Upon completion of the physical count, MTC under supervision of the Buyer shall cause the inventory to be tabulated and each item to be valued at cost in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the application of such principles in the preparation of the December 31, 2005 Balance Sheet. MTC under supervision of the Buyer will cause the value of such inventory and related reserves to be rolled backward, based upon purchases and use from the Closing Date through the date of the physical count, to value the inventory of MTC and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date.

including the Designated Accountants’ work papers, and shall have full access to the Designated Accountants during such audit, which review shall not constitute any approval of or acquiescence in the Closing Date Balance Sheet or Net Income Tax Liabilities on the part of the Sellers.

          (f) In the event that the Sellers do not disagree with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculation by the Designated Accountants of the Purchase Price and Net Income Tax Liabilities pursuant to Section 3.2(a), then the payment to be made pursuant to Section 3.2(h) (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”) shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or prior to the forty-fifth (45th) day after the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet as provided in Section 3.2(a).

          (h) Following the Closing, in accordance with this Section 3.2, the Preliminary Purchase Price will be adjusted as set forth below to arrive at the Purchase Price:

     (i) if the Purchase Price exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, the amount of such excess will be added to the Preliminary Purchase Price and the Purchase Price Adjustment (the amount of such excess) shall be paid by the Buyer to Sellers in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds as provided in this Article III; and

     (ii) if the Purchase Price is less than the Preliminary Purchase Price, the amount of such deficit will be subtracted from the Preliminary Purchase Price and the Purchase Price Adjustment (the amount of such deficit) shall be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds as provided in this Article III.

          (i) The Sellers shall be jointly and severally responsible for the payment to the Buyer of the amount, if any, by which the Purchase Price as determined in accordance with this Article III is decreased from the Preliminary Purchase Price.

          (n) Neither the Sellers, MTC nor any of its Subsidiaries are subject to any legal, contractual, equitable, or other obligation to establish or continue any Benefit Plan on or after the date hereof.

          (o) Neither the Sellers, MTC nor any of its Subsidiaries have made any representations or communications (directly or indirectly, orally, in writing or otherwise) with respect to participation, eligibility for benefits, vesting, benefit accrual coverage or other material terms of any Benefit Plan to any employee, beneficiary or other person other than those which are in accordance with the terms and provisions of each such Benefit Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

The consummation of the Acquisition will not create liability for any act by MTC or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing under the WARN Act or any other Law respecting reductions in force or the impact on employees on plant closings or sales of businesses.

          (b) There are no past, pending or, to the Knowledge of Sellers, threatened Environmental Actions against or affecting MTC or any of its Subsidiaries, and to the Knowledge of Sellers, there are no facts or circumstances which would reasonably be expected to form the basis for any Environmental Action against MTC or any such Subsidiary.

          (d) There has been no treatment, storage, disposal or Release by MTC or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Substance at, from, into, on or under any Leased Real Property or any other property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by MTC or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (e) Neither MTC nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a CERCLA 104(e) information request nor has MTC or any of its Subsidiaries been named a potentially responsible party for any National Priorities List site under CERCLA or any other site under analogous state Law.

          (a) The Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) a true and complete list of each insurance policy which covers MTC or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, assets, directors or employees (the “Policies”) and (ii) a list of all pending claims and the claims history for MTC and its Subsidiaries during the current year and the preceding three years (including with respect to insurance obtained but not currently maintained). There are no pending claims under any of such Policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the insurer or in respect of which either MTC or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice that the insurer has reserved its rights.

          (b) There are no self-insurance arrangements by or affecting MTC or any of its Subsidiaries other than standard deductibles.

To the Knowledge of Sellers, there is no existing default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under any Policy or entitle any insurer to terminate or cancel any Policy. Sellers have no Knowledge of any threatened termination of, or material premium increase with respect to, any Policy and none of such Policies provides for retroactive premium adjustments.

     4.24 Product Warranty.

          (a) There are no warranties (express or implied) outstanding with respect to any products currently or formerly assembled, sold, distributed, provided or shipped (“Products”), or any services rendered, by MTC or any of its Subsidiaries, beyond that set forth in the standard conditions of sale or service, copies of which are included in the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

The requesting Party shall, and the Buyer shall cause MTC, each of its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates to hold in confidence all confidential information identified as such by, and obtained after the Closing from, the disclosing Party, any of its officers, agents, representatives or employees; provided, however, that information that (i) was in the public domain; (ii) was in fact known to the requesting Party prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party, its officers, agents, representatives or employees; (iii) becomes known to the requesting Party from or through a third party not under an obligation of non-disclosure to the disclosing Party; or (iv) Seller is required by Law or otherwise deems necessary and proper to disclose in connection with the filing, examination or defense of any Tax Return or other document required to be filed, shall not be deemed to be confidential information. In addition, the Parties agree that confidential information may be used for the purpose for which it was supplied.

     6.9 Update to Disclosure. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Buyer shall promptly inform Sellers in writing of any material variances discovered by the Buyer

or their representatives in the representations and warranties of MTC and Sellers contained in this Agreement. MTC and Sellers shall have the right to update the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Updated Schedules”) with respect to any matter arising after the date hereof but prior to the Closing, provided that Sellers deliver the Updated Schedules to Buyer no later than five business days prior to the Closing Date. If Buyer receives Updated Schedules from Sellers, Buyer shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(i), provided the matters disclosed on such Updated Schedules would otherwise result in the condition set forth in Section 7.1 not being satisfied, or (b) proceed with the Closing, provided that Sellers shall not be deemed to be in breach of their representations and warranties hereunder as a result of any updated matter set forth in such Updated Schedules and upon the Closing the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all claims against Sellers, including all indemnity claims pursuant to Article IX, for all updated matters set forth in such Updated Schedules. For all purposes under this Agreement, the Updated Schedules shall be deemed to supersede and amend the original Disclosure Schedule dated as of the date of this Agreement.

     6.10 Resignation of Directors. Prior to or at the Closing, Sellers will cause each director of MTC and each of its Subsidiaries to resign as a director of MTC or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, effective at the Closing.

     6.11 Director and Officer Indemnification.

          (a) From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, and shall cause MTC and its Subsidiaries to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Closing Date is, or at any time prior to the Closing Date was, a director, officer, agent, or employee of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Agents”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, acts or omissions by an Agent in the Agent’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries (including in connection with serving at the request of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person (including in connection with the Acquisition)), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, and (ii) assume all obligations of MTC and its Subsidiaries to the Agents in respect of indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date as provided in the applicable organizational or Charter Documents, which shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer, from and after the Closing Date, shall cause the organizational and Charter Documents of MTC and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to the Agents with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the applicable organizational or Charter Documents of MTC and its Subsidiaries, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Agents. In addition, the Buyer shall, and shall cause MTC and its Subsidiaries to, pay any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Agent under this Section 6.11 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.11) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the Person to

- 44 -

whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Law.

          (b) In the event any claim is asserted or made, any determinations that are required to be made with respect to whether an Agent’s conduct complies with an applicable standard shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Agent; provided that nothing in this Section 6.11 shall impair any rights of any current or former director or officers of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective organizational and Charter Documents, under applicable Law or otherwise.

          (c) The obligations of the Buyer, MTC and its Subsidiaries under this Section 6.11 shall continue in full force and effect following the Closing and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Agent to whom this Section 6.11 applies unless the affected Agent shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Agent to whom this Section 6.11 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11). The provisions of this Section 6.11 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Agent, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

          (d) If Buyer or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer, assume, honor and discharge the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provisions of this Section 6.11 shall not apply to claims for indemnification under Article IX of this Agreement against Edward T. McLoughlin and Mary Ellen Cahill in their capacity as Sellers.

     6.12 Employee Relations and Benefits.

          (a) Effective as of the Closing, and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Buyer shall cause MTC and its Subsidiaries to provide to the individuals who are employees of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (the “Affected Employees”), to the extent and only so long as they remain as employees of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries during such 12 month period, compensation and employee benefits which in the aggregate are substantially equal in value to the compensation and benefits provided by MTC or its Subsidiaries to the Affected Employees at the time of Closing. For a period of 12 months after Closing, the Affected Employees shall be entitled to severance pay on substantially the same terms as currently provided by and in a manner consistent with the current practices of, MTC and its Subsidiaries, as disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

          (b) To the extent that the Affected Employees become eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the Buyer shall cause the Affected Employees to receive credit for all periods of employment and/or service with MTC (including service with predecessor employers, where

- 45 -

such credit was provided by MTC) prior to the Closing Date for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting service, to the extent such credit does not result in a duplication of benefits.

          (c) The Buyer shall cause all welfare benefit plans in which Affected Employees participate following the Closing to (i) waive all waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Affected Employees and their covered dependents under such plans (except to the extent that such waiting periods would apply under the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s plans as in existence prior to the Closing), to the extent permitted by any insurance carriers and third-party administrators for such plans, and (ii) provide each Affected Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid during the relevant plan year prior to Closing in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such plans, to the extent permitted by any insurance carriers and third-party administrators for such plans. This Section 6.12(c) shall not apply with respect to any German welfare benefit plans which is applicable to German Affected Employees, except that all such plans shall be continued in accordance with applicable Law and under their regular terms in the same way as if the Acquisition had not been consummated and that any expectancy rights (Anwartschaftsrechte) which may exist due to terms of service, copayments by Affected Employees or otherwise will be fully recognized.

          (d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.12 shall confer upon any Affected Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, be construed as requiring the Buyer or MTC to continue any specific employee benefit plans or to continue the employment of any specific person, or prevent the Buyer or MTC from modifying or terminating any Benefit Plan, or otherwise modifying the terms and conditions of an Affected Employee’s employment.

          (e) The Buyer shall have full responsibility for compliance with the Worker’s Adjustment and Restraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, and be solely responsible for furnishing any required notice of any “plant closing” or “mass layoff”, as applicable, which arise as a result of any facility closings, reductions in work force or termination or other action, that MTC and its Subsidiaries may cause or initiate on or after the Closing Date and shall jointly and severally indemnify Sellers and their respective Affiliates for any liability related thereto, including reasonable attorneys’ fees related thereto.

     6.13 Tax Matters.

          (a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of MTC and its Subsidiaries that are due after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to Buyer, within five (5) days following the filing of such Tax Returns by Buyer, an amount equal to the portion of their Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns which relates to any taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are accrued as a liability for purposes of calculating either the Closing Working Capital Value or Net Income Tax Liabilities as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall provide drafts of the Tax Returns of MTC and its Subsidiaries (along with related work papers) which it prepares and files relating to any Pre-Closing Period at least 15 Business Days before such Tax Returns are filed for Sellers’ review and comment.

          (b) Cooperation in Filing Tax Returns. Buyer and the Sellers shall, and shall each cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, provide to the other such cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes, or in conducting any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include, without limitation, providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings and other determinations by taxing authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which any such party may possess. Each Party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of MTC and its Subsidiaries for the Tax period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the later of either (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notice is provided with respect thereto, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) eight years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them provided that such Party shall give to the other party the notice described in Section 11.1 prior to doing so. Buyer and its Affiliates shall make their employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information provided by Buyer (or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) pursuant to this Section 6.13(b). Sellers shall make themselves and their employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at Sellers’ cost to provide explanation of any documents or information provided by Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.13(b).

          (c) Allocation of Certain Taxes.

     (i) If MTC and its Subsidiaries are permitted but not required under applicable state, local, or foreign income tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then the parties shall treat that day as the last day of a taxable period.

     (ii) In the case of Taxes arising in a taxable period of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, except as provided in Section 6.13(c)(iii), the allocation of such Taxes between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period shall be made on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. If a taxable period begins on or prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, then the portion of the taxable period that begins on the day following the Closing Date shall constitute a Post-Closing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, any Tax resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the distribution of Capital Stock of The Mason and Dixon Lines Incorporated, a Tennessee corporation, and Arizona Kazakstan Development Group Incorporated, an Arizona corporation, is allocable to the Pre-Closing Period.

     (iii) In the case of Taxes based on capitalization, debt or shares of stock authorized, issued or outstanding, or personal property, real property or other ad

valorem Taxes, that are payable for a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period. However, any such Taxes attributable to any property that was owned by MTC or any of its Subsidiaries at some point in the Pre-Closing Period, but is not owned as of the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, any assets owned by, or Capital Stock of, The Mason and Dixon Lines Incorporated, a Tennessee corporation, and Arizona Kazakstan Development Group Incorporated, an Arizona corporation) shall be allocated entirely to the Pre-Closing Period.

          (d) Payment of Transfer Taxes and Fees. The Sellers shall pay all Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates including, following the Closing, MTC and its Subsidiaries, with respect to such Transfer Taxes. The Sellers shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall provide, and following the Closing shall cause MTC and its Subsidiaries to provide, such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Sellers in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of such Tax Returns. Sellers and Buyer shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, reasonably allocate the purchase price among the assets to the extent required or desirable to complete any necessary Transfer Tax Returns or reports and to compute the amount of any Transfer Taxes and shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all such Tax Returns.

          (e) FIRPTA. Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer on the Closing Date a properly prepared and executed certificate of MTC under Treas. Reg. §§ 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c) to the effect that the Shares are not “U.S. real property interests”, within the meaning of Section 897(c)(1) of the Code.

          (f) Refunds. If after the Closing Date, MTC or any of its Subsidiaries receives a refund of any Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Period, then MTC or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Sellers the amount of such refund together with any interest thereon, but net of any Taxes imposed on any Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto. Any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) that relates to MTC or any of its Subsidiaries and that is attributable to a Post-Closing Period shall be the property of MTC or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and shall be retained by MTC or such Subsidiary (or promptly paid by Sellers to MTC or such Subsidiary if any such refund (or interest thereon) is received by any Seller or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Seller). In applying this Section 6.13(f), any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period in accordance with Section 6.13(c).

     6.14 Non-Compete; Non-Solicit. For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date, the Sellers will not, directly or indirectly, or as a stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, consultant or other owner or participant in any Person (a) engage in, assist

any other Person to, hire any other Person to or have any employees that engage in the Business (as conducted by MTC and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date) anywhere in the United States, or anywhere else in the world where MTC or any of its Subsidiaries does business, or (b) adversely affect the business relationship of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries with any Person who is, or was within the one-year period prior to the Closing, a customer, employee or consultant of, a supplier or service provider to, or other Person having business relations with, MTC or any of its Subsidiaries. For a period of one (1) year commencing on the Closing Date, the Sellers will not, directly or indirectly, or as a stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, consultant or other owner or participant in any Person, solicit or endeavor to entice away from MTC or any of its Subsidiaries, or offer employment or a consulting position to, any Person who is an employee or consultant of MTC or any of its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, except those whose employment has been terminated by Buyer, MTC or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing, and except for Martin Haver.

     6.15 Medical Insurance. Buyer shall provide to each of Ed McLoughlin and Mary Ellen Cahill medical insurance comparable to the medical insurance provided at the time by Buyer to its executive employees and on terms no less favorable than Buyer offers such medical insurance to its executive employees for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on their respective 65^th birthdays. Spouses and dependents of Ed McLoughlin and Mary Ellen Cahill shall be eligible for coverage under such medical insurance in the same manner that spouses and dependents of Buyer’s employees are eligible for coverage as secondary insureds.

If the Indemnifying Party contests the assertion of a claim, the Parties covenant and agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve their dispute with respect to such claim.

     9.4 Defense of Claims. In connection with any claim for which indemnification has been sought under this Article IX resulting from or arising out of any claim or Action against an Indemnitee by a Person that is not a Party hereto (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any such claim or Action (unless such Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written notice to the relevant Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Parties shall have assumed the defense of any claim or Action in accordance with this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Parties shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Action, without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Parties shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (less any unapplied portion of the Minimum Amount and up to the Maximum Amount); provided, further, that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be authorized to encumber any of the assets of any Indemnitee or to agree to any restriction that would apply to any Indemnitee or to its conduct of business; and provided, further, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of such Indemnitee and its Affiliates, officers, employees, consultants and agents with respect to such claim. Each Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, officers, employees, consultants and agents to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Parties in the defense of any claim or Action being defended by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 9.4. If the Indemnifying Parties do not assume the defense of any claim or Action resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.4, such Indemnitee must defend against such claim or Action. The Indemnitee shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of the Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties consent in writing to such payment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnitee for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitee controls the defense of any such claim or Action in accordance with this Section 9.4 and proposes to settle any such claim or Actions prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claim or Action.

     9.5 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnifying Person has the exclusive right to settle or

compromise under Section 9.4) or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such claim or Action of the kind referred to in Section 9.4 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (i) no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of such settlement or compromise without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the Indemnitee will not compromise or settle any claim or Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     9.6 Subrogation. To the extent that any Indemnifying Party discharges any claim for indemnification hereunder, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of any Indemnitee against third parties, including all rights relating to claims under any insurance, contracts, common law or otherwise. Such Indemnitee (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further protect such subrogation rights.

     9.7 Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Party shall have (a) any liability under Section 9.1(a)(i) or Section 9.1(c)(i) for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty by such Party, if the other Party (i) had Knowledge at or before the Closing of the facts as a result of which such representation or warranty was breached or inaccurate or (ii) was provided access to, at or before the Closing, a document disclosing such facts (except in the case of a breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty by Sellers relating to any Taxes, in which case Sellers shall have liability under Section 9.1(a)(i) whether or not Buyer (x) had Knowledge at or before the Closing of the facts as a result of which such representation or warranty was breached or inaccurate or (y) was provided access to, at or before the Closing, a document disclosing such facts) or (b) any liability after the Closing for any breach of or failure to perform before the Closing any covenant or obligation of such Party if the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, employees, counsel or other representatives (i) had Knowledge at or before the Closing of such breach or failure or (ii) was provided access to, at or before the Closing, a document disclosing such breach or failure (except in the case of a breach or failure by Sellers relating to any Taxes, in which case Sellers shall have liability whether or not Buyer (x) had Knowledge at or before the Closing of such breach or failure or (y) was provided access to, at or before the Closing, a document disclosing such breach or failure).

     9.8 Post-Closing Actions. Sellers shall not be required to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or otherwise for any liability under any Environmental Law as a result of any Buyer Party’s or, following the Closing MTC’s or any of its Subsidiary’s unsolicited voluntary action, including, but not limited to, intrusive site investigations or contacts with or disclosures to a Governmental Authority or other Person. None of the Buyer shall voluntarily solicit or request any Governmental Authority or other Person to make a claim with the purpose of triggering the indemnity provisions of this Agreement.

     9.9 Indemnification Calculations. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be computed net of any insurance

proceeds, Tax benefits or other recoveries available to any Indemnitee in connection with such Losses. Each Indemnitee shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnitee (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnitee with respect thereto, the Indemnitee (or such Affiliate) shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment).

     9.10 Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes, as between Buyer and Sellers, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or Governmental Authority interpretations thereof.

     9.11 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or as set forth in Section 11.8, to the extent that the Buyer or any of its Affiliates has any Losses for which it may assert any other right to indemnification, contribution or recovery from Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any common law theory or any statute or other Law), the Buyer hereby waives, releases and agrees not to assert such right, and the Buyer agrees to cause each of its Affiliates to waive, release and agree not to assert such right, regardless of the theory upon which any claim may be based, whether contract, equity, tort, warranty, strict liability or any other theory of liability. Except in the case of fraud or as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the indemnification provisions in Article IX of this Agreement shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties hereto, their Affiliates, and any of their officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives with respect to any and all Losses of any kind or nature whatever incurred because of or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement, document or certificate delivered herewith or therewith, the Acquisition, the Business, MTC and its Subsidiaries and any of their assets and liabilities (other than Losses to the extent resulting from the failure of the Buyer to complete the Acquisition other than for reasons permitted by the Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives (and agrees not to bring any Action in respect of), on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and of any of their officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any of them may now or hereafter have against the other Party and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, arising under or based upon any Law (including any such rights, claims or causes of action relating to CERCLA or any other Environmental Law or arising under or based upon common law) or otherwise (except pursuant to Section 6.11, 6.12 or Article IX of this Agreement).

ARTICLE X

     11.3 Non-Assignability. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise by any Party hereto without the express prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3, the Buyer shall be permitted to collaterally assign its rights (and related remedies) under this Agreement (and related agreements and instruments) to its lenders from time to time (or their agent(s)); provided that the Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder (and thereunder).

     11.4 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties hereto. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving. The waiver by any Party hereto of any condition to this Agreement or breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other condition of this Agreement or subsequent breach.

     11.5 Third Parties. Except for the rights provided in Sections 9.1, this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a Party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto; provided that nothing contained in this Section 11.5 shall, or be interpreted to, limit the provisions with respect to the collateral assignment of this Agreement by the Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3.

     11.6 Currency. All references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean U.S. dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

     11.7 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. This Agreement and each other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Illinois. Each of the Parties agrees that if any dispute shall be resolved is not resolved by the Parties, it shall be resolved only in the courts of the State of Illinois sitting in the County of Illinois or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts (collectively, the “Proper Courts”). In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits for itself and its property in any action relating to this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this

Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action shall be heard and determined in such Illinois state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court; (b) consents that any such action may and shall be brought in such Proper Court and waives any objection that it may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such action in any such Proper Court or that such action was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) waives all right to trial by jury in any action (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or its performance under or the enforcement of this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (d) agrees that service of process in any such action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Party at its address as provided in Section 11.1; and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the State of Illinois.

     11.8 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement, the aggrieved party may be without an adequate remedy at law. The parties therefore agree that in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement the aggrieved party may elect to institute and prosecute any Action exclusively in the Proper Court to obtain specific performance or to enjoin the continuing breach of such provision, as well as to obtain damages for breach of this Agreement and to obtain reasonable attorneys’ fees, without bond or other security being required. By seeking or obtaining any such relief, the aggrieved party will not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

     11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits and agreements referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Letter) set forth the entire understanding of the Parties hereto as to matters not expressly excepted or excluded herefrom.

     11.10 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided or that the context otherwise requires:

          (a) when a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated;

          (b) the table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only, are for convenience only and not deemed to be a part of this Agreement and do not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement;

          (c) whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

          (d) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement;

          (e) all terms defined in this Agreement have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto, unless otherwise defined therein;

          (f) the definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms;

          (g) reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, the terms hereof;

          (h) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns;

          (i) reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity or individually;

          (j) the use of “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless expressly indicated otherwise; and

          (k) when a reference is made in this Agreement to a U.S. Law concept or a U.S. Governmental Authority, such reference shall be deemed and interpreted as a reference to a corresponding concept or authority or semi-public administrative body under a corresponding foreign jurisdiction Law in those cases in which the reference relates to a Person falling under such foreign jurisdiction and in which such interpretation is required to economically approximate the intention of this Agreement, and such interpretation shall be made in line with the respective foreign Law, including those cases in which an explicit reference is made in this Agreement to a specific foreign Law in italics.

     11.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Acquisition are fulfilled to the extent possible. With respect to any provision of this Agreement finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the Buyer and Sellers hereby agree that such court shall have jurisdiction to reform such provision so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and the parties agree to abide by such court’s determination. If any such provision of this Agreement cannot be reformed, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     11.12 Schedules. Neither the specification of any dollar amount or any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument entered into or

delivered in connection with the Acquisition (the “Ancillary Agreements”) nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any schedule to any Ancillary Agreement is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item or matter so specified or included, or other items or matters, are or are not material, shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement and no Party shall use the fact of the specification of any such amount or the specification or inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any item or matter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Neither the specification of any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any schedule to any Ancillary Agreement is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business and no party shall use the fact or the specification or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any item or matter is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

     11.13 Language. Sellers and the Buyer agree that the language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and that no rule of strict construction is to be applied against the Sellers or the Buyer. Each of Sellers and the Buyer and their respective counsel have reviewed and negotiated the terms of this Agreement.

     11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

Form of MW&E Opinion

November __, 2006

Baldwin Technology Company, Inc.
2 Trap Falls Road
Suite 402
Shelton, CT 06484

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Edward T. McLoughlin of Barrington, Illinois (“Mr. McLoughlin”) STEM Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership (“STEM”), the Edward McLoughlin Grantor Trust (the “Grantor Trust”), Mary Ellen Cahill of Somerset, New Jersey (“Mrs. Cahill”), Pine Harbour Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Pine Harbours”), and the Mary Ellen Cahill Family 2006 Irrevocable Trust (the “Family Trust”, and with Mr. McLoughlin, STEM, the Grantor Trust, Mrs. Cahill and Pine Harbours, individually, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2006 (the “Agreement”), between Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”) and the Sellers, governing the sale by the Sellers of common stock in MTC Trading Company, an Arizona corporation (“MTC”), to the Buyer. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 8.3(g) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

In our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to this opinion which we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of the Sellers or MTC and its officers and other representatives and of public officials, including the facts set forth in the Certificates described below.

In rendering opinions set forth herein, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies of the following:

(a) the Agreement;

(b) certificate of Mr. McLoughlin, dated the date hereof, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto;

(c) the certificate of Mrs. Cahill, dated the date hereof, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto;

(d) copies of the Articles of Organization of the general partner of each of STEM and Pine Harbour; and

(e) certificates from public officials in the states of Arizona, Delaware and Illinois as to the good standing of MTC and the general partner of each of STEM and Pine Harbour in each such jurisdiction.

References to (i) “Applicable Laws” shall mean those laws, rules and regulations of the State of Illinois and of the United States of America which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Agreement; and (ii) the term “Governmental Authorities” means any Illinois or federal, executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body.

Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring solely to the actual knowledge of the particular McDermott Will & Emery LLP attorneys who have represented the Sellers in connection with the Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation, including any docket or other search of pending litigation, to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such representation has been undertaken by us.

We are admitted to the Bar in the State of Illinois. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of Illinois, (ii) the Limited Liability Company Act and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware, (iii) the federal laws of the United States of America to the extent specifically referred to herein, and (iv) based solely on the certificates of public officials previously identified, the laws of Arizona with respect to our opinion with respect to MTC’s existence and good standing as a corporation in the State of Arizona. With respect to our opinion in the paragraph numbered 2 below with respect to MTC, we have assumed that the laws of the State of Arizona are the same as those of the State of Illinois.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, that:

(a) The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Buyer;

(b) the execution, delivery and performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement does not and will not conflict with, contravene, violate or constitute a default under (i) any lease, indenture, instrument or other agreement to which a Seller or MTC is subject, (ii) any rule, law or regulation to which a Seller or MTC is subject (other than Applicable Laws as to which we express our opinion in paragraph 8 herein) or (iii) any judicial or administrative order or decree of any governmental authority; and

(c) no authorization, consent or other approval of, notice to or filing with any court, governmental authority or regulatory body is required to authorize or is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Sellers of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; and

(d) the Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Sellers enforceable against such parties (other than the Sellers) in accordance with their terms.

In rendering our opinions expressed below, we express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of (i) any fraudulent transfer or similar law on the Agreement or any transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any preference or similar law on the Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby.

Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

     1. Each of MTC and its domestic Subsidiaries is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation;

     2. Each of MTC and its domestic Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its properties and assets, and to conduct its business as presently conducted;

     3. Each Seller has power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder;

     4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by each Seller that is a trust or limited partnership, and the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such Seller (including in the case of such Seller which is a limited partnership requisite action on the part of the limited liability company acting as its general partner) necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of the Agreement;

     5. The Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the following qualifications;

(a) enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, unconscionability, good faith and fair dealing;

(b) we express no opinion as to: the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in the Agreement which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or which are determined by a court or other tribunal to be in an unreasonable amount or to constitute a penalty;

(c) we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of (i) the provisions of the Agreement to the extent that they provide that provisions of the Agreement may only be waived in writing, (ii) the provisions of the Agreement to the extent that any recovery of attorneys’ fees is not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, (iii) the provisions of the Agreement to the extent

they state that the provisions are severable, (iv) the agreements of the Sellers to indemnify against costs or expenses or liability notwithstanding acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (v) the provisions of the Agreement regarding submission to the jurisdiction or venue of a particular court, the waiver of the right to jury trial, or service of process, and/or choice of law;
