Section 2.5 Consents to Certain Assignments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any asset, permit, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement or Law to which any Seller is a party or by which any Seller is bound, or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Sellers or, upon transfer, the Buyer under such asset, permit, claim or right. The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include making any monetary expenditure or granting any material accommodation, financial or otherwise, to any third party) to obtain any consents or waivers required to assign to the Buyer any Transferred Asset that requires the consent of a third party, without any conditions to such transfer or changes or modifications of terms thereunder. The Buyer agrees that the Sellers shall not have any liability to the Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom (other than liability arising from a breach of Section 3.3).

(b) If any such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include making any monetary expenditure or granting any material accommodation, financial or otherwise, to any third party) to obtain such consent following Closing. If, however, such consent is not obtained despite such efforts and (i) as a result thereof the Buyer shall be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such Transferred Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, or (ii) if any attempted assignment would (x) adversely affect the rights of any Seller thereunder and therefore the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights or (y) the Sellers would forfeit or otherwise lose the benefit of rights that the Sellers are entitled to retain, the Sellers and the Buyer shall cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement, as the Sellers and the Buyer shall agree, under which the Buyer would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Buyer; provided that each party shall pay its own expenses in the event that such cooperation and actions are required to preserve rights and benefits as contemplated above (i.e. in the case of Contracts that would be partially assigned or shared). The Sellers shall promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by the Sellers under such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder and the Buyer shall indemnify and promptly pay the Sellers for all liabilities of the Sellers associated with such Transferred Asset to the extent such liabilities would have been Assumed Liabilities hereunder if such Transferred Asset was assigned to the Buyer.

Section 2.6 Consideration. In full consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Transferred Assets to the Buyer, at the Closing, the Buyer Parent shall (a) pay (or cause to be paid by a Subsidiary) to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Seller Representative to the Buyer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to $18,141,899 (the “Purchase Price”) in immediately available funds in United States dollars and (b) assume the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.8.

Section 2.7 Closing. The sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, at 10:00 A.M. EST on the later of (i) July 1, 2015 and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article VII (other than such conditions as may, by their terms, only be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date), or at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as the Sellers and the Buyer mutually may agree in writing. The day on which the Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date”. The transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 A.M. New York, NY time on the Closing Date. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be executed and delivered in the United States. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Buyer Parent shall designate any changes to the entities to be listed on any applicable assignment and assumption documents (including the Bill of Sale and Assumption Agreement), and any edits to the forms attached hereto resulting therefrom shall be made prior to Closing.

Section 2.8 Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 45 calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Business (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) a calculation of Net Working Capital (“Closing Date Net Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the aggregate amount of all Debt of the Business (“Closing Date Debt”), and (iv) a calculation of Cash of the SLP Subsidiary (“Closing Date Cash”), in each case (except as set forth in the proviso below) (x) calculated as of the close of business on the Closing Date in accordance with the Accounting Principles and (y) without giving effect to the consummation of the acquisition of the Business by the Buyer, including any payments of cash in respect of the Purchase Price, the repayment of Debt, or other payments or any financing transactions in connection with the Closing or the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, (I) the Closing Balance Sheet shall reflect no changes in reserves (regardless of whether any such reserve is recorded as an offset to a current asset’s carrying value or is included as an accrued liability in the Closing Balance Sheet) from amounts contained in the Balance Sheet, other than changes therein attributable to changes in facts and circumstances occurring after the date of the Balance Sheet and (II) the Closing Balance Sheet shall not reflect any expense or liability for which Buyer is responsible under Section 11.1 of this Agreement. Following the Closing, the Buyer shall provide the Sellers and their representatives, upon reasonable request, access during normal business hours to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Business relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and shall cause the personnel of the Business to reasonably cooperate with the Sellers as may be reasonably required in connection with its review of the Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Business.

(b) If the Seller Representative shall disagree with the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt and/or Closing Date Cash, it shall notify the Buyer of such disagreement in writing (such written notice, a “Disagreement Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement and, to the extent information is available to the Seller Representative to make such a calculation, its calculation of each disputed item (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be in accordance with the Accounting Principles), within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. In the event that the Seller Representative does not provide such Disagreement Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, the Seller Representative shall be deemed to have agreed (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers) to the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt and Closing Date Cash and delivered by the Buyer, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller Representative (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers) for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such Disagreement Notice is timely provided, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt and/or Closing Date Cash, set forth in such Disagreement Notice. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then any such remaining disagreements shall be resolved by an independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing mutually selected by the Buyer and the Seller Representative (such firm the “Neutral Accountant”). Each of the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt and/or Closing Date Cash to the extent relevant thereto, the Closing Balance Sheet in writing to the Neutral Accountant and to each other. The Neutral Accountant shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably possible (which the parties hereto agree should not be later than sixty (60) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Neutral Accountant). The Neutral Accountant shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Cash and/or require adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Neutral Accountant) in order to be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions of the defined terms used in Annex 1. The determination of the Neutral Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The date on which Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Date Debt and/or are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.8(b) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date”. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Seller Representative.

(c) The “Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(b)), minus $11,110,000, plus (ii) $4,046,065, minus Closing Date Debt (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(b), plus (iii) Closing

Date Cash (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(b)), minus $2,187,964. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount and if the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such Adjustment Amount. The Adjustment Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.8(d) or (e), as applicable.

(d) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number (such amount, the “Increase Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, the Buyer shall pay the Increase Amount in cash to the Seller Representative on behalf of each Seller.

(e) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the “Deficit Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Determination Date, the Seller Representative shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Deficit Amount.

Section 2.9 Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties hereto agree to allocate the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into under applicable Tax laws) among the Transferred Assets (including goodwill and other intangibles) in accordance with U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 1060. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon such allocation as soon as possible after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date. If the parties hereto are unable to resolve any material differences with regard to the allocation pursuant to this Section 2.10, then any disputed matters will be finally and conclusively determined by the Neutral Accountant. If engaged, the parties hereto shall instruct the Neutral Accountant to determine (based solely upon representations of the Buyer and Sellers and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute, and to render a written report as to the disputed matters and the resulting allocation of the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into under applicable Tax laws), and other relevant items, which report shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand. The parties hereto agree to file all Tax Returns, including Form 8594 in a manner consistent with such allocations and not to take any position before any taxing authority that is inconsistent with such allocations.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”), the Sellers hereby represent and warrant to the Buyer, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, on a joint and several basis as follows:

Section 3.1 Organization and Qualification. Each Seller and the SLP Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and (where applicable) in good standing under the laws of the

jurisdiction in which it is organized and has all necessary corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate the Transferred Assets and the SLP Subsidiary Assets and to carry on the Business as it is now being conducted. Each Seller and the SLP Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and (where applicable) is in good standing, solvent, and is not under or subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization, concurso mercantil, dissolution, liquidation or any similar procedure, and is not generally in default of its obligations, in the jurisdictions where the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the SLP Subsidiary Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except, in each case, for any such failures that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No other jurisdiction has given notice to any Seller or the SLP Subsidiary indicating that such Seller or the SLP Subsidiary, as applicable, should be qualified in any other jurisdiction. Sellers have made available to the Buyer accurate and complete copies of the Charter Documents of the SLP Subsidiary. Schedule 3.1 lists all of the officers and directors of the SLP Subsidiary.

Section 3.2 Authority. Each Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and (subject to the approvals described in Section 3.3) thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

The Sellers will not, for a period of three years following the Closing Date (or, if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, for a period of three years following the date of termination), without the prior written consent of the Buyer, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly, or through its present or future Affiliates, solicit (other than a solicitation by general advertisement) any Transferred Employee or other employee of the Business as conducted by Buyer, to terminate his or her employment with the Buyer and its Affiliates. The parties agree that any remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.11 would be inadequate, and that the other party would be entitled to injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that this restriction on any party is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the other parties, the parties agree that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions which such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate properly to protect such other parties.

Section 5.12 Bulk Transfer Laws. The Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Sellers with the provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Buyer.

Section 5.13 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, neither of the parties hereto shall issue any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without prior approval of the other parties hereto, except as and to the extent that such party reasonably believes, based on advice of counsel, that such public disclosure is required by applicable Law.

Section 5.14 Exclusivity. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers shall not take or permit any of their respective Affiliates to take, any action to solicit, encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into any agreement with, any Person (other than Buyer and/or its Affiliates and Representatives) concerning any purchase of the Business or any material portion thereof whether by sale of assets, equity, merger or other similar transaction (each such transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”). Sellers shall notify Buyer in writing promptly (but in no event later than 72 hours) after receipt by Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives of any proposal or offer from any Person other than the Buyer to effect an Acquisition Transaction or any request for non-public information relating to the Business or for access to the properties, books or records of the Business, and the material terms of any such proposal or offer, or amendment, modification or supplement thereto. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of any material changes in the status or terms of any such proposal, offer or request. Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons other than Buyer conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Transaction. Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any Contract to which Sellers are a party with respect to any such Acquisition Transaction.

Section 5.15 Further Transfers and Actions. The Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as the Buyer may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to the Buyer of the Transferred Assets, the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities and the conduct by the Buyer of the Business (including with respect to obtaining and maintaining all licenses, permits, authorizations, accreditations and consents necessary in connection therewith or providing copies of records used by the Business), and the Sellers shall execute such documents as may be necessary to assist the Buyer in preserving or perfecting its rights in the Transferred Assets and its ability to conduct the Business. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include making any monetary expenditure or granting any material accommodation, financial or otherwise, to any third party) to assist the Buyer (a) in obtaining a license to the background intellectual property of Torque and More GmbH (“TAM”) provided under the TAM Project Agreement with Veyance Technologies Europe, d.o.o. dated July 1, 2014 on substantially the same terms as provided in such agreement (it being understood that Buyer shall be required to pay a royalty to TAM consistent with such

agreement), (b) in partially assigning or otherwise partitioning the rights and obligations under the John Deere & Company Supply Agreement with Veyance Technologies, Inc. dated June 1, 2012 or other similar agreements, and (c) in partially assigning or otherwise partitioning the rights and obligations under the Client Services Agreement by and between Adecco USA Inc. and Veyance Technologies, Inc. dated November 16, 2009. In addition, (a) to the extent that any Marks included in the Transferred Assets are not held by the Sellers but are held by an Affiliate of the Sellers, the Sellers (i) will procure that their applicable Affiliates that hold such Marks transfer such Marks to Buyer at Closing and (ii) will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining such documents as are reasonably necessary to record such transfers, (b) between the date hereof and the Closing, the Sellers will make any filing that is required to be made with respect to any Patent application that is listed on Schedule 3.12 of the Disclosure Schedules (or obtain an appropriate extension to the deadline for such filing) and will, to the extent practical and legally permissible, provide Buyer with an opportunity to review and comment on each such filing at least three Business Days prior to its submission and (c) prior to the Closing, the Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include making any monetary expenditure or granting any material accommodation, financial or otherwise, to any third party) to obtain a ratification that the landlord under the SLP Assembly Facility Lease has executed such SLP Assembly Facility Lease.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1 Tax Matters.

(a) The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, in a manner consistent with past practices of the SLP Subsidiary (except where otherwise required by applicable Law), all Tax Returns of the SLP Subsidiary for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date but which are due to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into account all applicable extensions of time for filing) (such Tax Returns, “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) and all Tax Returns of the SLP Subsidiary for all Straddle Periods (such Tax Returns, “Straddle Period Tax Returns”). The Buyer agrees that it shall cause all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns to be delivered to the Seller Representative no later than fifteen (15) Business Days before the due date (after giving effect to any applicable extensions of time for filing) for such Tax Returns, so that the Seller Representative has a meaningful opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided in writing by the Seller Representative to the Buyer so long as such comments are received by the Buyer at least three Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall cause the SLP Subsidiary to timely file all Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns and, without limiting the Buyer’s rights to indemnification for Taxes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Returns and, to the extent apportioned pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iii), to that part of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date, Straddle Period Tax Returns, pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, timely remit all Taxes due in connection therewith in accordance with applicable Law. Promptly after filing, the Buyer shall cause a copy of each as-filed Pre-Closing Tax Return and Straddle Period Tax Return to be delivered to the Seller Representative, together with a receipt or other evidence of the timely payment of the Taxes due in connection therewith and, in the case of a Straddle Period Tax Return, a computation of the

amount of Tax with respect to any Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date. Except as explicitly set forth in this Article VI, the Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all Taxes arising from or with respect to the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business (including Taxes of the SLP Subsidiary) that are incurred in, or with respect to, any period, or any portion of any period, ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Taxes”), but only to the extent that such Taxes were not taken into account in the final determination of Closing Date Net Working Capital or Closing Date Debt. In addition, the Buyer shall indemnify Sellers for (i) all Taxes arising from or with respect to the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business (including Taxes of the SLP Subsidiary) that are incurred in, or with respect to, any period, or any portion of any period, following the Closing Date and (ii) the amount by which the actual amount of Pre-Closing Taxes is less than the Closing Date Accrued Taxes.

(b) The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns and to deal with any Action or other proceedings related to such Tax Returns or Taxes of, or with respect to, the SLP Subsidiary. The Buyer shall retain all such Tax Returns and accounting and Tax records and information pertaining thereto until expiration of the period for assessment and collection of Tax for the relevant period. The cooperation of the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall include the retention of and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the provision of such powers of attorney as may be necessary to allow for the control of Tax audits or proceedings as described in Section 6.1(c).

(c) The Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing upon receipt by the SLP Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments or other Actions relating to Taxes for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2 or which could otherwise adversely affect the Sellers (“Tax Contest Claims”). Such notification to the Seller Representative shall be made within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice from the relevant Governmental Authority and shall include a copy of any correspondence received from such Governmental Authority and describe in reasonable detail the nature of such Tax Contest Claim. Failure to notify the Seller Representative in accordance with this Section 6.1(c) will not relieve the Sellers of any liability that they may have to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, except to the extent (1) the defense of such Action is prejudiced by the Buyer’s failure to give notice, or (2) the Buyer fails to notify the Seller Representative of such indemnification claim prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.1. The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax Contest Claim. The Seller Representative shall have the right to control, at its expense, the conduct of any Tax Contest Claim relating solely to Taxes for which the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2; provided, that the Seller Representative shall keep the Buyer informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest Claim, the Seller Representative shall provide copies to the Buyer of all material written correspondence with a taxing authority relevant to the proceedings, the Buyer shall be entitled at its expense to

participate in any such Tax Contest Claim and the Seller Representative shall not: (x) compromise or settle any such Tax Contest Claim, (y) accept any final determination or resolution or (z) agree to any payment, refund or credit of Tax without, in each case, obtaining the Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Seller Representative does not elect (or is not entitled) to control the conduct of a Tax Contest Claim, then Buyer shall keep the Seller Representative informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest Claim, the Buyer shall provide copies to the Seller Representative of all written correspondence with a taxing authority relevant to the proceedings, the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest Claim and the Buyer shall not (A) compromise or settle any such Tax Contest Claim, (B) accept any final determination or resolution or (C) agree to any payment, refund or credit of Tax without, in each case, obtaining the Seller Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller Representative shall reimburse the Buyer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending such Tax Contest Claim. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.1(c) and Section 8.4, this Section 6.1(c) shall control.

(d) Certain Conventions for Determining Taxes. The parties hereto agree, for purposes of preparing all relevant Tax Returns relating to the SLP Subsidiary, to use the following conventions:

(i) The Buyer and the Seller Representative agree that any bonuses paid or payable by the SLP Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any fees, expenses, premiums and penalties with respect to the prepayment of debt and the write-off or acceleration of the amortization of deferred financing costs, any legal, investment banking and accounting fees and all deductions related to each of the foregoing are, unless otherwise required by Law, each properly allocable to the taxable period (or portion thereof) of the SLP Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries ending on the Closing Date.

(ii) Any gains, income, deductions, losses or other items resulting from any transactions outside the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date, but after the Closing, shall not be treated as occurring on the Closing Date.

(iii) If the SLP Subsidiary is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the portion of any Taxes that are payable for such Straddle Period and relate to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of ad valorem, personal or intangible property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (B) in the case of any other Tax (and the amount of any refund of or credit for such Taxes and any other Tax items), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable computed on closing of the books basis as if the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(e) Without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause the SLP Subsidiary not to, (i) amend any Tax Return; make, revoke or

change any other Tax election; adopt or change any Tax accounting method or period or (ii) initiate any voluntary Tax disclosure or participate in any Tax amnesty program, in each case that would be reasonably likely to increase the amount of the entitlement of any Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Except to the extent reflected as an asset in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.8(b)), any interest in or right to a Tax refund or credit that is an Excluded Asset under Section 2.2(f) shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers. To the extent that the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the SLP Subsidiary) receives or utilizes any such refund or credit, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) an amount equal to such refund or credit within ten (10) days of receipt or utilization of such refund or credit, and shall provide a reasonably detailed description and calculation thereof. The parties hereto agree that any Tax refund or credit for the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined using the methodologies set forth in Section 6.1(d)(iii). The Buyer and its Affiliates shall, and shall cause the SLP Subsidiary to, promptly take all reasonable actions (including those actions reasonably requested by the Seller Representative) to file for and obtain any Tax refund to which the Sellers are entitled under this Section 6.1(f). The Buyer shall, upon request, permit the Seller Representative to participate in the prosecution of any such refund claim and shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such refund claim without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative.

(g) The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each be responsible for preparing and filing all necessary Tax Returns and other required documentation relating to Transfer Taxes in accordance with applicable Law that each party is required by Law to prepare and file. The payment of Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Sellers, provided however that the Buyer shall be solely liable for, and the Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers against, any such Transfer Taxes to the extent they are recoverable by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or creditable against Taxes otherwise owed by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of the preceding sentence, to the extent the recoverability or creditability of any Transfer Taxes depends on the Buyer or any of its Affiliates being properly registered in the jurisdiction imposing such Transfer Taxes, it shall be assumed that the Buyer or the applicable Affiliate is so registered. To the extent reasonably requested by either party, each other party to this Agreement shall cooperate in the filing and join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other required documentation. The Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to minimize any applicable Transfer Taxes.

(h) At or prior to the Closing, the US Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a certificate of non-foreign status that complies with Section 1445 of the Code.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Sellers. The Sellers shall jointly and severally save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”) to the extent arising out of or resulting from, or related to:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (without regard to materiality qualifiers or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained therein for purposes of determining the amount of Losses attributable thereto (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred));

(b) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement by any Seller or the SLP Subsidiary contained in this Agreement; and

Section 8.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from, or related to:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (without regard to materiality qualifiers or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained therein for purposes of determining the amount of Losses attributable thereto (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred));

(b) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

Section 8.4 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) in or, at its option and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense thereof (including any appeal or settlement), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.4(b) if (i) such claim involves potential criminal liability, (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate for a single counsel to represent all parties under applicable standards of legal ethics, (iii) such claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party fails to defend such action in a timely and reasonably manner or the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the amount of the Third Party Claim if successful would be likely to exceed the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Agreement. In any Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party, (x) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel and accountants at its own expense, (y) to the extent the Indemnified Party is not represented by its own counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall make itself reasonably available to the Indemnified Party to discuss the status of such Third Party Claim, and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim, but in the case of clauses (y) an (z), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and subject to the further limitations set forth in Section 8.4(e).

(c) If notice is given to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 30 days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall (upon notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense of such claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party may elect to participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense.

(d) No compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the other party’s prior written consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person or any other wrongdoing, (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates receive an unconditional release from all Liabilities with respect to such claim. The Indemnified Party may only settle a Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party fails to defend such Third Party Claim in a timely and reasonably manner.

(e) All of the parties shall reasonably cooperate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which a claim for indemnification may be sought under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 and each of the Buyer and the Sellers (or a duly authorized Representative of such party) shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide records or information to the extent the provision of such information would cause the attorney-client or similar privilege to be waived.

(f) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

Section 8.5 General Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim for indemnification may be asserted against either party for breach of any representation or warranty contained herein unless written notice of such claim is received by such party, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.1, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally and fully resolved.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) the Sellers shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations, Section 3.13 (Taxes) and Section 3.19(c) (Product Liability) (for each of which Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from the first dollar of Loss) and except as set forth in clause (ii) below with respect to any breaches of representations and warranties in Section 3.14 (Environmental)) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses, other than those subject to clause (ii) below, that may be recovered from the Sellers equals or exceeds $220,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Sellers thereafter shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of such amount; (ii) with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14 (Environmental), the Sellers shall only be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of each dollar of Losses arising out of, resulting from, or related to such breaches (and Buyer shall be responsible for and bear the costs of the remaining 50%) until the aggregate amount of such Losses from all such breaches equals or exceeds $350,000, in which case the Sellers shall thereafter be liable for all of such Losses in excess of such amount (subject to the limitations below); (iii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations, Section 3.13 (Taxes) and Section 3.14 (Environmental)), shall be an amount equal to $2,640,000; (iv) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (other than for breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations and Section 3.13 (Taxes)), shall be an amount equal to $3,840,000; (v) the

Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss to the extent that the accruals or reserves for the category of such Loss on the Closing Balance Sheet or the Balance Sheet exceed the Loss and the actual Liabilities in the accrued or reserved category (except to the extent any such Loss relates to an Excluded Liability), and (vi) the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss to the extent that a specific accrual or reserve for the amount of such Loss was included in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of fraud, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which any party or their respective Affiliates are obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties hereto (or their Affiliates and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns), relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) For all purposes of this Article VIII, “Losses” shall be calculated net of (i) any insurance or other recoveries payable to and actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (net of direct collection expenses) in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification and (ii) any Tax benefit actually received by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such amounts.

(d) The Buyer and the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate such claim.

Section 8.6 Tax Matters. The parties hereto agree to treat any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.7 Exclusivity. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Sellers in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and except with respect to claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, from and after the Closing the rights of the parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto, and such parties, on behalf of themselves and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, waive any rights and claims they may have against the other party, whether in law or equity, relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by the parties hereto include, without limitation, claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Laws, claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, breach of implied covenants, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty.

Section 8.8 Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.

(a) It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that neither party hereto or any of such party’s Affiliates or Representatives is making any representation or

warranty whatsoever (including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness), oral or written, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other agreements, certificates and documents contemplated hereby, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates or Representatives, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other agreements, certificates and documents contemplated hereby.

(b) In connection with the Buyer’s investigation of the Business, the Buyer has received certain estimates, projections and other forecasts regarding the Business and the Transferred Assets, including forecasts of future performance of the Business. The Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts, that the Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties and that the Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from relying on the express representations of Seller set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, unless expressly set forth herein, no Seller makes any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts).

Section 8.9 Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt performance of all amounts owing by the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired by (i) any amendment, modification, supplement to, restatement or variation of this Agreement or any waiver or departure from its terms or any assignment of this Agreement or any portion hereof, (ii) any discharge, modification, settlement, compromise or other action in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, including any acceptance or refusal of any offer or performance with respect to the same, (iii) any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof or any security for any of the foregoing, or (iv) any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of what Guaranteed Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application.

(b) Guarantor hereby waives (i) presentment, demand for payment, demand for performance, protest and notice of any other kind, including, without limitation, notice of non-payment or other non-performance, protest, dishonor, acceptance hereof, and of any of the matters referred to in this Section 8.9 and of any rights to consent thereto, (ii) any right to require the Buyer, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor hereunder, to proceed against, or to exhaust or have resort to any security from the Sellers or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations, or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right or (iii) any defense based on or afforded by any applicable Law that limits the liability of or exonerates guarantors or sureties or that may in any other way conflict with the terms of this Section 8.9.

(c) In connection with the guarantee provided in this Section 8.9, this Agreement shall be effective prior to the delivery of the Guarantor’s signature page, provided that the Buyer may terminate this Agreement if such executed signature page is not delivered by the Guarantor prior to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on June 2, 2015.

Section 8.10 Environmental Matters. Buyer shall notify Sellers within thirty days after it or its Affiliates becomes aware of any circumstance for which indemnification is reasonably likely to be sought that includes Remedial Action (provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice within 30 days shall not relieve the Sellers of any obligations hereunder to the extent not actually prejudiced thereby). The Sellers shall have the right to control and perform any Remedial Action taken in response to any claim for indemnification hereunder (it being understood that such Remedial Action shall only be required to be conducted to the minimum extent required by Environmental Law), and Buyer shall ensure that Sellers are granted full access and control of Remedial Actions for which Sellers have provided notice of their election to perform; provided, however that Sellers shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the business of Buyer while conducting such Remedial Actions. “Remedial Action” means any action to investigate, monitor, remove, remediate, respond to, and/or correct environmental conditions for which indemnification is or may be sought. Any breach of this Section 8.10 by Buyer shall relieve Seller of its obligation to indemnify Buyer with respect to any environmental related matter to the extent that Seller is actually prejudiced thereby.

Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed to contain or imply any restriction, covenant, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking of any party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than those expressly set forth herein or therein or in any document required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, and none shall be deemed to exist or be inferred with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding any oral agreement of the parties or their Representatives to the contrary, no party to this Agreement shall be under any legal obligation to enter into or complete the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each of the parties.

Section 11.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. 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 legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Article VIII.

Section 11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.

Section 11.9 Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof shall be exclusively and finally settled by arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “AAA Rules”). Any party may initiate the arbitration, as provided in the AAA Rules. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, United States of America, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitral panel shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York. Except as agreed by the parties, the arbitral panel shall have no power to alter or modify any terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to render any award that, by its terms or effects, would alter or modify any term or provision of this Agreement. The arbitral panel shall be composed of three arbitrators, one to be selected by the claimant party to the dispute (or, if there is more than one claimant to the dispute, by the claimant parties, unanimously); one to be selected by the respondent party (or, if there is more than one respondent to the dispute, by the respondent parties, unanimously); and one to be jointly appointed by the two party-appointed arbitrators. If, within 15 Business Days, the two previously-selected arbitrators cannot agree on the selection of the third arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA pursuant to the AAA Rules. Once the arbitral panel has been composed, the arbitrators shall act as neutrals and not as party arbitrators, and no party shall engage in any ex parte communication with any member of the arbitral panel. Each party shall bear its own attorney fees, expenses, and costs.

The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

Section 11.11 Personal Liability. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any direct or indirect stockholder of the Sellers or the Buyer or any officer, director, employee, Representative or investor of either party hereto.

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 the Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of the Buyer without the prior consent of the Sellers and; provided further, that the Sellers may assign any of its rights under this Agreement, including the right to receive the Purchase Price, to one or more Affiliates of the Sellers without the consent of the Buyer and; provided still further, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder.

Accordingly, each of the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate New York State or federal court), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties further hereby waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 11.14 Currency. All references to “dollars” or “$” or “US$” in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement refer to United States dollars, which is the currency used for all purposes in this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 11.15 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.
