Buyer is familiar with investments of the nature of the Securities, understands that this investment involves substantial risks, has substantial knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating, and has evaluated, the merits and risks inherent in purchasing the Securities, and is able to bear such risks.

Section 4.7.WARN Act. Buyer is purchasing the Companies as a going concern. Buyer does not anticipate closing any material site of employment currently operated by the Companies or the termination of employment of more than 50 current employees of the Companies at any Facility, and Buyer is not aware of any event following the Closing that would require the Companies to provide notice to current employees of the Companies under the WARN Act.

Section 4.8.Reconciliation. At the request of Buyer and in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Companies have issued white papers relating to the Reconciliation and have issued their most recent Financial Statements with a note incorporating the Reconciliation. The Reconciliation and the white papers relating thereto were prepared based on guidance and assistance from EY, Buyer’s external accounting advisors. Seller expressly disclaims any responsibility regarding the Reconciliation or the GAAP policies or interpretations applied in connection with the preparation of the same; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not limit the Seller’s representations and warranties regarding certain financial information provided to EY as set forth in Section 3.10(b). Seller’s sole representations regarding its financial statements and accounting standards are based on the Financial Statements and are set forth in Sections 3.10 and 3.11. Except for Losses relating to the information described in Seller’s representation and warranties set forth in Section 3.10(b), Buyer assumes responsibility with respect to the preparation or use of the Reconciliation.

Section 5.1.Use of Names.

a.Trade Names, Trademarks and Domain Names. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 3.12 to the contrary, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates is conveying any ownership rights to Buyer for, or licensing Buyer to use, any of the trade names, trademarks, service marks, service names, assumed names, brand names or Internet domain names of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the corporate name of IPC), including, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights to the names “FCC,” “FCC Environmental,” “FCC Environmental LLC” or any derivation or variation thereof or any corporate name that includes any of the foregoing names, (all such names together, the “Reserved Names”).

i.After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 Business Days after the Closing) change the name of FCC Environmental to eliminate any reference to the Reserved Names.

ii.After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly (but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing) destroy all stocks of written, printed or other graphic materials in its possession or control that use or embody any names or marks of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies), including the Reserved Names, or modify such materials to remove or cover over any such names or marks.

iii.After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly (but in no event later than 30 days after the Closing) remove or cause to be removed any links from any of the Companies’ websites on the World Wide Web to any website maintained by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates (other than IPC) and cease the use of any metatags utilizing any Reserved Name or any confusingly similar word or phrase to direct traffic to a website not owned by the owner of the Reserved Names.

iv.After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly (but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing) (A) repaint all of the Companies’ vehicles displaying any names or marks of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than IPC), including the Reserved Names, or otherwise remove from such vehicles or permanently cover over any such names or marks; (B) remove and destroy any signage located on any of the Companies’ facilities that contains any names or marks of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than IPC), including the Reserved Names; and (C) remove or cause to be removed the Reserved Names from all Permits, including, without limitation, any permits or licenses relating to the plants, vehicles or machinery used by the Companies.

v.Upon the request of Seller from time to time, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certification of a senior officer of Buyer attesting to the extent to which Buyer has complied with obligations under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

b.Additional Remedies. If Buyer violates any of its obligations under this Section 5.1, Seller and its Affiliates may proceed against it or either Company at law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Buyer acknowledges that a violation of this Section 5.1 may cause Seller and its Affiliates irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by monetary damages. Buyer therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 5.1, Seller and each of its Affiliates shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that it or they may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Buyer or the Companies to prevent any violations of this Section 5.1, without the necessity of posting a bond.

Section 5.2.Tax Matters.

a.Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Pre-Closing Tax Returns with respect to the Companies or their respective assets. Seller will provide Buyer with copies of any such Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any extensions thereto) in the case of income Tax Returns and as soon as practicable in the case of all other Tax Returns. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid any Taxes due with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, except for Taxes included as liabilities on the Latest Balance Sheet and such Taxes that are incurred in the ordinary course after the date of the Latest Balance Sheet and on or before the Closing Date (which Taxes Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid). As soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s request, Buyer will deliver to Seller such information, and will make available such representatives of the Companies and of Buyer, as Seller may reasonably request to enable Seller or its representatives to complete all Tax Returns for which Seller has responsibility under this Section 5.2, to address any audit by any taxing authority or other Tax controversy with regard to any taxable year or taxable period for which it has responsibility or liability under this Agreement or otherwise to enable Seller to satisfy accounting, Tax or other requirements.

b.Post-Closing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Straddle Returns and Post-Closing Tax Returns with respect to the Companies or their respective assets, as applicable. Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. For purposes of this Article 5, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts or payroll, be deemed to equal 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 (ii) in

the case of any Tax that is based upon or related to income or receipts or payroll, be deemed to equal the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

 

c.Amended Tax Returns. After the Closing, except as required by Law, neither Company nor Buyer shall, without the prior written consent of Seller, (i) file or permit to be filed any amended Tax Return by or on behalf of such Company for any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) make, change or revoke any Tax election or take any other action with respect to any Company if the effect of such action would reasonably expected to increase the amount of Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 5.2(a).

d.Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in Section 3.14 shall cause Seller to be liable to Buyer for any amounts relating to any Taxes for which Seller is not expressly liable pursuant to this Section 5.2.

The Companies shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened tax audits or assessments that could reasonably affect the Tax Liabilities of such company for which Seller would be liable under this Section 5.2 (“Seller’s Tax Matter”). In the event Seller is not so promptly notified and such failure to notify is prejudicial to Seller’s ability to defend such audit or assessment, Seller shall be relieved of any such liability under this Agreement.

g.Control of Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall have the sole right to represent the interest of the Companies in connection with any Seller’s Tax Matter (including the right to choose the Companies’ representation in any audit, contest or administrative or judicial proceeding involving a Seller’s Tax Matter, the right to choose the manner in which such company contests any assessment or proposed disallowance or claim in any Seller’s Tax Matter and the right to settle or otherwise compromise any Seller’s Tax Matter).

i.Remittance of Refunds. If Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer receives a refund of any Taxes of any of the Companies that Seller is responsible for hereunder or if Seller or any Affiliate of Seller receives a refund of any Taxes of any of the Companies that Buyer or either Company is responsible for hereunder with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, the Party receiving such Tax refund shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund, remit it to the Party who has responsibility for such Taxes hereunder, including all applicable interest paid by the Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, if any, and net of all Taxes imposed or incurred by such Party with respect to such refund. For the purpose of this Section 5.2(i), the term “refund” shall include a reduction in Tax and the use of an overpayment as a credit or other Tax offset, and receipt of a refund shall occur upon the filing of a Tax Return or an adjustment thereto using such reduction, overpayment or offset or upon the receipt of cash.

j.Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer when due without withholding from any consideration or amounts payable to Seller, and Buyer shall at its expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, fees and charges.

Section 5.3.Retention of and Access to Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain, and shall cause the Companies to retain, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, the books and records delivered to Buyer.

c.Confidentiality. Each of Parent and Seller agrees that it will not disclose to any Person or use for Parent’s or Seller’s own purpose in connection with a Restricted Business, any Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” will be interpreted to mean the non-public, confidential or proprietary information of the Companies and its Subsidiaries relating to the Restricted Business, including, the identities of the current, former or prospective employees, suppliers and customers of the Companies or the Subsidiaries, development, transition and transformation plans, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, financial and business plans, financial data, pricing information, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations and identities of sales representatives and distributors, new and existing customer or supplier programs and services, customer terms, customer service and integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment; provided, that Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, Parent or any of their Affiliates; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by Seller, Parent or any of their Affiliates from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; provided, further, that Parent and/or Seller must (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provide prompt written notice to Buyer and the Companies of any relevant process or pleadings that could lead to such an order and (ii) cooperate with Buyer and the Companies (at the sole cost and expense of Buyer and the Companies) to contest, object to or limit such a request and, in any case, use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the revelation of such Confidential Information to such court order and the scope thereof.

e.Buyer Prohibited Actions. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any senior-level employee of Seller or its Affiliates to leave the employ of Seller or its Affiliates; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be prohibited from (i) conducting generalized solicitations for employees (which solicitations are not specifically targeted at employees of Seller) through the use of media advertisements, professional search firms or otherwise, or (ii) employing any person in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement

f.Enforcement; Remedies. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Sections 5.5(a), 5.5(b) or 5.5(e) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. The covenants contained in this Section 5.5 are covenants independent of any other provisions of this Agreement and the existence of any claim that any Party may allege against another Party to this Agreement, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to or otherwise prevent the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.5, which provisions shall be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by the Party seeking such enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree that the remedies of the Parties at law for any breach or threat of breach of the provisions of this Section 5.5 will be inadequate and that Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 5.5 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 5.5 without the necessity of posting a bond or other security.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) to cooperate in connection with the preparation of the financial statements and pro forma information requested from PWC pursuant to that certain proposal letter dated July 16, 2014 (the “Proposal Letter”); provided, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller does not control or assume any responsibility for the conduct of PWC. Seller also agrees to waive any conflict that might arise from the preparation of the financial statements or pro forma information contemplated by the proposal letter or the use of such financial information by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that each of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer. Seller shall

also use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer and the Companies in making such filings or providing such notices to Governmental Authorities as may be required in connection with the transfer or update of an existing Permit of the Companies.

Each Party shall provide the other Party with copies of invoices or other reasonably appropriate supporting documentation evidencing costs or expenses borne by such Party in connection with the Shared Costs.

d.the failure to collect 100% of the aggregate value of the accounts receivable existing prior to the Closing from Omega to the Companies or its Subsidiaries;

g.the investigation, remediation, treatment, storage, disposal, release or cleanup of Hazardous Materials occurring or present on or migrating from the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property prior to the Closing, but only to the extent such investigation, remediation, treatment, storage, disposal or cleanup is: (i) ordered by a Governmental Authority; (ii) required under applicable Environmental Law and written notice is provided to an applicable Governmental Authority (with copy to Seller); or (iii)

reasonably necessary to prevent or control an actual or alleged endangerment or threat to human health or the environment from actual or potential exposure to Hazardous Materials (and notice is thereafter provided to an applicable Governmental Authority with copy to Seller); provided, that any of the notice requirements set forth in this Section 6.2(g) may be waived by Seller (at its reasonable discretion) at the request of Buyer.

 

Section 6.3.Indemnification by Buyer. If the Closing occurs and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 6, Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that the Seller Indemnified Parties suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, arising from or in connection with:

d.the Parent Company Guarantees.

  

Section 6.4.Limitations on Indemnity.

a.Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated pursuant to Section 6.2 (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations, Section 6.2(c), Section 6.2(d), Section 6.2(e) or the Environmental Indemnification and Section 7.6 which shall not be subject to the Claim Threshold or the Deductible) only (i) with respect to any claim resulting in Buyer Indemnified Party Losses exceeding Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (“Claim Threshold”); provided that any such claim shall not comprise an aggregation of Buyer Indemnified Party Losses arising from unrelated matters, and (ii) to the extent that Buyer Indemnified Party Losses which exceed the threshold set forth in clause (i) of this sentence incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties exceed in the aggregate One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible”), and only to the extent of such amount in excess of such Deductible. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be obligated pursuant to Section 6.2 only with respect to Buyer Indemnified Party Losses incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the aggregate amount by which the aggregate amount of claims that meet the Claim Threshold exceeds the Deductible. Further, Seller shall not be obligated for any Buyer Indemnified Party Losses (i) once Seller has paid the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such Losses an aggregate amount in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “General Indemnification Limit”); provided, that the General Indemnification Limit shall not apply to Buyer Indemnified Party Losses that are Environmental Liabilities (including Environmental Actions or any actual or alleged liabilities under any Environmental Law, including, without limitation any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.16 or claims made pursuant to Section 6.2(f) or 6.2(g) (collectively, the “Environmental Indemnification”); and (ii) once Seller has paid an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) under the Environmental Indemnification (the “Environmental Indemnification Limit” and, together with the General Indemnification Limit, the “Maximum Indemnification Limit”). For the avoidance of doubt, amounts paid by Seller in respect of claims falling within the scope of the Environmental Indemnification Limit shall not be applied towards the General Indemnification Limit,

and amounts paid by Seller in respect of claims falling within the scope of the General Indemnification Limit shall not be applied towards the Environmental Indemnification Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on indemnity set forth in this Section 6.4(a) (including, without limitation, General Indemnification Limit, the Environmental Indemnification Limit and the Maximum Indemnification Limit) shall not apply to any Losses arising out of, based upon or attributable to fraud, willful misconduct, any Seller Fundamental Representation, or claims made under any of Section 6.2(e), the Closing Date Working Capital adjustment, or amounts paid under Section 7.6 or claims made under Section 6.2(d) (but with respect to the Maximum Indemnification Limit, only with respect to the portion of claims under Section 6.2(d) that exceed $1.5 million). In addition, any obligations or Losses incurred under the Transitions Services Agreement shall not be subject to the indemnification limited set forth in Section 6.4(a).

b.Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated pursuant to the Environmental Indemnification only with respect to 60% of the Buyer Indemnified Party Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties up to the Environmental Indemnification Limit. By way of example, to the extent that Buyer suffers a Loss in the amount of $1,000 as a result of an Environmental Liability, Seller shall be responsible for $600 of such Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, the Environmental Indemnification Limit shall only be reduced by the Losses actually paid by Sellers (i.e., only amounts actually paid out-of-pocket by Sellers in respect of indemnity claims and not the full amount of the Losses subject to the Environmental Indemnification Limit shall be taken into account when determining whether the Environmental Indemnification Limit has been met).

c.Seller shall not be liable for any Losses resulting from a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement to the extent that:

i.the liability for such breach occurs or is increased as a result of the adoption or imposition of any Law not in force at the date of this Agreement or as a result of any retroactive increase in rates of taxation imposed after the Closing Date; and

ii.the Losses would not have arisen but for a change in accounting policy or practice of Buyer or the Companies after the Closing.

In addition, no Party shall be liable for any Losses resulting from a breach of any representation, warranties and covenants contained herein to the extent that such Party shall have failed to first use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Losses under their respective insurance policies (it being understood that such obligation shall not include any obligation to bring any action, suit or proceeding against any insurer). Any amounts actually received from such insurers shall reduce the amount of Losses for purposes of determining the amount of Seller’s indemnity obligation or Buyer’s indemnity obligation under this Article 6 and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the General Indemnification Limit nor the Environmental Indemnification Limit shall be reduced by any such amounts actually received from such insurers (i.e., only amounts actually paid out-of-pocket by Sellers in respect of indemnity claims subject to the General Indemnification Limit or the Environmental Indemnification Limit, as applicable, shall be taken into account when determining whether the General Indemnification Limit or the Environmental Indemnification Limit, as applicable, has been met). If it is reasonably likely that coverage would be available under any applicable insurance policy for a Loss, then Buyer will or will cause the Company to submit such claim.

(d)    To the extent the Company actually receives payment for such claim under an insurance policy, then Buyer shall be entitled to all the benefits of such coverage for such claim for Losses, and Buyer shall not be entitled to payment for indemnification for such Loss under Section 6.2 to the extent such Losses or Environmental Losses are recovered from the applicable insurance carrier. Should (i)(A) following

submission of such claim Buyer elects not to or fails to pursue such claim, or (B) the insurance coverage of such claim be contested by the applicable insurance company, and (ii) Buyer shall have sought and received indemnification as provided under Section 6.2, then Buyer shall assign its rights (including its rights to insurance proceeds) under such insurance policy to Seller, and Buyer and the Companies shall cooperate with Seller in connection with Seller’s seeking payment of such claim. If received after an indemnification payment has been made under this Article 6, any amounts recovered from insurers or other third parties by Buyer or the Companies shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt, to Seller up to the amount paid by Seller. In connection with the pursuit of any claim with any applicable insurance coverage, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it will proceed and manage any such insurance process in a commercially reasonable manner subject to its business judgment.

(e)    Buyer shall, upon request of Seller, cause the Companies to assign to Seller any: (i) rights of the Companies to bring claims against any third party involved in connection with the matters set forth on Schedule 6.2(c), (ii) rights of the Companies in any claims initiated prior to Closing, against any third party involved in connection with the matters set forth on Schedule 6.2(c); and (iii) the rights of the Companies under applicable insurance policies relating to the matters set forth on Schedule 6.2(c). Following the assignment of such claims, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate (and shall cause the Companies to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate) with Seller in connection with: (i) any claims initiated by Seller against such third parties; and (ii) any claim with any applicable insurance coverage. Seller shall have the right to retain any insurance proceeds and any amounts recovered from third parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to Closing, the Companies shall assign to Seller the rights to those claims set forth on Schedule 6.2(c) which have been initiated by the Companies prior to the Closing.

(f)    Seller shall not be liable for any Losses under Section 6.2(d): (i) which relate to receivables that are settled or discounted by the Companies following the Closing, unless such settlement or discount is approved in writing by Seller; and (ii) unless the underlying receivables which relate to such Losses are assigned by Buyer or the Companies to Seller. Seller shall have full power and authority to settle or discount any receivables with respect to which Buyer seeks indemnification under Section 6.2(d).

Section 6.5.Indemnification Procedure - Direct Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (either such Party, an “Indemnified Party”) intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 for any matter not involving a claim by a third party against such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party must promptly provide written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party or Parties that are obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party in accordance with this Agreement (such Party or Parties, the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party with respect to any claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability to the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such omission. If an Indemnifying Party disputes the sufficiency of the Claim Notice, the Claiming Party may send another Claim Notice (and additional notices in response to additional objections by the Indemnifying Party), but for the purposes of any applicable survival period (as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof) the date the first Claim Notice was delivered to the Indemnifying Party will be treated as the date of notice of the indemnification claim even if the Claim Notice is subsequently amended and reissued. Following delivery of such clarifying Claim Notice, the same timing and obligations of the Indemnifying Party as above shall apply.

Section 6.6.Indemnification Procedure - Third Party Claims.

a.If any Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 for any matter involving a claim brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), against such Indemnified Party, it shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after receipt by the Indemnified

Party of notice of a Third Party Claim. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Subject to Section 6.6(c), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the legal defense thereof and shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Claim Notice, of its intent to assume the control of the defense of any such Third Party Claim, including, at its own expense, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party Defense Notice”). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the payment of such counsel’s fees and expenses shall have been specifically agreed upon in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised by reasonable counsel that there is a conflict for counsel in representing both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which cannot appropriately be waived.

b.In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver an Indemnifying Party Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct such defense subject to this Section 6.6(b) and 6.6(c). The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Party to participate (at the Indemnified Party’s cost and expense) in the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense (except as provided above) to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided that in such cases the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and settle the Third Party Claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (unless the Indemnified Party chooses to waive any right to indemnity for the amount of such settlement), such consent not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if (i) such judgment or settlement is not entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 6, (ii) such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim, (iii) such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law, or (iv) as a result of such consent or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party.

c.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall, subject to the Indemnifying Party being obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 6, pay the reasonable actual fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by reasonable counsel that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which cannot appropriately be waived, (iii) the claim seeks an injunction, equitable relief or other damages that are not money damages against any Indemnified Party, or (iv) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party is failing to prosecute or defend the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties expressly agree that Seller shall assume control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claims for which indemnification is sought under Section 6.2(c), Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.2(e).

Section 6.7.Indemnity Amounts to be Computed on After-Tax Basis. The amount of any indemnification payable under any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be (a) reduced by any net federal, state, local or foreign income Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party in the year in which the Loss occurs (or, where Buyer is the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates, including any Company) by reason of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the indemnification, and (b) increased by the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign income Tax actually required to be paid by the Indemnified Party on the accrual or receipt of the indemnification payment (including any amount payable pursuant to this clause (b)); provided that the amount of indemnification under this Agreement shall not exceed the Maximum Indemnification Limit. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of any state, local or foreign income Tax benefit or cost shall take into account the federal income Tax effect of such benefit or cost. In addition, in the case of a Tax benefit referred to in this Section 6.7 but actually realized after the payment of (and therefore not taken into account in determining the amount of) an indemnification payment, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the realization of such Tax benefit, shall provide documentation in reasonable detail supporting such notice, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as reasonably requested with respect to such notice and documentation, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate) promptly after the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate) realizes any such benefit, up to an amount (in the aggregate) not in excess of the indemnification payments (in the aggregate) paid by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 6.8.Environmental Remediation.

a.With respect to any Environmental Liabilities (or other Losses, or proceedings related thereto that involve investigation, cleanup, remediation, or other response pursuant to Environmental Laws or in connection with Hazardous Materials) for which any Buyer Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right but not the obligation to control the performance of such investigation, cleanup, remediation or other response. The Parties also agree that the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible only for such investigation, cleanup, remediation or other response, and the costs thereof, based upon application of all available risk-based approaches and methods designed to minimize costs and to achieve the least stringent applicable cleanup criteria permitted by applicable Environmental Law that still allows for continued industrial/commercial use of affected property; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such remediation (at the cost and expense of the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall grant or arrange reasonable access by the authorized representatives and agents of the Indemnifying Party to affected property as necessary to conduct any environmental investigation, cleanup, remediation or other response, and shall reasonably cooperate in the execution, completion, filing, and recording of all documents, use restrictions, institutional controls, notices, and other documents as will facilitate the conduct and completion of such investigation, cleanup, remediation or other response.

b.With respect to Environmental Liabilities that are subject to indemnification hereunder, the controlling party shall (i) keep the other party reasonably informed; (ii) reasonably promptly provide the other party with copies of all material communications received from or delivered to any Governmental Authority; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses arising from the same.

Section 6.9.Consequential Damages. Neither Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for claims for punitive, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including damages for loss of profits, loss of use or revenue, or losses by reason of cost of capital, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether a claim is based on contract, tort (including

negligence), strict liability, violation of any applicable deceptive trade practices act or similar Law or any other legal or equitable principle, and each Party (and by acceptance of the benefits of the provisions of this Article 6, each Indemnified Party) releases the Indemnifying Party from liability for any such damages, in each case unless and except to the extent that such damages are payable to a third party.

Section 6.10.Exclusive Remedy. Absent fraud and subject to the right of each party to seek specific performance and injunction of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any other form of equitable relief to the extent provided in Section 7.17 hereof, the enforcement of the agreements of indemnification contained in this Article 6 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties hereto for any claims with respect to the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or covenant, undertaking or agreement or obligation in this Agreement; whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise, and the Parties hereto waive all remedies otherwise available to such parties save only remedies which by law may not be waived. Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates are the only Persons entitled to exercise any remedy provided by this Article 6, and Seller and Buyer for themselves and their respective Affiliates, release, waive and agree not to sue for every other remedy and/or claim that any of them may have against a Party with respect to this Agreement or any Company.

Section 6.11.Other Indemnification Matters.

a.All indemnification payments under this Article 6 will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

b.It is expressly agreed and acknowledged by the Parties that for purposes of a Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.2(a) and Section 6.3(a), for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses only (and not for purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty occurred) the representations and warranties shall be deemed not qualified by any references therein to materiality.

Section 7.1.Construction of Defined Terms.

a.Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this Agreement: (i) an accounting term not otherwise defined herein has the meaning ascribed to it in accordance with or IFRS; (ii) “or” is not exclusive; (iii) “including” and its variants mean “including, without limitation” and its variants; (iv) words defined in the singular have the parallel meaning in the plural and vice versa; (v) words of one gender shall be construed to apply to each gender; (vi) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; and (vii) the terms “Article”, “Section”, “Exhibit” and “Schedule” refer to the specified Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement.

a.Buyer acknowledges that (i) it has had, and pursuant to this Agreement shall have before Closing, access to the Companies and their respective assets and the officers or other representatives of the Companies and Seller and (ii) in making the decision to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer has relied solely on the basis of its own independent investigation, including environmental and other inspections, and upon the express representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and Seller and the Companies expressly disclaim all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, statement or communication made or communicated (orally or in writing) to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants or representatives other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Evaluation Material, the Reconciliation opinion, information, projection or advice that may have been provided to Buyer by any officer, director, employee, agent, consultant, representative or advisor of the Companies, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates). Toward this end, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the Companies nor Seller shall have liability to Buyer, any Buyer Indemnified Party or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, any such information relating to the Companies, or prepared by or on behalf of the Companies, and supplied to Buyer before or after the date of this Agreement, or any Evaluation Material or the Reconciliation.

b.Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has not received any representations or warranties from any bank of Buyer and is not relying on the same in entering into this Agreement.

c.The right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnification, payment of any Losses or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. Parent and Seller hereby acknowledge that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of the Buyer or any documents submitted in the data room, and regardless of the results of any such investigation, the Buyer has entered into this transaction in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement.

In the event that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are not consummated, Buyer shall promptly return or destroy (at Buyer’s

Each arbitrator will have had no past or present relationship with the Parties or their counsel, except as disclosed in writing to and approved by the Parties to the arbitration in writing. If the Party-appointed arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator, in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC.

Section 7.8.Judicial Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Any such invalid provision shall be modified to give it maximum effect consistent with the intent of the stricken provision so as to allow its enforceability under applicable law.

Section 7.15.No Third Party Rights. Except as provided in Article 6, (a) nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under, or by reason of, this Agreement, (b) no third party is entitled to rely on any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and (c) neither Buyer nor Seller assumes any liability to any third party because of any reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer or Seller contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.16.Release. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its officers, directors, stockholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Companies and any of their respective Subsidiaries) and each of their respective successors and assigns (each a “Releasor”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller and each of its respective past, present or future officers, managers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each, a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, which such Releasor or its successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever to and including the Closing Date. Each Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective officers, directors, stockholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective

successors and assigns, not to, assert any claim against the Releasees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Releasor and its respective officers, directors, stockholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns retain, and do not release, their rights and interests under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.17.Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5.5, were not performed by a Party hereto in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached by such Party, and that money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party may not have an adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without posting a bond or other security, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or seek to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof and/or to seek other equitable relief, in each case whether from an arbitration tribunal constituted pursuant to Section 7.7 above or from a court in aid of arbitration, in each case in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity.

Section 7.18.Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Hunton & Williams LLP (“H&W”) has acted as legal counsel to Seller and the Companies, the Subsidiaries and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that H&W intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (which will no longer include any Company and the Subsidiaries) after the Closing, Buyer hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates, the Companies and the Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with H&W representing Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, the Companies and the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and H&W, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not any Company or the Subsidiaries). Accordingly, the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of H&W relating to such engagement from and after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not any Company and the Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Companies or the Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of H&W in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not any Company and the Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) H&W shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Companies or any of the Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between H&W and any Company or any of the Subsidiaries or otherwise. This Section 7.18 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 7.18 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of H&W.

Section 7.19.Construction. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.20.Computation of Time. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge or any duty hereunder shall fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the Party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular Business Day.

Section 7.21.Guaranty.

a.Parent hereby irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees each and every covenant and obligation of Seller, the full and timely performance of Seller’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in Article 6 hereof. This is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not of collection, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that this guaranty is full, irrevocable and unconditional, and no release or extinguishments of Seller’s liability

or obligations (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), whether by decree in any bankruptcy Proceeding or otherwise, will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guaranty. Parent hereby waives, for the benefit of Buyer to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Seller. Parent understands that Buyer is relying on this guaranty in entering into this Agreement. Guarantor may not assign any of its agreements, obligations or rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Buyer. This Section 7.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all obligations of Seller hereunder have been timely and fully performed.

b.Parent hereby represents and warrants to Seller that this Section 7.21 constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law).

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