W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Purchaser, Schilling Inc., Schilling and Schilling Robotics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), are parties to that Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 24, 2008 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Purchaser, Schilling Inc. and Schilling are also parties to that Unitholders Agreement of the Company, dated as of December 26, 2008 (the “Unitholders Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the FMC Units and the Schilling Units comprise all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the Company (the “Units”);
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Schilling Inc. caused Schilling Robotics Newco, LLC, a former Delaware limited liability company (“Newco”), to be liquidated and dissolved in accordance with Delaware law, and all Units of the Company owned by Newco were transferred to Schilling Inc., and are included among the Schilling Units;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Unitholders Agreement, Purchaser was granted a right to purchase the Schilling Units from the Sellers, and Purchaser has delivered a notice to each of the Sellers of its desire to exercise such option;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I



WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



PURCHASE, SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF UNITS
Section 1.1    Assignment. Each of Schilling Inc. and Schilling hereby sells, conveys, assigns, transfers and delivers the Schilling Units held by such Seller to Purchaser, together with all of such Seller’s respective rights and obligations as holders of Class A Units of the Company associated with the Schilling Units.
Section 1.2    Acceptance and Assumption. Purchaser hereby accepts the Schilling Units and all rights and obligations associated with the Schilling Units.
Section 1.3    Purchase Price. The Parties agree that the aggregate purchase price for the Schilling Units is $281,382,255.00 (such amount, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4 below, the “Purchase Price”) cash to be allocated between Schilling Inc. and Schilling in accordance with their relative ownership of Schilling Units immediately prior to the Closing Date.
Section 1.4    Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price has been calculated based on Section 2.4.2 of the Unitholders Agreement and that the Parties have agreed on the amount of the EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Multiple and the Sellers have provided the amount of the Schilling Counsel Fees in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(f). Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Sellers agree to deliver to the Purchaser the amount of the Net Debt as of the Closing Date accompanied by materials showing in reasonable detail the Sellers’ calculation of such amount (the “Proposed Calculation”).
(b)    The Purchaser shall have the right for 30 days following its receipt of the Proposed Calculation to object to the Proposed Calculation. Any objection made by the Purchaser shall be accompanied by materials showing in reasonable detail the Purchaser’s support for its position. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any rights to object under this Agreement unless the Purchaser furnishes its written objections, together with supporting materials, to the Sellers within such 30-day period following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Proposed Calculation. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall meet to resolve any differences in their respective positions with respect to the Proposed Calculation. If the Sellers and the Purchaser are unable to agree upon the Proposed Calculation within 30 days of the Sellers’ receipt of the Purchaser’s objections, the Purchaser or the Sellers may submit the matter to be resolved through an arbitration procedure conducted in accordance with Section 6.3. In the event that the Sellers fail to deliver the Proposed Calculation within 30 days of the Closing Date as required by Section 1.4(a), the Purchaser shall have the right following such 30 days after the Closing Date to deliver its proposed calculation of the Net Debt, and the Sellers shall have the right to furnish written objection to the Purchaser’s proposed calculation of the Net Debt so long as such written objections are delivered to the Purchaser within 15 days of the delivery of the Purchaser’s proposed calculation to the Sellers. Any further objections to any amount of Net Debt initially proposed by the Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be resolved in the same manner as described above in this Section 1.4(b).
(c)    Following the final determination of the Proposed Calculation as set forth in Section 1.4(b) above, (i) if the Purchase Price (as determined using the finally resolved


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



calculation of the Net Debt) is less than the Purchase Price paid at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3, then the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to such difference within five (5) Business Days of the date of the final determination and (ii) if the Purchase Price (as determined using the finally resolved calculation of the Net Debt) is greater than the Purchase Price paid at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to such difference within five (5) Business Days of the date of the final determination in the same proportion as the payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 (or as otherwise instructed in writing by the Sellers).
(d)    All amounts to be paid under this Section 1.4 shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price.
Section 1.5    Closing. The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), counsel to the Sellers, at 400 Capitol Mall, Suite 2400, Sacramento, CA 95814, or at such other place as Purchaser and the Sellers may agree, on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”).
Section 1.6    Deliveries. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) each of the Sellers will deliver to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the Schilling Units owned by such Seller, duly endorsed for transfer to Purchaser, against payment by Purchaser of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Schilling Inc.’s and Schilling’s account (as designated in writing by each of Schilling Inc. and Schilling prior to the date hereof), and (b) Schilling Inc. and Schilling shall deliver the other documents and agreements described in Article V of this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS
Except as set forth in the schedule prepared and delivered to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement setting forth specific exceptions to Schilling Inc.’s and Schilling’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (each section of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty by Schilling Inc. and Schilling) (the “Disclosure Schedule”), Schilling Inc. and Schilling, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows:

WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#

Schilling Inc. is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such other jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Schilling Inc. has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments of Schilling Inc. contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Execution, delivery and performance of such obligations by Schilling Inc. have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Schilling Inc. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any event or occurrence that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect (a) on the business, assets, liabilities, properties, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Schilling Inc., the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) that would prevent or materially alter or delay the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.4    No Conflict; Consents.

(b)    No consent, order, authorization, approval, declaration or filing is required on the part of any Seller for or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments of such Seller contemplated hereby. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Seller, the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Seller with any of the provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of Schilling Inc.’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind (collectively, a “Lien”)) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, permit, authorization, franchise, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which such Seller is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Seller, or its properties or assets.

(d)    Each of Schilling Inc. and the Company has paid in full all Taxes which are or have become due (whether or not shown on any Tax Return). There are no liens for Taxes upon any property or assets of either of Schilling Inc. or the Company except for liens for personal property Taxes not yet due and payable. No Audits are presently pending with regard to any Taxes or Tax Returns of Schilling Inc. or the Company, and no such Audit is threatened, and no deficiency or adjustment for any Taxes has been proposed, asserted, or assessed against Schilling Inc. or the Company. No material adjustments have been asserted as a result of any Audit which have not been resolved and fully paid, and no issue has been raised by any Tax Authority in any


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



Audit of Schilling Inc. or the Company that, if raised with respect to any other period not so audited, could be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any period not so audited. Neither Schilling Inc. nor the Company has ever received any notice of any claim made by a Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where Schilling Inc. or the Company, as applicable, does not file a Tax Return, that Schilling Inc. or the Company, as applicable, is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no outstanding requests, agreements, consents or waivers to extend the statutory period of limitations applicable to the assessment of any Taxes or deficiencies against Schilling Inc. or the Company, and no power of attorney granted by Schilling Inc. or the Company with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns is currently in force.

ARTICLE III    
 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
Except as set forth in the SEC Documents of Purchaser filed since January 1, 2010, the Purchaser represents and warrants to each of the Sellers as of the date hereof as set forth below.
Section 3.1    Organization. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Purchaser is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such other jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” with respect to Purchaser means any event or occurrence that has had or could reasonably be expected


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect (i) on the business, capitalization, assets, liabilities, properties, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Purchaser, or (ii) that would prevent or materially alter or delay the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 3.2    Authority Relative to this Agreement. Purchaser has full power and corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of Purchaser, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Purchaser are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser has reserved the funds necessary to complete the Transaction and will not be required to obtain the approval of any Person to satisfy its financial obligations on the Closing Date. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by Purchaser, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) law of general application relating to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, (b) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (c) federal or state laws limiting enforceability of the indemnification provisions in Article VI of this Agreement.
Section 3.3    No Conflict; Consent.
(a)    No notice to, filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of any Governmental Entity or any private third party is necessary for the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (a) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable state securities laws and the securities laws of any foreign country; (b) such filings and approvals as may be required in any foreign jurisdiction; (c) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may have already been filed or obtained; and (d) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, could not be reasonably expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    No consent, order, authorization, approval, declaration or filing is required on the part of Purchaser for or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments of Purchaser contemplated hereby. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or result in the creation of any Lien) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, permit, authorization, franchise, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Purchaser is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser, or its properties or assets.


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



Section 3.4    Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, investigation pending before any Government Entity or arbitration or mediation panel or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened in which Purchaser is a party that challenges this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein or could reasonably be expected to prevent, or materially alter or delay, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 3.5    Investment Representations.
(a)    Relationship to Company; Sophistication; Experience. Purchaser either (i) has a preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company and/or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons or (ii) the Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective purchase of the Schilling Units.
(b)    Restrictions on Transfer. Purchaser acknowledges that the Schilling Units must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than six months after a party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold, and, in the case of sales by affiliates of the Company, the sale being made through a “broker’s transaction” or a transaction directly with a “market maker” and the number of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time Purchaser wishes to sell the Schilling Units and, if so, Purchaser would be precluded from selling the Schilling Units under Rule 144 even if the six-month minimum holding period has been satisfied.
(c)    No Public Market. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Units, that there can be no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Units and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Units.
(d)    Exemption from Registration. Purchaser further acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, compliance with another registration exemption will be required; and that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and other than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk, and that, therefore, there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available or, if available, will allow such person to dispose of, or otherwise transfer, all or any portion of the Units.
(e)    Access to Information. Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management and the opportunity to inspect Company facilities and such books and records and material contracts as Purchaser deemed necessary to its determination to purchase the Schilling Units; provided, however, that such discussions or inspections shall not limit the ability of the Purchaser to seek recovery for Damages in accordance with Article VI.
(f)    Purchaser’s Liquidity. Purchaser (i) has no need for liquidity in Purchaser’s investment, (ii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Schilling Units for an indefinite period and (iii) at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g)    Offer and Sale. Purchaser understands that the transfer of the Schilling Units has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. Purchaser was not offered or sold the Schilling Units, directly or indirectly, by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertisement, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or other meeting whose attendees had been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.
(h)    Risks. Purchaser is aware that the Schilling Units are highly speculative and that there can be no assurance as to what return, if any, there may be. Purchaser is aware that the Company may issue additional securities in the future which could result in the dilution of Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Company.
(i)    Reliance. Purchaser has not relied and is not relying on any warranties, representations or other statements whatsoever, whether written or oral (from or by any Seller, the Company or any Person acting on their behalf) other than those expressly set out in this Agreement.
(j)    Investment Entity. Purchaser is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Schilling Units; such entity has its principal place of business as set forth in Section 8.4 hereof; and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Schilling Units.
(k)    Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 6.2    Claims Procedure.
(a)    Promptly after any Indemnified Party discovers circumstances or claims that would reasonably be expected to lead to Damages or any Damages actually incurred, including any Third Party Claims that might give rise to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Party alleged to be liable for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”), with a copy to each of the Sellers and Purchaser, a certificate signed by the Indemnified Party (a “Claim Certificate”) that such Damages exist or are reasonably expected to occur and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation or breach to which such item is related; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Certificate shall not relieve an Indemnitor from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim Certificate except to the extent and only to the extent the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay (in each case, subject to any applicable time limitation on the delivery of a Claim Certificate in Section 6.5).
(b)    The Indemnitor shall have fifteen (15) days after delivery of a Claim Certificate to object to any claim or claims made in such Claim Certificate in a written statement delivered to the Indemnified Party. In case the Indemnitor shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made by the Indemnified Party in the Claim Certificate, the Indemnified Party shall have fifteen (15) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnitor. If after such second fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party.
(c)    Claims for Damages specified in any Claim Certificate to which an Indemnitor shall not object in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof, claims for Damages covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 6.2(b), claims for Damages the validity and amount of which have been the subject of final determination as described in Section 6.3 and claims for Damages the validity and amount of which shall have been the subject of a final judicial determination (or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party) as described in Section 6.3 are hereinafter referred to as “Agreed Claims”.
(d)    Subject to Section 6.7, within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claims, the Indemnitor shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Indemnified Party not less than three (3) Business Days prior to such payment.
Section 6.3    Resolution of Conflicts and Arbitration.
(a)    If no agreement can be reached with respect to any claim for Damages under this Article VI after good faith negotiation by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.2(b), any Party may, by written notice to the other Parties, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Damages is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



be commenced until such amount is ascertained or the Parties agree to arbitration; such arbitration shall be administered by the Center for Public Resources Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (the “CPR”) in accordance with its then prevailing Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by an arbitrator or arbitrators as selected and described in Section 6.3(b). The arbitrator(s) shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator(s), to discover relevant information from the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator(s) shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent jurisdiction, should the arbitrator(s) determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law, including, without limitation, the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “USAA”), and with this Agreement, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law which shall set forth the basis for such decision. The decision of the arbitrator(s) as to the validity and amount of any claim in any Claim Certificate shall be final and not subject to judicial review and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Parties shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision.
(b)    For all disputes for which the aggregate disputed dollar amount is equal to or less than $3,000,000, the Parties shall agree upon a single arbitrator to oversee such dispute. If the Parties cannot agree on such arbitrator within 20 days after submitting the dispute for arbitration, then the dispute shall be managed by a single independent arbitrator to be chosen by the CPR. For all disputes for which the aggregate disputed dollar amount exceeds $3,000,000, such dispute shall be managed and ruled upon by a panel of three arbitrators. Purchaser and Schilling Inc. shall each name one of the arbitrators, and the third arbitrator shall be chosen by Purchaser and Schilling Inc. or, if Purchaser and Schilling Inc. cannot agree on such arbitrator within 20 days after submitting the dispute for arbitration, then the third arbitrator shall be an independent arbitrator selected by the CPR.
(c)    Any arbitration under this Article VI shall be governed by the USAA and shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware. The non-prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator, any fees and expenses of the CPR, and the expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the other Party to the arbitration.
Section 6.4    Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or demand or claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to Damages, the Indemnitor may assume and diligently pursue the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor only if such counsel is retained pursuant to the following sentence or if the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor, and provided, further, that in the event there are multiple Indemnified Parties in any matter the Indemnitor


WEST ###-###-####.6    #PageNum#



shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel unless an Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the other Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Claim Certificate (or such shorter period of time if the Indemnified Party is required to take action by applicable law) that the Indemnitor elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party or if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnitor, or available to the Indemnitor, but the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of the Indemnitor, shall have the right to defend at the expense of the Indemnitor the claim with counsel of its choosing. Prior to any settlement, the Indemnified Party shall send a written notice to the Indemnitor of any proposed settlement of any claim, which settlement the Indemnitor may reject, in its reasonable judgment within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject such notice within such fifteen (15)-day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such notice. Whether the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or the Indemnitor, on the other hand, shall have undertaken the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Person that has undertaken the defense of a Third Party Claim shall not admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party, respectively (which consent in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party agrees that Indemnitor shall have full and complete control over the conduct of such proceeding.
Section 6.5    Indemnity Period. No claim for indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(i) or Section 6.1(b)(i) of this Agreement may be made unless a Claim Certificate is given by the Party seeking such indemnification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought on or prior to April 1, 2013; provided, however, that the indemnity period for claims for indemnification from and against Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (i) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations contained in Sections 2.1 (Title), 2.2 (Organization and Authority), 2.3 (Capitalization), 2.4 (No Conflict; Consent), 2.5 (Validity and Enforceability), 2.7 (No Other Activities), 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authority Relative to this Agreement) and 3.3 (No Conflict; Consent) will survive indefinitely and (ii) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations contained in Sections 2.8 (Taxes), or any fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall survive until thirty (30) days after the applicable statute of limitations and (iii) Schilling Inc. Taxes shall survive until thirty (30) days after the applicable statute of limitations.

indemnification from and against Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations of Schilling Inc. contained in Section 2.8 (Taxes) or Section 6.1(a)(iii) exceed the Indemnification Basket, Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for such Agreed Claims for the aggregate amount of all such Agreed Claims, regardless of the Indemnification Basket, and provided, further, that the Indemnification Basket shall not apply to any claim for indemnification from and against Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (i) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations of Schilling Inc. contained in Sections 2.1 (Title), 2.2 (Organization and Authority), 2.3 (Capitalization), 2.4 (No Conflict; Consent), 2.5 (Validity and Enforceability), 2.7 (No Other Activities), or (ii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Indemnitor.
(b)    The provisions for indemnity contained in Section 6.1(b)(i) shall become effective only in the event that the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable damages for which Purchaser is liable under this Article VI exceeds the Indemnification Basket, and then only for the amount by which such indemnifiable damages exceed the Indemnification Basket; provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket shall not apply to any claim for indemnification from and against Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations of Purchaser contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authority Relative to this Agreement) or 3.3 (No Conflict; Consent) or (ii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Purchaser.
Section 6.7    Limitations on Indemnity. The Indemnified Parties entitlement to recover any Damages pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) and (b) shall be limited by the provisions of this Section 6.7 as follows:

Section 6.8    Contribution. To the extent amounts related to Agreed Claims are paid by Schilling or Schilling Inc., Schilling or Schilling Inc., as the case may be, shall not be entitled to recover such amounts by contribution from the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Schilling shall be prohibited from seeking indemnification from the Company or any indemnification agreement between Schilling and the Company as a result of the payment by Schilling of any Agreed Claims under this ARTICLE VI.
Section 6.9    Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, absent fraud or intentional
