased Products in the amount of the Minimum Purchase Amount applicable to such Contract Year for the purpose of calculating future Minimum Purchase Amounts. A “purchase” shall be deemed to occur on the shipment date for the applicable Products. Any purchases of Substitute Products made from third parties as permitted by this Agreement in Section 3.2 only may be applied by Customer against the Minimum Purchase Amount upon reasonable written proof submitted by Customer to Supplier. There shall be no Minimum Purchase Amount for the Renewal Terms.

(b) Supplier shall not, without Customer’s prior written consent, modify any Product, whether Existing Product or Replacement Product, to contain any intellectual property owned by Supplier or any Affiliate thereof not previously contained in that Product as originally supplied to Customer; provided, however, that Customer shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent in the event that such a modification is necessary or commercially reasonable in order to comply with applicable law, resolve a Product defect or cause a Product that is infringing intellectual property rights to no longer be infringing.

F-5

2.2 Exclusivity for Products Sold to Customer.

(a) Provided that Customer has purchased the Minimum Purchase Amount or timely paid any difference owing as provided in Section 2.1(a), during the Initial Term, (i) the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products, and any Exclusive Components and any subsequent Replacement Components, shall be supplied exclusively to Customer, (ii) the Other Existing Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products shall be supplied exclusively to Customer for the OCP Field, and (iii) other pressure sensitive constructions, sold by Supplier or its Affiliates, convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products and the Other Existing Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products), if sold into the OCP Field, shall be sold exclusively to Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, Supplier may supply the Other Existing Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products and other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products) to anyone other than Customer, for use outside the OCP Field, subject to Section 2.2(f).

(b) During each Renewal Term, (i) the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products, and any Exclusive Components and subsequent Replacement Components, shall be supplied exclusively to Customer for the OCP Field, and (ii) other pressure sensitive constructions, sold by Supplier or its Affiliates, convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products and the Other Existing Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products), if sold into the OCP Field, shall be sold exclusively to Customer. The exclusivity during the Renewal Term shall be limited to the OCP Field and Supplier may supply Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products or any Exclusive Components and subsequent Replacement Components and other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels to anyone other than Customer for use outside the OCP Field, subject to Section 2.2(f).

(c) After the Initial Term, the Other Existing Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products shall be supplied on a non-exclusive basis to Customer.

(d) Supplier’s exclusivity obligations shall apply worldwide. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusivity applies to the pressure sensitive laminate construction as a whole, and not the individual components such as the adhesive, face stock and liner other than the components expressly designated as Exclusive Components on Exhibit A.

(e) In the event that Customer fails to purchase the Minimum Purchase Amount for any Contract Year during the Initial Term or pay Supplier the Minimum Payment within the time specified in Section 2.1(a), Supplier shall have the right to terminate Customer’s exclusivity with respect to the Exclusive Products and other pressure sensitive

F-6

constructions convertible into labels upon not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to Customer after Customer has failed to purchase the Minimum Purchase Amount or pay Supplier the Minimum Payment within the periods specified in this sentence; provided that Customer may cure the failure to pay Supplier the Minimum Payment during such thirty (30) day period.

(f) Should Supplier become aware of any sales of Products or Exclusive Components made by an Affiliate, converter or customer for sale or distribution in the OCP Channels, it shall immediately cease the sale of such Product or Exclusive Components to that Affiliate, converter or other customer, and immediately (except to the extent that applicable law requires a period of notice prior to termination) inform such Affiliate, converter or other customer that it must immediately cease the manufacture, conversion, distribution, marketing and sale of such Products or Exclusive Components for sale or distribution in the OCP Channels. Also, should Supplier become aware of any sales of New Products or other pressure sensitive constructions, sold by Supplier or its Affiliates, convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products) made by an Affiliate, converter or customer for sale or distribution into the OCP Field, it shall immediately cease the sale of such New Products and such other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products) to that Affiliate, converter or other customer, and immediately (except to the extent that applicable law requires a period of notice prior to termination) inform such Affiliate, converter or other customer that it must immediately cease the manufacture, conversion, distribution, marketing and sale of such New Products and such other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels (other than the Existing Exclusive Products and any subsequent Replacement Products for those Products) for sale or distribution into the OCP Field. Supplier shall also immediately advise Customer of any such sales described in this Section 2.2(f) and take such other commercially reasonable steps as Customer may request or require to implement the intent of this Agreement. If this Agreement terminates at the end of the Initial Term, and provided that Customer has purchased the Minimum Purchase Amount or timely paid any difference owing as provided in Section 2.1(a), Seller’s obligation in Section 2.2(f) of this Agreement continues for a period of two (2) years after the Initial Term, but only for Existing Exclusive Products (including Replacement Products for Existing Exclusive Products), Exclusive Components (including Replacement Components for Exclusive Components), New Products (including Replacement Products for New Products) and other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels. If this Agreement terminates at the end of the first Renewal Term, and provided that Customer has purchased the Minimum Purchase Amount or timely paid any difference owing as provided in Section 2.1(a), Seller’s obligation in Section 2.2(f) of this Agreement continues for a period of one (1) year after the first Renewal Term, but only for Existing Exclusive Products (including Replacement Products for Existing Exclusive Products), Exclusive Components (including Replacement Components for Exclusive Components), New Products (including Replacement Products for New Products) and other pressure sensitive constructions convertible into labels.

F-7

2.3 Grant of Intellectual Property Rights. During the Term of this Agreement, Customer hereby grants to Supplier and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, world wide, royalty free right and license under any intellectual property owned by Customer that was part of the Acquired Business solely for the purposes of manufacturing and selling the Products to Customer and its Affiliates under this Agreement. Customer also covenants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, not to bring any action or other proceeding for infringement or other violation of any intellectual property owned by Customer with respect to any Products manufactured and sold by Supplier or its Affiliates to Customer or its Affiliates during the Term of this Agreement. For an abundance of clarity, the foregoing sentence does not apply to manufacture or sale by Supplier of any Products for or to any third party.

2.4 Engineering Change. “Engineering Change” is a material or process change that affects a Product’s safety, performance, cost, reliability or appearance. Unless the Product Specifications for a Product provide a more stringent communication process, either Party may request an Engineering Change, but it will occur only if the Parties agree in writing as to any resulting Product Specification changes, cost savings or other outcomes, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

2.5 New Products. New Products shall not be “Products” for the purposes of this Agreement. In the event that Supplier desires to supply a New Product to Customer, and Customer desires to purchase a New Product from Supplier, then the Parties shall enter into a separate agreement with respect to the development and/or purchase and sale of such New Products. Neither Party has any obligation to bring a New Product to the other Party for its consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term, provided that Customer has purchased the Minimum Purchase Amount or timely paid any difference owing as provided in Section 2.1(a), Supplier agrees that it will not sell or distribute any New Products (including Replacement Products for New Products) into the OCP Field to anyone other than Customer.

3.	FORECASTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS

3.1 Forecasts. An initial twelve (12) month forecast (“Forecast”) of the amount of each Product that Customer will require in each month of such 12-month period is attached hereto as Exhibit D-1. The Forecast shall be by region (e.g. North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America), as specified by Supplier (each a “Region”). The Forecast shall be updated by Customer on a rolling quarterly basis, not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of each calendar quarter. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide accurate and consistent updated Forecasts for each Product per Region. The Parties agree that Forecasts for Products other than the Exclusive Products are provided for convenience and planning purposes only, and shall not be binding upon either Party. With respect to the Exclusive Products, Customer shall be required to purchase at least the quantity of Products for each month specified in the Forecast that was delivered in the quarter immediately preceding such month. Attached as Exhibit D-1 is a listing of the amount of Products produced by Supplier for the Acquired Business in 2010 and 2011 (year to date). During the Initial Term, Supplier agrees to provide Customer with monthly written reports on the inventory of materials on-hand related to Exclusive Products.

F-8

3.2 Capacity Commitment; Service Level Agreement; Failure to Supply. Supplier covenants and warrants that during the Initial Term it will have the capacity to deliver to Customer at least the quantity of Products indicated in Exhibit D-2 during each calendar year of the Initial Term (the “Capacity Commitment”). Supplier agrees that during the Term it will meet the service levels set forth in Exhibit D-3 during each calendar year of the Term (the “Service Level Commitment”). If Supplier fails to meet the Capacity Commitment or the Service Level Commitment, fails to supply for a Force Majeure Event, or refuses to supply Products (including a Willful Refusal to Supply), and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days for a Capacity Commitment or Service Level Commitment failure, or within ten (10) business days for a Force Majeure Event or refusal to supply Products (including a Willful Refusal to Supply), Customer shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies permitted by this Agreement, to purchase substitute products that are substantially similar to the Products from third parties on a commercially reasonable basis (“Substitute Products”), but for not longer than one hundred and twenty (120) days after such failure, Force Majeure Event or refusal to supply (other than a Willful Refusal to Supply) is cured or for such shorter period as termination is permitted in any commercially reasonable contract for Substitute Products entered into by Customer during such failure, Force Majeure Event or refusal to supply (other than a Willful Refusal to Supply); provided that in the event of a Willful Refusal of Supply, in addition to any other remedies Customer may have under this Agreement, Customer has no obligation to purchase the Products subject to such Willful Refusal to Supply from Supplier after such refusal is cured.

3.3 Purchase Orders. All Purchase Orders must be in writing and in the form mutually agreed to from time to time by Supplier and Customer. Purchase Orders shall be sent by facsimile or by email designated by Region from time to time by written notice from Supplier to Customer. Each Purchase Order shall include (i) a description of each type of Product ordered (Product Specification, width and length), (ii) the quantity ordered, (iii) the applicable unit price for such Products, (iv) the delivery date, and (v) point of delivery.

3.4 Acceptance. All Purchase Orders are subject to acceptance by Supplier. Supplier is deemed to have accepted any: (a) Purchase Order within the Capacity Commitment or current Forecast; and (b) other Purchase Order in excess of the Capacity Commitment or Forecast, unless Supplier cannot meet that Purchase Order’s terms and Supplier rightfully rejects that Purchase Order in writing within three (3) business days after the receipt of the Purchase Order. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet all Purchase Orders that are in excess of the Forecast and Capacity Commitment, but if Supplier cannot meet such Purchase Orders under clause (b) of this Section, Customer may purchase Substitute Products from third parties with respect to such Purchase Orders. The purchase of Substitute Products under this Section 3.4 shall not be deducted or otherwise applied against the Minimum Purchase Amount. If Customer submits a Purchase Order for a quantity of Products that substantially exceeds the greater of the Capacity Commitment or Forecast and Customer does not purchase Substitute Products from third parties, the Parties will mutually agree to a reasonable delivery date for such excess Products.

3.5 Cancellation. Purchase Orders, once accepted by Supplier, cannot be cancelled except as expressly provided in this Section 3.5. Stock orders can be cancelled at

F-9

any time prior to slitting. Custom orders can be cancelled before coating at Supplier’s reasonable discretion. Supplier will generally agree to cancellation in situations where Seller has not incurred costs for materials purchased, or performed any value added work and/or reserved any capacity or if Customer agrees to terms that will fully compensate Supplier for costs incurred prior to the cancellation.

3.6 Conflicting Terms. If any Purchase Order, acknowledgement, quotation or other purchasing document issued by either Party includes terms or conditions that are inconsistent with or conflict with any terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement) or the applicable Product Description Form, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Product Description Form shall control, unless an authorized officer of each Party has expressly agreed in a separate writing to such inconsistent and/or conflicting terms.

4.	DELIVERY

4.1 Shipment. Supplier reserves the right to specify the routing of shipments. Supplier shall ship within the time specified on the Purchase Order, if within the Lead Times indicated in Exhibit D-3, and if not, within a reasonable period of time. Unless specified in the Purchase Order, freight charges shall be prepaid and billed. If Customer specifies a carrier that is not a Supplier-approved carrier, the shipment will be made on a “Freight Collect” basis.

4.2 Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss for all Products shall pass to Customer upon delivery by Supplier to a common carrier at Supplier’s shipping dock, regardless of freight terms or method of payment for transportation charges. Customer is responsible for filing all loss or damage claims with the carrier. Supplier is not responsible for any damage or shortage on collect shipment.

4.3 Claims. All claims relating to delivery shall be sent to Supplier’s designated claim representative and must be accompanied by: (i) a copy of freight bill with notation of damage or shortage, the date and time of receipt, and the name of receiver, (ii) a photograph of the damaged goods and (iii) a copy of the inspection report. Customer should retain a copy of the claim for its files.

4.4 Returns. All Products are returnable only in accordance with the warranty provisions in Section 6.1. Before returning any Product, Customer must obtain prior written approval and instructions from Supplier. Supplier’s approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

4.5 Imports to United States. If any Products will be shipped from another country into the United States, Supplier must secure its facilities and all of its shipments made to Customer and Customer designated sites in accordance with then-current U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) security guidelines. If Customer is the importer of record for specific shipments, Supplier must provide Customer and must ensure that its logistics providers also provide Customer all necessary shipping data to satisfy security, notification and other regulatory requirements applicable at the time of delivery,

F-10

including the U.S. Importer Security Filing (“ISF”) requirements. This shipping data must be provided to Customer in sufficient time before Products are delivered to the carrier to complete the applicable requirements and in the case of ocean freight no less than three business days prior to delivery of Products to the carrier. Current C-TPAT and ISF requirements can be found on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website (www.cbp.gov).

5.	PRICES AND PAYMENT

5.1 Prices. The initial prices for Existing Products shall be as set forth in Exhibit A, as such Exhibit is updated on the Effective Date to reflect the prices in effect on the Effective Date (such prices to be adjusted between the signing of the Purchase Agreement and the Effective Date in accordance with Section 5.3). Subject to Section 5.4, the initial prices for Replacement Products shall be as specified in the applicable Product Description Form. Prices in the U.S. are F.O.B. Supplier’s plant or distribution center of origin, no freight allowed, and FCA (Incoterms 2010) Supplier’s plant or distribution center of origin for international orders. Freight rates are based on actual incurred freight costs or Customer’s specific schedule. Prices shall be those in effect on the “Ship Date” noted on the face of the Purchase Order. Purchase Orders calling for future delivery shall be billed at prices in effect on the shipping date. Stock and custom orders can be combined to achieve lower freight rates when possible. Unless stated otherwise on Supplier’s price list or the applicable Product Description Forms, different Products on an order may not be combined to obtain quantity pricing.

5.2 Invoices. Supplier shall include an invoice with each shipment of Products delivered to Customer hereunder. Each invoice will include: (i) the applicable order number; (ii) a description of the delivered Products; (iii) unit prices for each delivered Product; and (iv) total invoice price. Invoices will be denominated in the currency designated by Supplier’s selling entity providing the Product.

5.3 Adjustment of Prices. Prices for Products will be firm for six (6) months from the Effective Date. Thereafter, prices for all Products will be adjusted, up or down, in an amount equal to changes to Supplier’s costs for materials; provided, however (i) prices will only be adjusted if the change to materials costs is greater than two and one-half percent (2.5%) and (ii) only one such adjustment may be made in any six (6) month period. Price adjustments will take effect thirty (30) days after written notice to Customer of such adjustments. Supplier shall provide Customer with reasonably detailed information supporting any price adjustment. If Customer is not satisfied with the information provided by Supplier, Customer shall have the right to have an independent third party public accounting firm selected by Customer audit the proposed price adjustment. The price adjustment will be modified as determined by the independent third party public accounting firm retroactive to the date such price adjustment took effect. Customer or Supplier, as applicable, will pay to the other Party the difference between the original price adjustment and the modified price adjustment for all purchases of Products made between the date the price adjustment first became effective and the date the price adjustment is modified, within ten (10) business days after the date the price adjustment is modified. The audit will be

F-11

conducted at Customer’s sole expense, except that if the price adjustment is modified by ten percent (10%) or more after such audit, Supplier shall pay the costs of such audit within ten (10) business days after such price adjustment is made. The modification to any price adjustment will be calculated as follows: (a) (i) the percentage price adjustment proposed by Supplier, minus (ii) the amount of the percentage price adjustment calculated after the audit is completed, divided by (b) the percentage price adjustment proposed by Supplier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will price adjustments be greater than the average price change to Supplier’s other customers for similar products. Prices for Products delivered in the United States or Eurozone will be set in U.S. Dollars and Euros, respectively. Prices for Products delivered in South America and Australia will be set in U.S. Dollars and will be adjusted quarterly for currency fluctuations. Disputes regarding price changes will be resolved through binding arbitration as provided in Section 10.2 below.

5.4 Prices for Replacement Products. Replacement Products shall be priced the same as the price for the Existing Product being replaced unless an increase (a) can be reasonably justified by Supplier based on material differences in component raw material costs, (b) is substantiated by Supplier in writing and (c) is mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties. Disputes regarding Replacement Product pricing will be resolved through binding arbitration as provided in Section 10.2.

5.5 Payment Terms. Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days after acceptance of the applicable Products by Customer. Invoices paid within ten (10) days of invoice are subject to a one percent (1%) discount. Amounts shall be paid in full, without deduction or offset, other than for credits or adjustments in favor of Customer that are expressly stated in writing on Supplier’s invoice or credit memo. All payments for Products shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account as specified by Supplier in writing from time to time.

5.6 Taxes. The amount of any present or future federal, state, local or other tax applicable to the sale of Products hereunder shall be added to the price and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Supplier with a valid exemption certificate acceptable to Supplier and the appropriate taxing authority.

5.7 Invoice Disputes. If Customer reasonably and in good faith disputes any amount due under an invoice provided by Supplier, Customer shall notify Supplier in writing of the basis of such dispute and shall pay any amount not in dispute. Pending resolution of the dispute between the Parties, the time for payment of the disputed amount shall be extended, and Supplier shall continue performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.	WARRANTIES

6.1 Product Warranty. Supplier expressly warrants to Customer that the Products supplied under this Agreement will: (a) be free from any encumbrance; (b) be free from any defect in materials, manufacture and workmanship; (c) conform to the Product Specifications including any intended use expressly stated in any Product Specifications; (d) not infringe any intellectual property rights of any third party; and (e) be fit for use as consumer label products in the OCP Field. In addition to any other remedies expressly

F-12

available to Customer under this Agreement, Customer may return any Product not meeting Supplier’s warranties. Supplier will, at Customer’s option, either replace the affected Product without charge, or reimburse Customer the applicable price for that Product plus any materials provided by Customer to Supplier at the delivered cost. Customer’s acceptance of delivery, inspection, or payment for any Product does not waive any right to bring a claim under the Supplier warranties. Supplier will reasonably assist Customer in investigation of, and corrective action for, Product complaints by Customer’s customers. No representative or agent of Supplier is authorized to give any guarantee or warranty or make any representation contrary to the warranties above. No waiver, alteration, addition or modification of the foregoing warranties or conditions shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by an officer of Supplier.

6.2 No Conflict. Each Party warrants that it has no third party obligations that will conflict in any way with its obligations under this Agreement.

6.3 Disclaimer. THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OF SUPPLIER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE. SUPPLIER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER SUCH WARRANTIES.

7.	INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1 Indemnification by Supplier. Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all third party Damages arising out of or relating to: (i) any damage to property, injury to person, or death resulting from a defect in materials, manufacture and workmanship of a Product, from a Product’s failure to conform to the Product Specifications, including any intended use expressly stated in any Product Specifications, or from a Product’s failure to be fit for use as a consumer label product in the OCP Field, in each case with respect to Products supplied under this Agreement; (ii) any intentional misconduct, fraud or gross negligence committed by Supplier or its employees or agents in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) any violation of applicable laws or regulations by Supplier after the Effective Date; (iv) any breach by Supplier of Section 2.2: (v) any refusal to supply (other than any refusal to supply for or as a result of a Force Majeure Event, pursuant to Section 3.4(b) with respect to the amount of any Purchase Orders that is in excess of the applicable Capacity Commitment or Forecast or Supplier’s inability to supply due to applicable law after Supplier shall have made commercially reasonable attempts to comply with such law); or (vi) any breach of its representations, warranties or covenants provided in this Agreement. Supplier shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all third party Damages arising out of or relating to the fact that the manufacture, use, sale, offer to sell or importation of Products supplied under this Agreement infringes on any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of a third party; provided, however, this indemnity shall not apply to the extent such infringement is caused by any changes or modifications made to the

F-13

Product by Customer after it has been supplied by Supplier or the combination by Customer of the Product after it has been supplied by Supplier with other components where the Product alone would not be infringing. In the event that a Product by virtue of its manufacture, use or sale is determined to be infringing, Supplier’s sole responsibility to Customer, in addition to any indemnification obligation and obligations under Section 6.1, and at Supplier’s option, shall be to (1) obtain for Customer the right to use the infringing Product, (2) replace the infringing Product with a non-infringing alternative, or (3) modify the infringing Product so that it becomes non-infringing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.1 is intended to limit any claims that may be made by Customer against Supplier other than with respect to third party claims, actions or proceedings.

7.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all third party Damages arising out of or relating to: (i) any damage to property, injury to person, or death resulting from a defect in the conversion of a Product supplied under this Agreement; (ii) any intentional misconduct, fraud or gross negligence committed by Customer or its employees or agents in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) any violation of applicable laws or regulations by Customer after the Effective Date; or (iv) any breach by Customer of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.2 is intended to limit any claims that may be made by Supplier against Customer other than with respect to third party claims, actions or proceedings.

7.3 Indemnification Process. The Party seeking indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide prompt written notice of such claim to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known) and the alleged basis thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party, unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense and/or settlement of any such claim and shall be obligated to pay the reasonable costs of defense of any such claim (such costs, the “Defense Costs”). The Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees that the Indemnified Party has the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any claim for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under this Section 7. The Indemnifying Party may not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent: (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such commenced or threatened claim; and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party.

9.	CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1 Confidentiality Obligations. The Parties expect to exchange Confidential Information in the course of performing their respective obligations under this Agreement. All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the applicable Disclosing Party.

F-16

The Receiving Party shall hold all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict trust and confidence, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information other than to its employees and agents who need to know such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality agreements with respect to such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner or for any purpose, other than in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, and in any event, with no less than reasonable care taking into account the nature of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

9.2 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 9.1 above shall not apply to any information that: (i) is lawfully in the possession of the Receiving Party without restriction on disclosure at the time of the Disclosing Party’s first disclosure to the Receiving Party (as evidenced by written records); provided that this clause (i) shall not limit (A) Supplier’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information of Customer that was in Supplier’s possession or known to Supplier’s employees or contractors prior to the Effective Date that relates exclusively to the Acquired Business or (B) Customer’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information of Supplier and its Affiliates that was in Customer’s possession or known to Customer’s employees or contractors prior to the Effective Date that relates exclusively to businesses of Supplier and its Affiliates other than the Acquired Business; (ii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure to the Receiving Party free of any confidentiality obligations; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (as evidenced by written records); or (iv) is, or through no fault of the Receiving Party has become, generally available to the public. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is required by law, a court order, or a governmental agency with jurisdiction, provided that before making such a required disclosure the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving notice of any such required disclosure, takes commercially reasonable actions to assure the confidential handling of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including, to the extent permissible and practicable, affording the Disclosing Party a reasonable period of time to seek a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, if allowed by applicable law and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

9.3 Disclosure Requirements. Prior to disclosing to the Receiving Party any Confidential Information and/or providing any intellectual property owned by the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates that could be used to develop or improve any Products or any other

F-17

products or services, the Disclosing Party shall notify the Receiving Party in writing of the nature of the information or intellectual property being provided and that the Disclosing Party considers such information or intellectual property to be confidential and proprietary. The Receiving Party shall have the right to decline to receive any such information or intellectual property.

9.4 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, or at any time upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all tangible copies of Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession or control and will erase from its computer systems all electronic copies thereof, except that the Receiving Party’s legal counsel may retain one copy of such Confidential Information for record purposes only.

9.5 Confidentiality of the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but not the existence of this Agreement, are the Confidential Information of both Parties. Neither Party shall disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except: (i) as required by law or regulations; and (ii) to its attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality.

10.

GENERAL

10.1 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.2 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of a dispute, each Party will designate an officer to discuss potential reconciliation of any disputes arising under this Agreement. Should such discussion not resolve the disputes, either party may terminate such discussion and the dispute will be resolved in accordance with this Section 10.2. All claims, grievances, demands, controversies, causes of action or disputes of any nature whatsoever (including tort and contract claims, and claims upon any law, statute, order, or regulation) arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to (i) this Agreement, or (ii) questions of arbitrability under this Agreement shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration before a mutually agreeable independent third party arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein. If the Parties fail to agree on an Arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days of receipt by either Party of a demand for arbitration, at the request of either Party, the Arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA as provided in the Rules. Any time period contained herein or in the Rules may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties or by the Arbitrator for good cause shown. Within forty five (45) days after his or her appointment, the Arbitrator shall make a final written determination and award, upon such remaining disputed items, and such determination and award shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto, and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. All fees and disbursements of the Arbitrator shall be paid one-half by each Party.

F-18

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a party from seeking injunctive relief to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to that party.

(c) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 2.2, will be inadequate and, accordingly, Supplier covenants and agrees that Customer shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which such party may have at law, be entitled to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of any such provision of this Agreement, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction. Supplier hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with seeking any such equitable relief. In addition, Supplier agrees that the terms of this Agreement are fair and reasonable. In the event that any of the obligations contained in this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then any such provisions shall not be deemed void, and the parties hereto agree that said limits may be modified by the court and that said obligations contained in this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with said modification, it being specifically agreed by the Parties that it is their continuing desire that the obligations be enforced to the fullest extent or if a court finds the obligation unenforceable, the court should redefine the obligations so as to provide the fullest extent of the obligations permitted under applicable law.

10.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.3.

10.4 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of the Agreement (other than the payment of money) when such failure or delay is caused by or

F-19

results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including fire, storms, floods, earthquakes, natural disasters, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, lockouts or other labor disturbances of third parties or any regional or national labor disturbances, accidents, inability to obtain transportation facilities, acts of God or unreasonable omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (each a “Force Majeure Event”), provided, however, that the Party affected by such Force Majeure Event uses diligent efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other Party in writing of the circumstances causing the delay or non-performance and resumes performance as soon as reasonably possible, and further provided, Customer shall have the right to obtain Products from an alternative supplier pursuant to Section 3.2, but only for so long after such Force Majeure Event is cured as is specified in any commercially reasonable contract for such Products entered into by Customer during such Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event will not include: (a) labor disputes of Supplier and its Affiliates, (b) non-performance by Supplier’s supplier, unless the goods or services were unobtainable from another Customer-approved source at a reasonable cost, on reasonable terms and in a reasonable time or (c) any delay preventable by Supplier moving the affected Products to an alternate Supplier facility. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Force Majeure Event or any lockouts or other labor disturbances limited to Supplier and its Affiliates as soon as is reasonably practicable.

10.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

10.6 Waiver. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party hereto of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a Party hereto to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

10.7 Independent Contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a single employer, joint employer, co-employer, alter-ego, agency, partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between either Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and the other Party or any of the other Party’s Affiliates, on the other hand. Each Party is acting pursuant to this Agreement solely as an independent contractor.

F-20

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile, .pdf or email), each of which when executed shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

10.10 Notice. All notices and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if personally delivered; when transmitted if transmitted by telecopy; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic address by recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express); and five (5) business days after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

D. The Acquired Marks and the Retained Marks (the “Marks”) both contain the term AVERY and/or the “triangle logo.”

E. The Parties desire to avoid any confusion, mistake, or deception as to the source or sponsorship of their respective goods and services sold under or in connection with the Retained Marks and the Acquired Marks.

ADC and its affiliates shall have no right hereunder to use the Acquired Marks or any trademarks confusingly similar to the Acquired Marks, except to the extent necessary to perform its duties under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and except that (i) ADC and its affiliates shall have the right to exhaust any existing inventory or works-in-process bearing the Acquired Marks for up to six (6) months after the Effective Date and (ii) Avery Dennison Japan K.K. and the ADC Graphics Division (A) will continue to manufacture and sell products using the AVERY brands and Avery Logo (including the specific Graphics Division logo set forth on Exhibit C) for twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, and (B) will be permitted to sell any products containing such brands and logo remaining in its inventory for up to six (6) months.

(b)

(c)

ADC agrees that it shall not use, and shall cause its affiliates to not use, the Retained Marks or any trademarks confusingly similar to the Retained Marks in connection with the making, selling, promoting or distributing of any products or services or for any other purpose through the OCP Channels to end consumers, except that ADC may use the Retained Marks to make, sell, promote and distribute products and services of the Retained Business (i) through the on-line channel and/or (ii) to businesses operating in the OCP Channels for internal use in operating their businesses (e.g., ADC and its affiliates may use the Retained Marks to sell, promote or distribute RFID tags to a retailer for tracking its inventory or for theft prevention, but ADC may not use the Retained Marks to sell, promote or distribute RFID tags to end consumers through a retailer or other business in the OCP Channels).

Except as set forth in Section 2.2(a), ADC agrees that it shall (and shall cause its affiliates to) always use the “triangle logo” oriented so that the top of the triangle is pointed directly up (not in a tilted orientation) and in association with the mark AVERY DENNISON, so as to reduce the likelihood of confusion with the Avery Logo. For clarity, ADC has no obligation to use the ADC Logo and may use a different logo or design (other than the Avery Logo or any logo confusingly similar thereto) or no logo or design in association with the mark AVERY DENNISON.

(e)

For the avoidance of doubt, ADC and its affiliates shall retain, and the Retained Marks include, all rights to use “Avery Dennison” as its company name, as a brand name, service mark and trademark, and all marks incorporating “Avery Dennison” and /or related logos (other than, for clarity, the Avery Logo and any names or marks assigned to Buyer under the Purchase Agreement), a sampling of which is set forth on Exhibit B, provided that such use is outside of the OCP Field. ADC agrees that it shall not use, and shall cause its affiliates to not use, the Retained Marks in a manner that is intended to emphasize the AVERY portion over the DENNISON portion of such name and mark or in any manner confusingly similar to the Acquired Marks.

(f)

ADC agrees that it shall not (and shall cause its affiliates to not) (i) use the terms “label” or “labels” in connection with the promotion, advertising, packaging, selling or distributing of any label pad products sold in the OCP Channels or (ii) use any of the Retained Marks on or in connection with the promotion, advertising, packaging, selling or distributing of any (A) label pads and label pad books consisting of removable adhesive linerless padded paper products, and related products identified as “Label Pad” products, (B) removable adhesive translucent plastic tabbed padded products, books, dispensers, and related products identified as “NoteTabs” products, and (C) sticky note products and flag products consisting of removable adhesive linerless padded paper and film products, and related products identified as “Sticky Notes” products.

(g)

The Parties acknowledge that there are certain trademarks owned by ADC that contain elements of both the Retained Marks and the Acquired Marks.

Buyer shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such licensee.

3.2.

Buyer shall not attempt to register, and shall cause its affiliates to not register, the Retained Marks alone or as part of its own trademarks (other than the mark AVERY and the Avery Logo, as permitted hereunder) or attempt to register any marks confusingly similar to the Retained Marks.

4.2

Buyer’s Ownership of Acquired Marks and Goodwill. ADC acknowledges the sole ownership by Buyer and its affiliates of the Acquired Marks and all related goodwill.

Confusion Not Likely. The Parties mutually believe that the continued use and registration of the Acquired Marks and the Retained Marks on and in connection with the goods and/or services relating to their respective businesses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is not likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception as to the source or sponsorship of their respective goods and services because of, among other reasons, distinctions in those respective goods and services, distinctions in the respective channels of trade, distinctions in the targeted consumers and the respective uses of the marks hereunder. The Parties agree to continue to take reasonable action, and to cause their affiliates to take reasonable action, to reduce the likelihood of confusion due to the co-existence and registration of their respective marks hereunder, to notify one another of any actual confusion that is brought to their attention in connection with their respective names and marks hereunder, and to mutually cooperate, as is reasonable under the circumstances, to rectify any actual or potential confusion resulting therefrom.

6.	Further Assurances.

6.1

General Assistance. At any time and from time to time, promptly upon reasonable request and at the expense of the requesting Party, each Party shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, sign and deliver to the requesting Party any and all further instruments and consents, and shall take further reasonable action, at the requesting Party’s cost for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, in order to give the requesting Party the full benefit of this Agreement.

6.3

Licenses. In the event and to the extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6, a Party or its affiliate is not permitted to register, record, or assign a Retained Mark (in the case of ADC) or an Acquired Mark (in the case of Buyer) in a particular jurisdiction, upon the request of such Party the other Party hereby grants to such Party a royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicenseable license to use the Retained Mark or Acquired Mark, as applicable, in such jurisdiction in a manner consistent with this Agreement until such time as such assignment and recordal occurs. At the requesting Party’s request and expense, the other Party shall use reasonable efforts to file, prosecute, and maintain applications or registrations for such licensed Mark(s) in such jurisdiction(s) until such assignment and recordal occurs.

9.	Miscellaneous.

9.1.

Waiver. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party hereto of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

G-12

9.14

Independent Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a single employer, joint employer, co-employer, alter-ego, agency, partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between ADC or any of ADC’s affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of Buyer’s affiliates, on the other hand.

For the purpose of furthering the Parties’ common interest in this Agreement, and to provide that the sharing of relevant information shall not waive or diminish the confidentiality of such information or its continued protection under all applicable privileges and protections, the Parties shall at the request of either Party enter into an appropriate written community of interest agreement.

4.	Confidentiality

4.1 Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any know how or trade secrets and all other scientific, manufacturing, marketing, financial and commercial information or data, or other proprietary or confidential information, of a Party or its Affiliates, or held by a Party or its Affiliates under an obligation of confidentiality to a third party, which may be disclosed from one Party or its Affiliates to the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, whether disclosed orally, visually, in writing or in any tangible or electronic form or media. Confidential Information may be, but is not required to be, marked “Confidential”. “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, the terms of this Agreement as well as any proprietary or confidential information that is jointly owned by the Parties. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information to the extent such information:

(a) Is publicly disclosed through no fault of the receiving Party or its Affiliates hereto, either before or after it becomes known to the receiving Party or its Affiliates;

(b) Was known to the receiving Party or its Affiliates prior to disclosure under this Agreement and/or the Purchase Agreement, which knowledge was acquired independently and not from the disclosing Party or its Affiliates hereto, as evidenced by the written records of the receiving Party or its Affiliates (other than confidential information disclosed or transferred to Buyer or 3M IPC by ADC pertaining to the Business, which shall remain Confidential Information under this Agreement);

(c) Is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party in good faith by a third party who has a right to make such disclosure; or

(d) Was developed independently of and without reference to the disclosing Party’s or its Affiliates’ confidential information after disclosure under this Agreement, as evidenced by the receiving Party’s or its Affiliates’ written records.

Any combination of disclosures shall not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exclusions merely because individual elements or features of the Confidential Information are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the receiving Party unless the combination itself and principle of operation are published or available to the general public or in the rightful possession of the receiving Party.

4.2 Non-Disclosure Obligations and Permitted Disclosure Agreement.

(c) is deemed necessary by the receiving Party to be disclosed to such Party’s attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisers for the sole purpose of enabling such attorneys or independent accountants to provide professional advice to the receiving Party on the condition that such third parties are bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations customary for the type of professional and are advised that the information being disclosed is confidential; or

(d) is limited to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and is deemed necessary by a Party to be disclosed to accredited investors or potential acquirers or merger candidates in the context of due diligence investigations of such Party solely for the purpose of evaluating a potential business relationship, on the condition that such third parties agree in writing to be bound by the confidentiality and non-use obligations contained in this Agreement.

4.3 Compelled Disclosure. If a Party is required by judicial or administrative process to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, such Party shall promptly inform the other Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Confidential Information that is disclosed by judicial or administrative process shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Section 4.3, and the Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to Law or court order shall take all steps reasonably necessary, including seeking an order of confidentiality, to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.
