A.    Seller owns (i) all of the issued and outstanding share capital (the “DC Securities”) of Dynamic Controls, a New Zealand incorporated unlimited company (the “Company”) and (ii) a one percent interest (1%) in the share capital (the “DE Securities”) of Dynamic Europe Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (company number 02385287) (“Dynamic Europe”) (the DE Securities and the DC Securities are collectively referred to as the “Purchased Securities”).

B.    Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, the Purchased Securities, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.1    Definitions. Certain terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Article 11, or elsewhere herein as indicated in Article 11.

1.2    Accounting Terms. Accounting terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them under United States GAAP, except as may otherwise be specified herein.

2.1    Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers and delivers to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens, and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller, the Purchased Securities and all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Securities.

2.2    Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for all of the Purchased Securities shall be an amount equal to:

(a)    Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the “Base Amount”);

(b)    plus an amount equal to the Closing Cash;

(c)    minus an amount equal to the Closing Indebtedness; and

(d)    plus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, or minus the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Closing Working Capital.

2.3    Estimated Purchase Price; Payment of Indebtedness. Prior to the date hereof, Seller has estimated in good faith the amount of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, respectively, as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date and has delivered to Buyer a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth such estimates and the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. As used herein, “Estimated Closing Cash,” “Estimated Closing Indebtedness” and “Estimated Closing Working Capital” mean the estimates of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, respectively, set forth in the Closing Certificate, and “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the Purchase Price calculated as set forth in Section 2.2, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Closing Cash is equal to the Estimated Closing Cash, that the Closing Indebtedness is equal to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and that the Closing Working Capital is equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall: (a) pay and deliver the Estimated Purchase Price (as calculated based upon the Closing Certificate) to Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available cash funds (free of any condition, restriction, deduction or withholding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) to an account as directed by Seller prior to the Closing (the “Seller’s Account”); and (b) on behalf of the Acquired Companies, pay the Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies to the parties identified on Schedule 2.3(b) (collectively, the “Repaid Closing Indebtedness”).

2.4    Post-Closing Adjustment.

2.4.1    Adjustment Statement Preparation. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller an adjustment statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith determination and calculation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, respectively, as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”) and, based on such calculation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, Buyer’s written, good faith determination and calculation of the Purchase Price, and the adjustment necessary to reconcile the Estimated Purchase Price to the Purchase Price, if any (the “Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment”). The Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Final Adjustment Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with, and using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures described on, Schedule 4.5.1, except that the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Final Adjustment Statement shall only reflect those items necessary to calculate the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital. In preparing the Preliminary Adjustment Statement: (a) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into by Buyer at any time on or after the Closing Date shall be entirely disregarded; (b) it shall be assumed that the Acquired Companies and their respective lines of businesses shall be continued as a going concern; and (c) there shall not be taken into account (i) any of the plans, transactions or changes

that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing Date with respect to the Acquired Companies or their respective business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any assets or liabilities of Buyer, or any obligation for the payment of the Purchase Price hereunder or (ii) any adjustments for Buyer’s use of purchase accounting. If Buyer does not deliver the Preliminary Adjustment Statement to Seller within such sixty (60) day period, then, at the election of Seller in its sole discretion exercised upon written notice to Buyer within five (5) days following expiration of such sixty (60) day period, the Estimated Purchase Price specified in the Closing Certificate shall be presumed to be true and correct in all respects and shall be final and binding on the parties.

2.4.2    Adjustment Statement Review. Seller shall review the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment and, if Seller believes that either was not prepared in accordance with Section 2.4.1, Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing no later than thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt thereof, setting forth in such notice Seller’s objection or objections to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement or the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment with reasonable particularity of the adjustments which Seller claims are required to be made thereto in order to conform the same to the terms of Section 2.4.1. Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies and their respective officers, employees, agents and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with all Representatives of Seller in the review of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall cause all books and records of the Acquired Companies that relate to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement (including the calculation thereof) to be made available during normal business hours to such Representatives, in each case, upon reasonable advance notice and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Buyer or the Acquired Companies.

2.4.3    Adjustment Statement Dispute Resolution. If Seller timely notifies Buyer in accordance with Section 2.4.2 of an objection to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement or the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment, and if Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such disputed items through good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after Seller’s delivery of such written notice of objection, then the parties shall mutually engage and submit only such disputed items to, and the same shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by, Grant Thornton LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally or regionally recognized, independent, public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in writing (the “Independent Accountants”). Buyer and Seller shall have the opportunity to present their positions with respect to such disputed matters to the Independent Accountants in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4. The Independent Accountants shall determine and report in writing to Buyer and Seller as to the resolution of all disputed matters submitted to the Independent Accountants and the effect of such determinations on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment within twenty (20) days after such submission or such longer period as the Independent Accountants may reasonably require. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountants shall: (a) be bound by the provisions of this Article 2 and the definitions pertaining hereto; (b) select either the position of Buyer or Seller as a resolution for each item or amount disputed and may not impose an alternative resolution with respect to any item or amount disputed; and (c) restrict its decision to such items which are then in dispute and have been properly submitted to the Independent Accountants in accordance with this Section 2.4.3. The

Independent Accountant shall deliver to Buyer and Seller a written report setting forth the resolution of any disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Absent manifest error, such determinations by the Independent Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive as to Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court having proper jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants shall be borne by the party (i.e., Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand) that assigned an aggregate amount to items in dispute that was, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Independent Accountants.

2.4.4    Final Adjustment Statement and Post-Closing Adjustment. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment shall become the “Final Adjustment Statement” and the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment,” respectively, and as such shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates for all purposes of this Agreement, upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(a)    the mutual acceptance by Buyer and Seller of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, with such changes or adjustments thereto, if any, as may be proposed by Seller and consented to by Buyer;

(b)    the expiration of thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, without timely written objection thereto by Seller in accordance with Section 2.4.2; or

(c)    the delivery to Buyer and Seller by the Independent Accountants of the report of their determination of all disputed matters submitted to them pursuant to Section 2.4.3.

2.4.5    Adjustment of Purchase Price. If the Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4.4, is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay the amount of such difference to Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller’s Account. If the Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.4.4, is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay the amount of such difference to Buyer by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer. The Final Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, shall be due and payable pursuant to this Section 2.4.5 no later than three (3) Business Days after the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment become the Final Adjustment Statement and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, pursuant to Section 2.4.4. For Tax purposes, any payment by Buyer or Seller under this Agreement, including pursuant to Article 9, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a contrary treatment is required by Law.

2.5    Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Companies and the assets owned by each in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth on Schedule 2.5 (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Within one hundred twenty (120) days

after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) as of the Closing Date, which allocation shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation (the “Buyer’s Allocation”). If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s Allocation, Seller may, within sixty (60) days after delivery of Buyer’s Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Seller’s Allocation Notice”) to Buyer to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts). If the Seller’s Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Seller and Buyer shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts), which allocation shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accountants to resolve any remaining disputes. Any allocation of the Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) determined pursuant to the decision of the Independent Accountants shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation, and shall be final and binding. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountants shall be borne equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. Buyer and Seller agree to be bound by such allocation, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, and to complete and submit their respective Tax Returns to the relevant Taxing Authorities accordingly, including any election under Code Section 338(g). Buyer shall have the right to make an election under Code Section 338(g) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby for any Acquired Company that is eligible. In the event that Buyer makes an election under Code Section 338(g), Buyer will notify Seller in writing as set for in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-2(e)(4). Seller hereby agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates to, include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax item resulting from such election on Seller’s and its Affiliates’ Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law.

2.6    Lowest Price. For the purposes of the financial arrangements rules in the New Zealand Income Tax Act 2007, Buyer and Seller agree that:

(a)    the Purchase Price is the lowest price (converted into New Zealand dollars using the exchange rate available from a New Zealand registered bank on the date that the first right in the Purchased Securities was transferred), that the parties would have agreed for the sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities, on the date this Agreement was entered into, if payment would have been required in full at the time the first right in the Purchased Securities was transferred;

(b)    they will compute their taxable income for the relevant period on the basis that the Purchase Price includes no capitalised interest and will file their Tax Return accordingly; and

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit either Parent or Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) from filing a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the terms and a copy of this Agreement and other material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Purchase Price and the effect the transaction will have on the earnings of Parent or Buyer as a whole.

8.3    No Assignments. No assignment or transfer (including by way of operation of law or a change in ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of voting power) of all or any part of this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of all other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, that: (a) Buyer may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any controlled Affiliate of Buyer provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder; and (b) Buyer may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources.

9.3    Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnification obligations provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Section 9.3.

9.3.1    Any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for indemnification (i) pursuant to subpart (a) or (b) of Section 9.1 shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Seller no later than the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) pursuant to subpart (c) of Section 9.1 shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Seller no later than the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date; (iii) pursuant to subpart (d) of Section 9.1 shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Seller no later than the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; and (iv) pursuant to subpart (f) of Section 9.1 shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Seller no later than the six (6) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Any covenants made by Seller or the Acquired Companies herein which by their terms are to be performed following the Closing will not merge on Closing and shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms.

9.3.2    Except for claims for indemnification based on fraud, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising under subpart (b) or subpart (d) of Section 9.1 until the aggregate amount of all of the Buyer Indemnitees’ claims for indemnification exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, and thereafter the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising under subpart (b) or under subpart (d) of Section 9.1 only for amounts in excess of the Indemnification Threshold.

9.3.3    Except for claims for indemnification based on fraud, (i) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled under this Agreement for Losses arising under subpart (a) of Section 9.1 shall be the Purchase Price, (ii) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled under this Agreement for Losses arising under subpart (b) of Section 9.1 shall be One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), (iii) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled under this Agreement for Losses arising under subpart (c) of Section 9.1 shall be Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00),and (iv) the maximum aggregate indemnification amount to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled under this Agreement for Losses arising under subpart (d) of Section 9.1 shall be the Indemnification Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts in subparts (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 9.3.3 are each separate and distinct amounts, and reaching the maximum aggregate amount under any of subpart (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall not impact the right to recovery under any other subpart of this Section 9.3.3.

9.3.4     The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for Losses under this Agreement if, and to the extent that, Buyer has been reimbursed for such Losses pursuant to the Final Adjustment Statement.

9.3.6    Any payments for indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 shall be made on an after-Tax basis. Accordingly, in determining the amount of any indemnification payment for a Loss suffered or incurred by an indemnitee hereunder, the amount of such Loss shall be decreased to take into account any deduction or credit, shifting of income or other Tax benefit actually realized by any indemnitee (or any Affiliate of any indemnitee) in connection with the Losses that form the basis of the indemnitee’s claim for indemnification hereunder in the same tax year in which such Losses were incurred (the “Tax Benefit Adjustment Amount”). In computing the Tax Benefit Adjustment Amount, the indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnification payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnifiable Loss; but notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitee shall not be required to take any tax position that it would not have otherwise taken absent the indemnification under this Article 9.

9.3.7    The Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss subject to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be, upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does give rise thereto, including but not limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to pursue viable claims under available insurance policies to recover, reduce, mitigate or offset such Losses; provided, however, that this sentence shall not require any party hereto to initiate or pursue litigation or other claims against third parties (other than taking the relevant administrative steps to file for or make ordinary course claims under insurance policies, “pass through” warranties or other indemnification or reimbursement Contracts from third parties) in respect of such Loss.

9.3.8    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that with respect to any claims for indemnification pursuant to subparts (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of Section 9.1, the periods set forth in Section 9.3.1 shall govern when any such claims may be brought and shall replace and supersede any statute of limitations that may otherwise be applicable.

9.3.9    The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if, and to the extent that, any claim for indemnification arises from a matter recorded and publicly available as at the date ten (10) Business Days before the date of this Agreement including in the following public registers in respect of the NZ Acquired Companies, in each case, against the names (or former names) of each NZ Acquired Company (or, in the case of the Personal Property Security Register, the company numbers for each NZ Acquired Company):

9.3.11    Sections 9.3.5, 9.3.6, 9.3.9 and 9.3.10 shall not apply with respect to any indemnification for Pre-Closing Taxes.

9.4    Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

9.4.1    Third-Party Claims. In order for a party (the “indemnitee”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement with respect to, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third party against the indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), such indemnitee must notify the party from whom indemnification hereunder is sought (the “indemnitor”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim no later than thirty (30) days after such claim or demand is first asserted. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the amount or estimated amount of such claim, and shall identify the specific basis (or bases) for such claim, including the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations in this Agreement alleged to have been breached. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except and only to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor, without undue delay, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers received by the indemnitee) relating to the Third-Party Claim so long as any such disclosure could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the attorney-client or any other privilege that may be available to the indemnitee in connection therewith.

The indemnitor may elect to assume and control the defense of a Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the indemnitor by providing written notice thereof to the indemnitee within sixty (60) days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim from the indemnitee. If the indemnitor assumes such defense, the indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnitor, it being understood that the indemnitor shall control such defense; provided, that the

indemnitor will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in connection with indemnitee’s participation in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the indemnitor does not assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim within such sixty (60) day period, the indemnitee may continue to defend such claim and the indemnitor may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. If the indemnitor so assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all of the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnitor in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include, at the expense of the indemnitor, the retention and (upon the indemnitor’s request) the provision to the indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

The indemnitee (i) shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (ii) shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim which the indemnitor may recommend and which by its terms unconditionally releases, in customary form, the indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the indemnitee, enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge or consent to the entry of any judgment which imposes any obligation or restriction upon the indemnitee or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

9.4.2    Other Claims. In the event any indemnitee should have a claim against any indemnitor under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim to the indemnitor promptly following discovery of any indemnifiable Loss, but in any event, in the case of the Buyer Indemnitees, not later than the last date set forth in Section 9.3.1 for making such claim. Failure to give such notification promptly following discovery shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the amount or an estimated amount of such claim, and shall specify the facts and circumstances which form the basis (or bases) for such claim, and shall further specify the representations, warranties or covenants alleged to have been breached. Upon receipt of any such notice, the indemnitor shall notify the indemnitee as to whether the indemnitor accepts liability for any Loss. If the indemnitor disputes its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the indemnitor and the indemnitee shall attempt to resolve such dispute in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 12.4.

9.4.3    Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 shall not apply to the Tax Matters addressed in Article 10 (which such Tax Matters shall be governed by Section 10.3). For the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 shall apply with respect to all Tax Matters that are not addressed in Article 10.

9.5    Limitation of Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement or the transactions

contemplated hereby including any claim for breach of a Seller or Acquired Company representation or warranty (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Section 8.7 or fraud, or claims or causes of action for which the sole remedy sought is equitable relief) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 (and Article 10, with respect to the Tax Matters addressed in Article 10). In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Buyer and Seller hereby waives on behalf of itself and all other Persons who might claim by, through or under him, her or it, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Section 8.7 or fraud, or claims or causes of action for which the sole remedy sought is equitable relief) which any such other Person may have arising under or based upon any Law and that relates to the transactions contemplated herein or to any aspect of the businesses of the Acquired Companies, except any and all rights, claims and causes of action arising in connection with the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 (and Article 10, with respect to the Tax Matters addressed in Article 10).

9.6    Materiality. For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses pursuant to this Article 9, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

10.1    Apportionment of Taxes. All Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the Acquired Companies that relate to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or measured by reference to income, receipts, profits, capital or net worth (including sales and use Taxes), (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) or (iii) required to be withheld, such Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Tax year ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the Acquired Companies other than those described in clause (a), such Taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. The apportionment of Taxes and Tax liabilities under this Section 10.1 shall be calculated prior to taking into account any Tax losses of the Acquired Companies or any other company that may lawfully be utilized (whether by way of carry forward, loss offset, subvention payment or otherwise) in order to satisfy or reduce the relevant Taxes or Tax liability.

10.2    Tax Returns; Refunds.

10.2.1    Seller shall provide Buyer with drafts of pro forma Tax Returns relating solely to the Acquired Companies (each, a “Pro Forma Tax Return”) that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior

to the due date for the filing of each such Tax Return, including extensions (provided that for non-annual Taxes that cannot be calculated at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date, Seller shall provide Buyer with draft of pro forma Tax Returns at least six (6) Business Days prior to the due date). Not later than ten (10) days after Seller has provided such Pro Forma Tax Return (or not later than three (3) Business Days after Seller has provided such Pro Forma Tax Return, in the case of non-annual Taxes that cannot be calculated at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date), Buyer shall notify Seller of the existence of any objection, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such objection that Buyer may have to any item set forth on such draft Pro Forma Tax Return. Buyer (on behalf of itself, and following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) and Seller agree to consult and resolve in good faith any such objection. Except as otherwise required by Law, all Pro Forma Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared consistent with past practices.  

10.2.2    Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to provide Seller with drafts of all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that relate to any Straddle Period for review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for the filing of each such Tax Return, including extensions (provided that for non-annual Taxes that cannot be calculated at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date, Buyer shall provide Seller with draft of pro forma Tax Returns at least six (6) Business Days prior to the due date). Not later than ten (10) days after the Acquired Companies have provided such Tax Returns (or not later than three (3) Business Days after Buyer has provided such Pro Forma Tax Return, in the case of non-annual Taxes that cannot be calculated at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date), Seller shall notify the Acquired Companies of the existence of any objection, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such objection that Seller may have to any item set forth on such draft Tax Return. Buyer (on behalf of itself, and following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) and Seller agree to consult and resolve in good faith any such objection. Except as otherwise required by Law, all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that relate to any Straddle Period shall be prepared consistent with past practices and, for the avoidance of doubt, will whenever possible provide for a refund, in cash, for the overpayment of Taxes, rather than a credit against Taxes due for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

10.2.3    Except as otherwise required by Law or a Taxing Authority, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld for any reason), none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate thereof shall, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a) make any election, (b) change the Tax treatment of any item on a Tax Return filed after the Closing Date as compared to the treatment of such item on a Tax Return filed by the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing Date or (c) (i) file any amended Tax Return or (ii) file, propose or agree to any (A) voluntary disclosure or similar program (including any voluntary disclosure to a Taxing Authority in connection with the matters more fully described in Section 10.4 below) or (B) adjustment of any item with the New Zealand Commissioner of Inland Revenue (or the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department) or any other Taxing Authority, if in any such case such action would have the effect of increasing Seller’s liability for any Taxes, reducing any Tax benefit of Seller or increasing the indemnification obligations set forth in Article 9 hereof unless Buyer, the Acquired Companies and any such Affiliate indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any such adverse Tax effect. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on any Tax Return required to be filed pursuant to Section 10.2.1 above or 10.2.2 above by the deadline to make such Tax filing, then the

Tax Return prepared by the party required to first prepare such Tax Return pursuant to Section 10.2.1 or 10.2.2, as applicable, shall be filed.

10.2.4    If any Acquired Company receives a Tax refund for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, such refund (net of any expenses or costs incurred in seeking or obtaining such refund) shall be paid to Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any refund either (i) reflected in the Closing Working Capital, or (ii) attributable to any carryback of an item from a Post-Closing Tax Period.

10.2.5    If Seller determines that Tax losses of an Acquired Company or any other company may be utilized in order to reduce the amount of Tax payable by an Acquired Company or any other company in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period (whether such utilization is by way of a loss carry forward, loss offset, a subvention payment (as those terms are defined for purposes of the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ) or otherwise as may be lawfully permitted), Seller shall notify Buyer and the parties shall work together to ensure and procure that the relevant Acquired Company takes all steps necessary to give effect to that loss carry forward, loss offset, subvention payment or other means of utilization.

10.3    Controversies. Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Acquired Companies of any notice of any inquiries, assessments, proceedings or similar events received from any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies for which Seller may be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (any such inquiry, assessment, proceeding, litigation, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). Seller may, at its own expense, participate in and, upon notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such Tax Matter, assume the defense of such Tax Matter. If Seller assumes such defense, Seller shall have the authority, with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies before the relevant Taxing Authority and have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. Buyer has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Seller. Seller shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate of the foregoing for a Post-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Buyer. Seller shall keep Buyer informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter, and will, in good faith, allow Buyer to consult with Seller regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding. If Seller does not assume the defense of such Tax Matter, Buyer shall keep Seller informed of the progress of such Tax Matter from time to time and shall consult with Seller with respect to such Tax Matter. Seller shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Acquired Companies. The Acquired Companies shall not have the right to settle (or to consent to the settlement or compromise of) such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Seller if such settlement or

compromise would cause Seller to be liable for actual payment of a majority of the settlement amount to be paid with respect to such Tax Matter.

10.4    Certain Chinese Tax Matters. Buyer, Seller and the Chinese Subsidiary shall be responsible for their respective filing requirements in connection with, and Seller shall be responsible for Taxes, fines, penalties and other charges arising under, in connection with or as a result of the application of the Chinese Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several issues concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on the indirect transfer of properties by non-resident enterprises (SAT Circular [2015] No.7) issued and enacted by the PRC State Administration of Taxation, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer and the Chinese Subsidiary for any liability, cost, expense, damage or loss arising therefrom, in each case for the avoidance of doubt whether legally owed by the Seller, the Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any other person. The Seller shall, at its own expenses, apply with the applicable Chinese Governmental Authority for any relevant Tax filings and disclosures that are required by the applicable Chinese Laws (including Circular 7) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable within the periods required by applicable Chinese Laws.
