(e)

2.2 Preliminary Purchase Price and payment on the Closing Date

(a)

When informing the Purchaser of the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Clause 3.1, no later, however, than eight Banking Days before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall notify the Purchaser of the Purchase Price that results from the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Clause 3.1 together with the relevant underlying calculations and figures. The Purchaser and its advisers shall be given reasonable opportunity to verify the calculations of the amounts provided by the Sellers and to negotiate in good faith a potential adjustment of the amounts and the Purchase Price Adjustment, taking into account the short time period remaining until the Closing. In case that there is any disagreement which cannot be settled until the fifth Banking Day prior to Closing, the Sellers’ calculation shall prevail other than in case of obvious calculation errors (the amount so determined hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Purchase Price”).

(b)

On the Closing Date the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers the Preliminary Purchase Price or, should the Final Purchase Price have already been calculated on the Closing Date pursuant to Clauses 3.3 or 3.4 (hereinafter referred to as the “Final Purchase Price”), the Final Purchase Price; in each case payment shall be made as follows:

(i)

To the extent that the Sellers announce at least 5 Banking Days prior to the Closing Date and deliver on the Closing Date to the Purchaser a guarantee on first demand substantially in the form of Annex 2.2 (b)-1 (the “Seller’s Guarantee”), which is provided by a German major commercial bank or German savings bank for the Trust Amount allocated pursuant to the [*] to the relevant Seller and is used to secure possible claims of the Purchaser against the Sellers for breach of Guarantees pursuant to Clause 5 of this Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchaser’s Claims”), i.e. EUR [*] to secure potential Purchaser Claims against Möller-Bornemann (the “Möller-Bornemann Trust Amount”), EUR [*] to secure potential Purchaser Claims against Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung (the “Wülfing Trust Amount”) and EUR [*] to secure potential Purchaser Claims against BWK (the “BWK Trust Amount”), the Purchaser has to pay to the Sellers a total amount equal to the Preliminary Purchase Price or, if on

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

the Closing Date the Final Purchase Price is already determined (this amount directly payable to the Sellers on the Closing Date the “Immediately Payable Purchase Price”) an amount corresponding to the [*], i.e. [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to Möller-Bornemann, [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung and [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to BWK.

(ii)

To the extent that one or numerous Sellers fail to announce the delivery of Seller’s Guarantees at the latest 5 Banking Days prior to the Closing Date or fail to deliver the Seller’s Guarantees on the Closing Date, the Purchaser has to

•

pay on an account indicated by O&R Oppenhoff & Rädler AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft (the “Trustee”) to the Purchaser before the Closing Date (the “Trust Account”) each the Möller-Bornemann Trust Amount, the Wülfing Trust Amount and the BWK Trust Amount (together the “Trust Amount”) following closer instructions of a trust agreement, which has to be entered into with the Sellers, who do not deliver a Seller’s Guarantee, and shall have the principle form of Annex 2.2 (b)-2 as attached hereto. The Trust Amount serves exclusively to secure potential claims of the Purchaser based on breach of the guarantees contained in Clause 5 of this Purchase Agreement (the “Purchaser Claims”) against the relevant Sellers, each up to the amount of the Möller-Bornemann Trust Amount, the Wülfing Trust Amount and/or the BWK Trust Amount. Each of the Sellers shall be at any time entitled to claim at its own cost, in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement, payment by the Trustee of the Trust Amount attributable to such Seller in accordance with the [*] against delivery of a guarantee payable on first request by a German major commercial bank or German savings bank covering the Trust Amount attributable to such Seller in accordance with the [*] and substantially in the form at Annex 2.2. (b).1.

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

•

to the Sellers an aggregate amount equal to the Preliminary Purchase Price less the Trust Amount, or, should the Final Purchase Price have already been calculated on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price less the Trust Amount (this amount immediately payable to the Sellers on the Closing Date hereinafter referred to as the “Immediately Payable Purchase Price”), in accordance with the [*], i.e. [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to Möller-Bornemann, [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung and [*] of the Immediately Payable Purchase Price to BWK.

For purposes of clarification: The Purchaser has to pay the Möller-Bornemann Trust Amount, the Wülfing Trust Amount and the BWK Trust Amount in each case only once, either when a Seller’s guarantee is granted directly to the relevant Seller or to the Trustee for this Seller. The Immediately Payable Purchase Price is therefore determined by the delivery or failure of delivery of the Seller’s Gurantee.

(c)

For the period from (and including) the Economical Effective Date up to (and excluding) the date of payment, but in any event no longer than until the [*]^th calendar day following the Economic Effective Date, or if later, 5 Banking Days after the day on which the condition listed in Clause 4.2 (a) is met, interest shall accrue on the Preliminary Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price payable pursuant to Clause 2.2 (b) at a rate of [*]% per annum. The interest shall be calculated on an actual/360 day count basis and shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Sellers on the Closing Date together with the Immediately Payable Purchase Price, in accordance with the [*].

2.3

Payment of the adjustment

(a)

If the Preliminary Purchase Price was paid on the Closing Date and if the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay the difference to the Sellers in accordance with the [*], i.e., the Purchaser shall pay [*] of the difference to Möller-Bornemann, [*] to Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung, and [*] to BWK.

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

(b)

If the Preliminary Purchase Price was paid on the Closing Date and if the Final Purchase Price is lower than the Preliminary Purchase Price, the Sellers shall repay the difference to the Purchaser in accordance with the [*], i.e., [*] of the difference shall be paid by Möller-Bornemann, [*] by Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung, and [*] by BWK. The Sellers shall not be jointly and severally liable for the difference; rather, they shall be liable only to the extent of their interests stipulated in the preceding sentence.

(c)

Any and all payments pursuant to Clause 2.3 (a) or (b) shall be due within ten Banking Days following the calculation of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 3.

(d)

For the period from (and including) the Closing Date up to (and excluding) the date of payment, interest shall accrue on any outstanding amount owed pursuant to Clause 2.3 (a) or (b) at a rate of [*]% per annum. The interest shall be calculated on an actual/360 day count basis and shall be payable together with the payment on which it accrues.

2.4

Terms of payment; Legal consequences of late payment; Exclusion of set-off and retention rights

(a)

The amounts to be paid pursuant to this Clause 2 shall be remitted irrevocably without any cost deductions (notwithstanding any costs charged by the receiving bank) on the respective due date with same-day value date in the form of immediately available funds in euros to the following accounts of the Parties and to the Trust Account:

Clause 3

Economical Effective Date Statements

3.1

Preparation and audit

The Sellers have already caused the management of Bornemann GmbH to draw up consolidated financial statements (balance sheet, profit and loss account) of the Bornemann Group as at the Economical Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Economical Effective Date Statements”) and to have these statements audited by the auditing firm Ebner Stolz Mönning & Bachem (“EbnerStolz”)). The Sellers shall without undue delay after the conclusion of this Agreement cause the management of Bornemann GmbH to draw up an annex to the Economical Effective Date Statements in which all Taxes payable by the Bornemann Entities to any Tax Authority, which are covered by any liability or provision shown in the Economical Effective Date Statements, are specifically set out as regards their respective merits and their respective amount (“Tax Annex”) and to have this Tax Annex audited by EbnerStolz. The Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with the Economical Effective Date Statements together with the audit opinion issued by EbnerStolz, the underlying single-entity financial statements of the individual Bornemann Entities as at the Economical Effective Date, the Tax Annex and the calculation of the Purchase Price adjusted pursuant to Clause 2.1 (hereinafter the “Purchase Price Adjustment”) as soon as possible, no later, however, than within 45 calendar days from the conclusion of this Share Purchase Agreement. The preparation of the Economical Effective Date Statements shall be preceded by taking an inventory as at the Economical Effective Date. The Sellers shall grant the Purchaser and its agents the opportunity to

participate in the inventory-taking process, unless this process has already been completed before the conclusion of this Share Purchase Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall [*] EbnerStolz [*] in connection with the audit of the Economical Effective Date Statements of the Tax Annex.

3.2

Accounting principles

The Economical Effective Date Statements shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB) and the in each case applicable German generally accepted accounting principles (together “German GAAP”) applied consistently with past practice. The Purchaser acknowledges the accounting policies, procedures and principles used for preparation of the annual accounts of the Bronemann Entities and the consolidated annual accounts of Bornemann GmbH, each as of 31 December 2011, including those applicable to taking of inventory. The Parties agree that in the Economical Effective Date Statements no provisions shall be reflected for restructuring and similar measures that have not yet been resolved upon but which are only intended by the Purchaser. The preparation shall proceed on the assumption that the Economical Effective Date coincides with the end of a financial year.

3.3

Audit

Should the Purchaser be of the opinion that the Economical Effective Date Statements have not been prepared in compliance with the principles referred to in Clause 3.2, or that the Tax Annex does not correctly show the Taxes which are covered by liabilities and provisions of the Economical Effective Date Statements, or that the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Clause 3.1 does not correspond to this Share Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall be entitled to notify the Sellers thereof in writing within one month following Closing but at least two month following receipt of the documents referred to in Clause 3.1, specifying the balance sheet items and the individual items concerned and the amounts which, in the opinion of the Purchaser, need to be adjusted. The notification must explain in reasonable detail the reasons for each objection. Should the Purchaser fail to raise objections against the Economical Effective Date Statements presented, or against the Tax Annex by the Sellers, or against the Purchase Price Adjustment of the Sellers, in time or not raise such objections at all, for the purposes of this Share Purchase Agreement these shall be deemed to have been finally accepted by the Purchaser with binding effect.

3.4

Settlement of disputes, expert opinion

Should the Parties prove unable to settle disputes regarding the Economical Effective Date Statements and/or the Tax Annex and/or the Purchase Price Adjustment within four weeks from the Sellers’ receipt of the notification pursuant to Clause 3.3, such disputes shall be resolved with final and binding effect on all Parties upon request of either Party by a neutral auditor acting as an expert (Schiedsgutachter) (rather than as an arbitrator (Schiedsrichter)) on the basis of the principles and rules stipulated in Clauses 2 and 3. Should the parties fail to agree on an expert within this period, the chairman of the board of directors (Vorstand) of the German Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer e. V - IdW) in Düsseldorf, Germany, shall decide upon the expert upon request of either party. The expert so determined can be commissioned jointly by all Parties or by just one Party in the name of all Parties. The expert shall fulfil his or her duties on the basis of a contractual agreement that either largely corresponds to the draft letter commissioning the expert attached as Annex 3.4 or that is agreed upon by all Parties together with the expert. In rendering its decision, the expert shall be instructed to remain within the range of values allocated by the Parties to each item in dispute. The decision taken by the expert shall be binding upon the Parties as stipulated in section 319 para. 1 of the German Civil Code. The expert shall also decide on the allocation of its fees between the Sellers and the Purchaser on a pro rata basis according to the degree to which they were successful or not according to the expert’s decision.

3.5

If the Purchaser or any Bornemann Entity desires to dispose of or destroy any of such books and documents prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period, the Purchaser shall prior to such disposition give the Sellers reasonable opportunity, at the Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and documents as the Seller may elect.

Clause 8

Liability

8.1

Damages

(a)

If a guarantee given by one of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 5 is incorrect in whole or in part, or if the Sellers or any of them wrongfully breach an obligation under Clause 7.1, subject to the following, such Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount that is necessary to put the relevant Bornemann Entity or, in case of the Guarantees contained in Clauses 5.1 to 5.3 at the Purchasers election, the Purchaser or the relevant Bornemann Entity into the position it would be in if the guarantee had been correct (section 249 et seq. of the German Civil Code). The Purchaser shall first give the relevant Seller(s) the opportunity to – without undue delay, but at the latest within [*] after the notification of the claim – re-establish factually the position that would have existed if the guarantee had been correct or if the obligation under Clause 7.1 had not been wrongfully breached (Naturalrestitution); the foregoing shall not apply if and to the extent such factual restoration is not possible or the Sellers have refused such restoration. To the extent that the factual restoration does not remedy all damages which are covered by this Share Purchase Agreement, additional damages are to be covered by monetary compensation pursuant to this Clause 8.

The Purchaser may claim indirect damages, consequential damages and loss of prospective profits pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a) only to the extent that these are typical and foreseeable consequences of a breach of the respective Guarantee made in Clause 5 or the violation of the respective obligation listed in Clause 7.1 and the damages are covered by protective purpose of the relevant Guarantee or in Clause 7.1 listed obligation. Under no circumstances payment of (i) other indirect damages, consequential damages and losses of prospective profits, (ii) in case of Guarantees pursuant to Clauses 5.4 to 5.14 decreases in value of the Sold Shares and other participations in Bornemann Entities and (iii) loss of prospective profits

of the Purchaser in respect of an onward sale of Sold Shares or a Bornemann Entity (or parts thereof). Equally excluded is a compensation for internal costs (including personal and general costs).

The damage shall be calculated according to the principles of advantage settlement (Vorteilsausgleichung), deducting any present and future advantages related to the respective facts (including tax advantages, to the extent they have not until the date of the compensation of damages reduced an indemnification claim of the Purchaser according to § 9.2 (b) (i), and “new for old” deduction). To the extent that a Bornemann Entity is entitled to insurance claims under its insurance coverage which existed prior to the Closing Date or to other enforceable claims against third parties, the damages to be paid shall be reduced by the amount of such claims. Likewise insurance claims are to be deducted, which would exist, if the insurance coverage which existed as of the Closing Date had been continued without change. In as far as a Bornemann Entity has an enforceable claim against [*], as an exception, [*]% of such claim is to be deducted of the damages to be compensated by the Sellers, if and to the extent a Bornemann Entity has [*] this claim based on [*].

If the Purchaser requests from the Sellers the creation of the guaranteed condition of a Bornemann Entity (by monetary compensation), any compensation for a damage incurred by a company that is not wholly (directly or indirectly) owned by Bornemann GmbH shall be limited to the part of this damage that corresponds to the [*] in the respective company calculated on [*].

(b)

The Sellers shall [*] be liable for damages pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a) in accordance with [*]. The actions, omissions or knowledge of one Seller or of such Seller’s vicarious agent (Erfüllungsgehilfe) shall [*].

If any of the Guarantees given in Clause 5.1, Clause 5.2, Clause 5.5 (e) – (g) or Clause 5.10 (e) – (g) is incorrect in whole or in part, or if the Sellers or any of them wrongfully breach an obligation under Clause 7.1, [*] Guarantees given in Clause 5.1, Clause 5.2, Clause 5.5 (e) – (g) or Clause 5.10 (e) – (g) are incorrect in whole or in part or [*] have wrongfully breached their obligations under Clause 7.1 shall be liable pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a).

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

To the extent that the Sellers are liable pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a) due to the incorrectness of any other of the Guarantees given in Clause 5, the Sellers shall be obliged to pay [*] the damage to be compensated pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a) that corresponds [*] pursuant to Clause 2.1 (d). Irrespective of [*] are liable due to the incorrectness of one of these Guarantees, Möller-Borneman is therefore obliged to pay [*], Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung [*] and BWK [*] of the damage to be compensated pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a).

(c)

If one of the Guarantees set out in Clause 6 is incorrect in whole or in part, the Purchaser shall pay monetary damages to the Sellers (section 249 et seq. of the German Civil Code). Clauses 8.1 (a), 8.1 (e), 8.4 (a), 8.4 (c) and 8.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 8.5 (b) shall also apply.

(d)

Irrespective of other obligations for the payment of damages or indemnification by the Sellers or the Purchaser based on this Share Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will

(i)

indemnify from any liability resulting from or relating to the participation of the Sellers in a Bornemann Entity or any act by the Sellers in their capacity as shareholders’ of Bornemann GmbH, and

(ii)

indemnify from any liability for obligations of the Bornemann Group, if and to the extent the none-existence of such obligation is not subject of a Guarantee given under Clause 5,

each Seller and those Companies affiliated with it (except for Bornemann Entities),.

This obligation to indemnify does not apply for the benefit of a Seller or the Companies affiliated with it, if and to the extent this person acted fraudulent and intentional. The obligation to indemnify that relates to a liability regarding a Bornemann Entity, which is not (directly or indirectly) wholly owned by the Purchaser or one of the companies affiliated with it, is limited to this part of the liability, which equates to the effective (durchgerechnet) participation of the Purchaser (or its affiliated company) in the respective company.

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

(e)

Section 254 of the German Civil Code (contributory negligence) shall be applicable to the claims for damages arising from this Share Purchase Agreement.

8.2

Value adjustments and accruals in the Economical Effective Date Statements

The Sellers shall not be liable pursuant to Clause 8.1 for the incorrectness of a guarantee as set out in Clause 5 to the extent that the damage eligible for the payment of a compensation has – through depreciation, specific value adjustments, liabilities or accruals (including general value adjustments) relating to such damage or the set of circumstances underlying such damage – been covered in an item of the Economical Effective Date Statements and has been taken into account when fixing the purchase price pursuant to Clause 2.1.

8.3

if the Purchaser was aware of the facts constituting the incorrectness of a guarantee (except for the Guarantees in Clauses 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3) before entering into this Share Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Clause 8, the Purchaser shall only be deemed to have been aware if one of the individuals listed in Annex 8.3 (a) was aware of the facts constituting the incorrectness of a guarantee before entering into this Share Purchase Agreement, it being irrebuttably presumed that the Purchaser is aware of all facts that are or were disclosed

Moreover, claims of the Purchaser against the Seller due to a breach of Clause 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 7.1 through 7.4 and 7.7 through 7.9 are each limited to a total amount of [*]% of the Final Purchase Price attributable to this Seller pursuant to Clause 2.1 (d), to the extent that the breach is caused by simple negligence; in all other cases the liability from these provisions is limited to a total amount of the Final Purchase Price attributable to this Seller pursuant to Clause 2.1 (d).

(c)

All of the Purchaser’s claims against a Seller arising from or in connection with this Share Purchase Agreement (for whatever legal reason, including the Guarantees set out in Clauses 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3) shall – in the aggregate – be limited to an amount corresponding to the Final Purchase Price share attributable to this Seller pursuant to Clause 2.1 (d). The Sellers cannot maintain towards the Purchaser that the obligation for delivery of the Sold Shares has been met.

8.5

Limitation period

(a)

Claims of the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 8.1 based on the incorrectness of one of the guarantees set out in this Share Purchase Agreement shall become time-barred [*] after the Closing Date. However, this shall not apply to the liability of a Seller due to the incorrectness of one of the Guarantees set out in Clauses 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, for which a limitation period of [*] as of the Closing Date shall apply.

(b)

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

this Share Purchase Agreement – excluding primary claims to perform the contract and secondary claims based on non-performance which expire after [*] – shall become time-barred three years after the Closing Date. Claims of the Sellers arising from the guarantee to [*] as provided in Clause 7.6 (a) shall become time-barred [*] after a breach, but in no event later than [*] after the Closing Date. The Sellers right for indemnification pursuant to Clause 8.1 (d) expires after [*] as of the Closing Date.

8.6

Procedure in case of warranty claims

(a)

If a person, who serves as a President, Chief Financial Officer, Head of Global Operations, Head of Global Market/Integration Leader or General Counsel within the division of the group, to which the Purchaser is belongs and to which the Bornemann Entities report, receives knowledge of the inaccuracy of one of the Guarantees contained in Clause 5, which could lead to liability of a Sellers from this Share Purchase Agreement or of a violation of one of the obligations listed in Clause 7.1, the Purchaser will within 4 weeks after obtaining such knowledge, inform the relevant Seller’s in writing.

(b)

If a third party in writing or in any other specific and serious way asserts a claim against the Purchaser or one of the Bornemann Entities that may lead to one or more Sellers becoming liable under this Share Purchase Agreement (“Third Party Claim”), the Purchaser shall ensure that the concerned Sellers and their agents are given the opportunity to participate in warding off the claim at their own expense. To this end, the Purchaser shall provide copies of the correspondence that has taken place with respect to the Third Party Claim to the Sellers and their respective agents, allow them to make copies of all other documents relevant in any kind with respect to the Third Party Claim as well as give them the opportunity to meet and talk to the managers and employees and grant them access to the respective sites during normal business hours and after having given a reasonable advance notice. Furthermore, the Purchaser shall inform the Sellers in due time about all significant meetings with the respective third party concerning the Third Party Claim and shall give the Sellers and their agents the opportunity to take part in such meetings. The Purchaser shall – within the framework of its

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

obligation to mitigate any damage – take into account any comments and suggestions made by the Sellers and their agents with respect to the warding off of the claim. The Purchaser shall defend the Third Party Claim in a good faith effort to balance the interests of the Sellers to minimise liability with the going concern interests of the Purchaser and the Bornemann Entities.

The Purchaser will, before a Third Party Claim or its underlying circumstances are accepted or a amicable settlement in this regard is entered into, inform the Sellers and give them sufficient opportunity for a response. The Parties will based on the principles of good faith seek to achieve amicable arrangement regarding the next steps. To the extent that a Third Party Claim or its underlying circumstances are accepted or a amicable settlement in this regard is entered into without the consent of the Sellers, the Purchaser may – save for the following provisions – claim damages from the Sellers for the Third Party Claim only in the amount the Third Party Claim existed without the acceptance or an amicable settlement. Provided that the requirements of an inaccuracy of one of the Guarantees contained in Clause 5 are met or a culpable violation of an obligation contained in Clause 7.1 takes place, the Purchaser may, in as far as a Third Party Claim is brought by [*] and this Third Party Claim or its underlying circumstances are accepted or a amicable settlement in this regard is entered into without the consent of the Sellers, claim from the Sellers those damages from the Third Party Claim, in the amount the Third Party Claim existed without the acceptance or an amicable settlement, [*] under the acceptance or amicable settlement, if and to the extent the acceptance or an amicable settlement was based on [*].

(c)

If the Purchaser breaches one of the obligations referred to in letter (a) or (b), the Sellers shall not be liable with respect to the respective facts to the extent that the Sellers can prove that the respective damage would not have been incurred had the obligation been fulfilled.

8.7

Exclusion of further claims

This Clause 8 shall comprehensively regulate the question of legal consequences of the incorrectness of one of the Guarantees set out in Clause 5 and Clause 6 and the violation of one of the obligations set out in Clause 7.1 (if this Clause 8 explicitly provides for

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

legal consequences of a breach of the obligations contained in Clause 7.1). Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Share Purchase Agreement, there are no further claims of the Parties arising from or in connection with this Share Purchase Agreement (for whatever legal reason) except for the (primary) claims for performance, claims for non-performance of the obligation to transfer the Sold Shares under this Share Purchase Agreement and claims for default interest pursuant to section 288 German Civil Code. In particular the Purchaser’s statutory warranty claims (section 434 et seq. of the German Civil Code) and claims arsing from any breach of contractual or pre-contractual obligations (culpa in contrahendo, sections 280 – 282 of the German Civil Code, section 311 para. 2 of the German Civil Code) or any frustration of contract (section 313 of the German Civil Code) are excluded. None of the Parties is entitled to rescind or otherwise cancel this Share Purchase Agreement, with the exception of the rights of rescission as set out or reserved in Clause 10. Claims that cannot be excluded according to mandatory legal provisions, in particular due to wilful misconduct (vorsätzliches Verhalten) or fraudulent misrepresentation (arglistige Täuschung) of a Party, shall not be affected hereby.

Clause 9

Taxes

9.1

Tax Guarantees

The Tax Guarantees included in this Clause 9.1 are given individually by each Seller. The content and scope of the Tax Guarantees as well as the legal consequences of a Tax Guarantee being incorrect shall be exclusively governed by this Clause 9. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax Guarantees neither constitute quality agreements within the meaning of section 434 of the German Civil Code nor guarantees within the meaning of sections 443, 444 of the German Civil Code.

All tax guarantees contained in Clause 9.1 are given with restriction to the knowledge of the Sellers. The knowledge of the Sellers for the guarantees pursuant to this Clause 9.1 are given based on the respective Seller and limited to its knowledge, which is ascertained for each Seller individually. For purposes of this Clause 9.1 the knowledge of a

Seller comprises all circumstances, which one of the persons attributed to a Seller according to Annex 5, was aware of at the time of conclusion of this agreement or on the Closing Date, after the persons attributed to a Seller according to Annex 5 have presented to Messrs. Gero von der Wense, Friedrich Harten, Gerhard Rohlfing, Oliver Best and Hajo Hartmann the guarantees listed in Clause 9.1 for their review, explained its relevance in detail, given the mentioned persons sufficient time for review and subsequently diligently questioned them in this regard, provided that in as far as knowledge at the time of conclusion of this Share Purchase Agreement is relevant, this happened no more than 7 calendar days prior to execution of this Share Purchase Agreement, whereas knowledge of one Seller is not attributed to any other Seller.

(a)

The Bornemann Entities have always timely filed (including extension of filing periods) their Tax returns (Steuererklärungen), their Tax (as defined below) declarations (Steueranmeldungen), advance Tax declarations (Steuervoranmeldungen) and other declarations in connection with Taxes (including schedules and attachments thereto) required to be filed with a Tax Authority (together “Tax Returns”).

(b)

The Bornemann Entities have paid and/or withheld all material Taxes including Tax prepayments pursuant to the respective applicable law and the respective applicable regulations of the Tax Authorities (as defined below), and transferred the respective Taxes to the respective competent Tax Authority or other competent authorities if and to the extent such Taxes have become due and payable prior to or on the Closing Date.

(c)

The Bornemann Entities have access to all documents, records and information relating to the period ending on the Closing Date that are (i) necessary for the filing of all outstanding Tax Returns of the Bornemann Entities, (ii) required in the course of Tax examinations, audits or litigations or (iii) pursuant to applicable laws required by any Tax Authority to maintain or preserve.

(d)

All material transactions between the Bornemann Entities on the one hand and any related person on the other hand were conducted on terms which comply with the dealing at arm’s length principle (Fremdvergleichsgrundsatz) under the respective applicable Tax law.

(g)

No claim for any unpaid material Taxes has become an encumbrance against any assets or property of the Bornemann Entities.

(h)

There are no agreements or consents currently in effect and no such agreements or consents have been requested for the waiver of any statute of limitations or extension of time with respect to an assessment or collection of any material Taxes of the Bornemann Entities, other than an extension arising out of an extension of the due date for filing a Tax Return.

9.2

Indemnification obligation of the Sellers

(a)

Pursuant to this Clause 9, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount which is necessary to indemnify the Bornemann Entities against any obligation to pay the following Taxes:

(i)

Taxes, which relate to assessment periods that have ended before the Economical Effective Date or – in the event of assessment periods beginning on or prior to the Economical Effective Date and ending after the Economical Effective Date – relate to the part of these assessment periods ending on the Economical Effective Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Tax related ancillary obligations (in particular interest payments) on any Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes, even if they are levied for or in periods following the Economical Effective Date) (such period the “Pre-Economical Effective Date Period” and the Taxes relating thereto the “Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes”);

(ii)

fees for delay, late-filing penalties, surcharges pursuant to section 162 para. 4 German Fiscal Code, interest, late-payment penalties, coercive fines pursuant to the German Fiscal Code or any comparable non-German provisions, fines and penalties which would not have been payable by the Bornemann Entities if the Tax Guarantee pursuant to Clause 9.1 had been correct;

(Taxes to be indemnified according to (i) through (ii) “Indemnifiable Taxes”).

“Taxes” within the meaning of this Share Purchase Agreement are (i) all taxes pursuant to section 3 of the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung – AO) or any comparable non-German provisions (including withholding on amounts paid to or by any person), including tax-related ancillary obligations associated therewith pursuant to section 3 para. 4 of the German Fiscal Code or any comparable non-German provisions, (ii) secondary liabilities in respect of taxes and tax ancillary payments within the meaning of (i) owed (x) by third parties (Steuerhaftungen) or

(y) under a legal obligation, (iii) social security charges (Sozialversicherungsbeiträge), and (iv)] any penalty, fine, surcharge, cost, expenses or addition thereto resulting from or relating to the positions under (i) through (iii), except for deferred taxes and notional disadvantages such as the reduction of loss carry forwards or of depreciation amounts.

“Tax Authority” within the meaning of this Share Purchase Agreement means any taxing or other authority competent to impose any liability in respect of Tax or responsible for the administration or collection of Tax or enforcement of any law in relation to Tax.

If and to the extent that any claim of the Purchaser pursuant to this Clause 9.2 (a) refers to one of the Bornemann Entities in which the Sellers directly or indirectly held less than 100% of the equity on the Closing Date, the Sellers shall be obliged to indemnify only on a pro rata basis, i.e. the Tax Indemnification Claim pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) shall be limited to the amount that would result if the Sellers’ percentage share in the respective Bornemann Entity’s equity is multiplied by the amount of the claim that would result had the Sellers held 100% of the respective Bornemann Entity’s equity on the Closing Date.

(b)

The Sellers are under no obligation to provide any indemnification under Clause 9.2 (a)

(i)

to the extent that – due to circumstances or facts giving rise to a claim of the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (“Tax Indemnification Claim”) – a tax assessment base of the Purchaser, one of the Bornemann Entities or any company affiliated with the Purchaser or – after the Closing Date – one of the Bornemann Entities (together the “Purchaser’s Group”) is directly or indirectly reduced for example because of higher depreciations, the increase in the valuation for tax purposes of assets, the non-acceptance of liabilities or accruals (deferral) (“Tax Benefit”); the Tax Indemnification Claim pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) is thus reduced by (i) the amount of any Tax Benefits realised until the Tax Indemnification Claim has become due (by means of reduced payment, set-off, increased refund or in any other way) and (ii) the net present value of future, abstractly realisable Tax Benefits (calculated at a flat rate and based on a statutory tax rate of 15.825% p.a. in case of German corporate income tax and 15% p.a. in case of German trade tax, to the extent that the reduction of the assessment base reduces the taxable income for German tax purposes, and 19% p.a. in case

of German value added tax, and in case of foreign Taxes the respective statutory Tax rate for the respective Tax under the applicable foreign law, as well as a on a discounting of 2% p.a., while it is assumed that all abstractly realisable Tax Benefits have been realised at the end of a 5 year period following the Closing Date at the latest. If and to the extent the Tax Benefits results from the determination of a fair market value (Teilwert) for the business line “Exzenterschneckenpumpen” hived down from Joh. Heinr. Bornemann GmbH to its subsidiary Borex GmbH pursuant to Section 123 para. 3 German Transformation Act on the basis of the hive-down agreement dated 27 June 2011, which is higher than EUR 1,465,744.94, the assumption that all abstractly realisable Tax Benefits have been realised at the end of a five year period does not apply; in this case, the net present value of the Tax Benefits shall be calculated on the basis of the respective individual depreciation period for the assets, the tax book value of which is increased due to the higher fair market value. The preceding sentences do not apply if and to the extent a Tax Benefit has already reduced a claim of the Purchaser according to Clause 8.1 (a);

(ii)

to the extent that the respective Indemnifiable Tax has been specifically covered in a liability or provision for Taxes of the Economical Effective Date Statements as set out in detail in the Tax Annex and has been taken into account when fixing the purchase price pursuant to Clause 2.1;

(iii)

to the extent that the Indemnifiable Taxes causally result from (i) a change of the accounting principles of the Bornemann Entities after the Closing Date for the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or (ii) a transaction or action (including changes regarding the exercise of Tax options for the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period, the termination of a Tax group structure existing as at the Closing Date, the approval or implementation of a restructuring measure or the sale of an asset, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any change in the transfer pricing policy of the Bornemann Entities for periods after the Closing Date which shall not exclude an indemnity claim of the Purchaser, provided, however, that such change is made in accordance with applicable tax law), made by the Purchaser or one of the Bornemann Entities after the Closing Date, in each case unless such change, transaction or action under (i) or (ii) is required under applicable law or any official guidance by the competent Tax Authority or requested or approved by the Sellers in writing. The preceding sentence does not apply if and in as far as (x) the change, transaction or action pursuant to (i) or

(ii) of the preceding sentence is compulsory pursuant to applicable law or published opinion by a competent Tax Authority or requested by the Sellers or agreed to in writing by the Sellers or (y) the change, transaction or action pursuant to (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence is initiated or executed by a Bornemann Entity in which the Sellers held less than 100% of the equity on the Closing Date, provided that the Purchaser proves in this case that it could not prevent the change, transaction or action, even though it used its best efforts to prevent the respective change, transaction or action;

(iv)

to the extent that a compensation has been received for the respective Indemnifiable Tax from a third party or there is a valid and enforceable claim for compensation with respect to this Indemnifiable Tax against a third party;

(v)

if and to the extent that the Purchaser has violated one of the provisions set out in Clause 9.5 as regards the respective Indemnifiable Tax and as a consequence the Sellers are hindered from their possibility to fend off the Indemnifiable Tax, to the extent that such action against the Indemnifiable Tax would have been successful;

(vi)

if and to the extent the Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes have been paid until or on the Economical Effective Date, unless the payment or prepayment of the Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes has been taken into account when determining the Tax Advance Claim resulting in an increase of the Tax Advance Claim;

(vii)

if – after having taken into account Clause 9.2 (b) (i) to (vi) – the respective individual Tax Indemnification Claim does not exceed the amount of €[*] (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be determined on a Seller by Seller basis) and if and to the extent that all of the Purchaser’s Tax Indemnification Claims determined in this way in the aggregate do not exceed the amount of €[*] (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be determined on a Seller by Seller basis).

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

(c)

Claims of the Purchaser under Clause 9.2 (a) shall become due and payable within fifteen Banking Days after the Sellers have received the corresponding letter notifying the claim (which has to contain copies of the relevant notices of assessment), but not earlier than two Banking Days prior to the respective Tax becoming due. The Sellers shall not be jointly and severally, but severally liable for the indemnification owed by them pursuant to this Clause 9.2 in accordance with [*]. Möller-Bornemann shall thus be liable for the indemnification regarding [*], Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung for the indemnification regarding [*] and BWK for the indemnification regarding [*] of the total indemnification amount. If and to the extent that the amount of the Taxes to be compensated by the Sellers according to Clause 9.2 is reduced as compared to any compensation that has already been paid by the Sellers, (e.g. due to a successful legal remedy against an underlying Indemnifiable Tax), the Purchaser shall pay the difference, plus any interest paid or credited by the Tax Authorities (but minus any Taxes thereon) related to this difference, to the Sellers according to the [*], i.e. [*] of the total amount to be paid to Möller-Bornemann, [*] to Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung and [*] to BWK.

Each individual claim of the Purchaser arising from Clause 9.2 (a) shall become time-barred separately and on the earlier of (i) the expiry of six months after the formal unappealability of a tax assessment notice following the conduction of a tax audit within the meaning of §§ 193 et seq. German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung – AO) or a comparable provision under foreign law or (ii) the expiry of seven years after the Closing Date.

9.3

Tax refund

(a)

From an economic point of view, the Sellers shall be entitled to any refunds of Taxes of the Bornemann Entities which relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period (including any corporate income tax credit of the Bornemann Entities). Therefore, the Purchaser shall

(i)

after it has received after the Economical Effective Date such a Tax refund for one of the Bornemann Entities by means of payment, set-off, deduction or in any other way or

(ii)

after one of the Bornemann Entities has received after the Economical Effective Date such a Tax refund,

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

pay the respective amount refunded as an additional purchase price to the Sellers, unless – and to such extent – the Tax refund relates to amounts which have been taken into account when determining the Tax Advance Claim resulting in an increase of the Tax Advance Claim. The amount to be paid according to the preceding sentence shall be limited to the respective refunded amount minus (x) any Taxes levied on the Tax refund, which are payable by any member of the Purchaser’s Group, and (y) any Tax disadvantage of any member of the Purchaser’s Group arising in periods after the Economical Effective Date out of circumstances which directly or indirectly lead to a Tax refund; Clause 9.2 (b) (i) shall apply accordingly as regards the determination of the amount of such Tax disadvantage.

If and to the extent that a Tax refund pursuant to this Clause 9.3 (a) refers to one of the Bornemann Entities in which the Sellers directly or indirectly held less than 100% of the equity on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be obliged to reimburse only on a pro rata basis, i.e. the claim pursuant to this Clause 9.3 (a) shall be limited to the amount that would result if the Sellers’ percentage share in the respective Bornemann Entity’s equity is multiplied by the amount of the claim that would result had the Sellers held 100% of the respective Bornemann Entity’s equity on the Closing Date.

Clause 9.2 (b) (vii) shall apply accordingly to any claims of the Sellers under this Clause 9.3 (a).

(b)

Furthermore, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers an amount corresponding to the liabilities or accruals for Taxes accounted for in the Economical Effective Date Statements as set out in detail in the Tax Annex, if and to the extent they have been taken into account when fixing the purchase price pursuant to Clause 2.1 and such Tax liabilities or Tax provisions may be dissolved because it finally turns out based on a non-appealable assessment of the competent Tax Authority that the underlying Taxes are to be paid neither by the Bornemann Entities nor by the Purchaser (“Non-required Tax Liabilities or Tax Accruals”). If and to extent such Taxes are later to be paid by the Bornemann Entities or by the Purchaser due to a new or amended assessment of the competent Tax Authority, Clause 9.2 (a) applies provided, however, that Clause 9.2 (b) (vii) and Clause 9.2 (b) (ii) do not apply.

(c)

The Purchaser shall notify the Sellers in writing of the refunds set out in Clause 9.3 (a) or the Non-required Tax Liabilities or Tax Accruals defined in Clause 9.3 (b) without undue delay and not later than within five Banking Days after it has received the respective assessment or any other notice in this regard from the competent Tax Authority or after the Non-required Tax Liabilities or Tax Accruals can be dissolved. The amount to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to Clause 9.3 (a) shall become payable to the Sellers within two Banking Days after it has been received by means of payment, set-off, deduction or in any other way by the Purchaser or the Bornemann Entity while the amount to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to Clause 9.3 (b) shall become payable to the Sellers within 10 Banking Days after the annual financial accounts of the respective Bornemann Entity have been adopted in which the Non-required Tax Liabilities or Tax Accruals are no longer accounted for. The Purchaser shall pay the amount to the Sellers according to the [*], i.e. it shall pay [*] of the amount to Möller-Bornemann, [*] to Wülfing Vermögensverwaltung and [*] to BWK.

(d)

Claims a Seller is entitled to pursuant to Clause 9.3 shall become time-barred six months after the Sellers have received the written notification pursuant to Clause 9.3 (c) from the Purchaser; however, in case of a claim pursuant to Clause 9.3 (b) such a claim shall not become time-barred until six months after the claim has become payable; in each case, however, not later than seven years after the closing date provided that and to the extent the Purchaser has fulfilled its obligation pursuant to Clause 9.3 (c).

9.4

Allocation of Taxes, cost sharing agreements

(a)

For the purpose of this Share Purchase Agreement, Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes shall be determined as follows:

(i)

In the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income, sales, gross receipts, wages, capital expenditures, expenses or any similar Tax base, the Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant assessment period (Veranlagungszeitraum) and the relevant fiscal year of the respective Bornemann Entity ended on the Economical Effective Date.

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of (a), in the case of transfer Taxes (x) other than VAT or (y) real estate transfer taxes or stamp duties triggered in connection with the Sale of the Bornemann Group, e.g. by entering into this Share Purchase Agreement, for which in the case of (y) only Clause 11.3 applies, any amounts attributable to business transactions (Geschäftsvorfälle) that occur on or prior to the Economical Effective Date shall be a Pre-Economical Effective Date Tax.

(iii)

Without limiting the generality of (a) and (b), in the case of Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, sales, gross receipts, wages, capital expenditures, expenses or any similar Tax base, and other than transfer Taxes, such portion shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire assessment period multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is the number of days of the entire assessment period and the numerator of which is in the case of a Pre-Economical Effective Date Tax the number of days of the portion of such period ending on (and including) the Economical Effective Date.

As far as complying with applicable law and accounting standards, all determinations necessary to give effect to the allocations under this Clause 9.4 shall be made in a manner consistent with the principles set out in § 3.2.

(b)

The Purchaser (i) is responsible that the Bornemann Entities will not exercise any claims based on cost sharing regarding Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes on statutory grounds, against the Sellers or a company affiliated with one or more of them, and (ii) commits itself to indemnify the Sellers against all claims of the Bornemann Entities pursuant to (i).

(c)

The Sellers (i) are responsible that the neither the Sellers nor a company affiliated with one or more of them will exercise any claims based on cost sharing regarding Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes on statutory grounds, against the Bornemann Entities or, and (ii) commit themselves to indemnify the Purchaser against all claims of the Sellers or a company affiliated with one or more of them pursuant to (i).

9.5

Co-operation in Tax matters

The Purchaser undertakes to co-operate with the Sellers – fully in accordance with the principles of good faith – in all Tax matters of the Bornemann Entities which relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period. This shall particularly apply to the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, the conduction of Tax audits, legal remedies or similar procedures as well as to correspondence with Tax Authorities. In detail:

(i)

The Purchaser undertakes (and accepts responsibility) that, as from the Closing Date, the Bornemann Entities will timely file all Tax Returns for the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period.

The Purchaser undertakes (and accepts responsibility) that drafts of such Tax Returns will be made available to the Sellers at least 30 days prior to the due date of the respective Tax Return. The consent of the Sellers is deemed to be granted if the Sellers do not provide the Purchaser within 20 Banking Days after having received the draft Tax Return with reasonably detailed, written comments in respect of the Tax Return. If the Sellers and the Purchaser cannot agree on the contents of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall, if and to the extent it relates to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period, be filed in accordance with the instructions given by the Sellers, provided such instructions comply with mandatory law.

(iii)

The Purchaser undertakes to inform the Sellers in writing within five Banking Days of any Tax audit ordered after the Closing Date or any other administrative or court proceedings relating to Taxes initiated after the Closing Date, each with respect to any of the Bornemann Entities, if the proceedings relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii) (such Tax audit a “Relevant Tax Audit” and such other administrative or proceeding a “Relevant Proceeding”). Once a Bornemann Entity is informed of, or receives a notice announcing a Relevant Tax Audit or a Relevant Proceeding after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall inform the Sellers thereof in writing by sending a copy of the decree ordering such Relevant Tax Audit or of any comparable documentation.

(iv)

The Purchaser undertakes (and accepts responsibility) that, without the Sellers’ prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall be deemed granted if the Sellers have not responded to a respective request of the Purchaser within 15 Banking Days. neither the Purchaser nor any of the Bornemann Entities (i) will accept the results of Relevant Tax Audits vis-à-vis a Tax Authority, or (ii) will acknowledge Tax claims of Tax Authorities, which relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or claims covered by Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), or enter into settlements in this respect.

(v)

(vi)

The obligation of the Purchaser to co-operate with the Sellers shall also include the provision of all relevant files, records and documents as well as the assistance by managing directors, managers and employees. The Purchaser undertakes that all files, records and documents which relate to the Bornemann Entities and could be relevant in connection with a Tax audit or tax investigation will be retained until the expiry of the applicable limitation period.

(vii)

The Purchaser undertakes (and accepts responsibility) that complete copies of all Tax assessment notices concerning Bornemann Entities, which are

issued after the Closing Date and relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or to circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), will be provided to the Sellers within five Banking Days after their receipt by the respective Bornemann Entity. The Purchaser undertakes (and accepts responsibility) that, after the Closing Date (x) the respective Bornemann Entities will upon the Sellers’ written request not object to, or take other legal steps against, a Tax assessment notice to the extent it relates to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or to circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), provided that the Sellers’ expressly confirm in their request that the Taxes assessed in this Tax assessment notice, which relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or to circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), are covered by a Tax Indemnification Claim and that a payment obligation of the Sellers is in particular not excluded according to § 9.2 (b) (v), and (y) upon the Sellers’ request and in accordance with their instructions, the respective Bornemann Entities will object to, and take legal steps against, any decrees, Tax audits, orders, Tax assessment notices or decisions with respect to Taxes to the extent they relate to the Pre-Economical Effective Date Period or to circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), provided such requests and instructions comply with mandatory law. In the alternative, the Sellers may at all times decide that any legal steps regarding Relevant Tax Audits or Relevant Proceedings with respect to Pre-Economical Effective Date Taxes or circumstances, which may lead to a liability of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 9.2 (a) (ii), may be taken at the Sellers’ costs and expense by the Sellers’ selected advisers in the name and on behalf of the Bornemann Entities concerned. In this case, the Purchaser undertakes to authorise the Sellers’ adviser to represent the respective Bornemann Entity; it will give such authorisation without undue delay upon written request (by issuing a power of attorney or any other documents as deemed necessary by the Sellers). In a given case, the Purchaser will also instruct or otherwise prompt the Bornemann Entities to give such authorisation without undue delay as well. The designated advisor has to be replaced upon the written request of the Purchaser if there are compulsory (e.g. in accordance with applicable professional rules) reasons to request such replacement.

(viii)

If and to the extent the Purchaser violates any of its obligations under this Clause 9.5, the Purchaser undertakes to indemnify the Sellers against all

futile costs and expenses caused by such violation and against all additional costs and expenses, to the extent such additional costs and expenses have exclusively been triggered due to the violation.

(ix)

Any reasonable external costs incurred by a member of the Purchaser’s Group and caused by the actions and other measures required or requested by the Sellers under this § 9.5 shall be borne by the Sellers and shall be reimbursed to the Purchaser.

(x)

If and to the extent that any obligation of the Purchaser under this Clause 9.5 refers to one of the Bornemann Entities in which the Sellers directly or indirectly held less than 100% of the equity on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be under no obligation under this Clause 9.5 (a) in connection with such Bornemann Entity if the Purchaser proves that it could not comply with the obligations and the provisions under this Clause 9.5 (a) due to the lack of full control over the respective Bornemann Entity.

(b)

The Sellers undertake to co-operate with the Purchaser – fully in accordance with the principles of good faith – in all Tax matters of the Bornemann Entities which relate to the period until and including the Closing Date. This shall particularly apply to the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, the conduction of Tax audits, legal remedies or similar procedures as well as to correspondence with Tax Authorities. The obligation of the Sellers to co-operate with the Purchaser shall also include the provision of all relevant files, records and documents as well as the assistance by managing directors, managers and employees, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with Tax matters of the Bornemann Entities. The Sellers undertake that all files, records and documents which relate to the Bornemann Entities and could be relevant in connection with a Tax audit or Tax investigation will be retained until the expiry of the applicable limitation period.

9.6

Miscellaneous

All payments under this Clause 9 made by the Sellers to the Purchaser or made by the Purchaser to the Sellers shall constitute a Purchase Price reduction or increase, as the case may be. If and to the extent the Sellers effect any payments to one of the Bornemann Entities, such payments shall, to the extent legally permitted, be regarded as contributions made by the Purchaser to the capital of the respective Bornemann Entity and be treated as a Purchase Price reduction between the Parties.

*	Confidential treatment requested; certain information omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

(b)

The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The presiding arbitrator must be qualified to exercise the functions of a judge (Richter) in the Federal Republic of Germany. Place of arbitration shall be Frankfurt am Main. Language of arbitration shall be German; however, the Parties are not obliged to provide translations of English-language documents submitted as evidence or for similar purposes.

11.7

Interpretation and definitions

The headings of the individual clauses of this Share Purchase Agreement shall be irrelevant for the interpretation hereof. The Annexes shall form an integral part of this Share Purchase Agreement and any reference to this Share Purchase Agreement shall include the Annexes hereto as well. For the purposes of this Share Purchase Agreement, “Banking Day”

shall mean any day on which banks in Frankfurt am Main and Luxembourg are open for business. “Affiliate” shall mean any enterprise affiliated with the respective Party as defined in section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act.

11.8

Joint exercise of rights; Joint declarations

To the extent that this Share Purchase Agreement does not explicitly stipulate anything to the contrary, the following shall apply for the exercise of rights and the issuance of statements by the Sellers:

(a)	Any unilateral rights arising from or in connection with this Agreement may only be exercised jointly by the Sellers.

(b)	The Sellers may only propose or appoint experts acting jointly.

(c)

If any declarations with regard to legal transactions or transactions similar to legal transactions are to be made by more than one of the Seller under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement (including but not limited to giving consent or instructions), and if such declarations affect the relationship of several Sellers with the Purchaser (including but not limited to claims of several Sellers against the Purchaser, claims of the Purchaser against several Sellers, proceedings or legal disputes between, or in connection with the legal relationships between, the Purchaser and several Sellers arising from or in connection with this Agreement), irrespective of whether, formally, a joint claim, joint proceeding or joint legal dispute is concerned, or whether claims, proceedings or legal disputes that are formally separated but based on the same set of facts are concerned, the affected Sellers may only make uniform declarations. In particular, instructions or declarations of consent shall be deemed not to have been given if not all affected Sellers give identical instructions or declarations of consent or if such instructions or declarations of consent are subject to different reservations or restrictions. If not all affected Sellers within 2 weeks following Purchaser’s written notice give an instruction or their consent, such instruction or declaration of consent shall also be deemed not to have been given.

(d)

The right of the Sellers to engage in legal disputes with third parties on behalf of the Purchaser or to be involved in legal disputes, proceedings or negotiations of the Purchaser with third parties and/or authorities of any kind (including but not limited to merger control proceedings, other proceedings involving authorities of any kind, court [or arbitration] proceedings against and out-of-court negotiations with third parties) and/or to participate in corresponding meetings and/or negotiations are subject to the reservation that the entitled Sellers exercise the rights uniformly towards the Purchaser.

(e)

In as far as a legal advisor exercises or issues rights, claims, instructions or other declarations explicitly on behalf of all Sellers jointly, the requirement of a consistent exercise is met, without the need for an explicit authorization by the represented Sellers vis-à-vis the Purchase. The Purchase may at any time request for a written confirmation of the authorization from the Sellers. The authorization’s validity ceases once one of the represented Sellers objects in writing to Purchaser via a legal advisor.

(f)

The right of each Seller to separately conclude a final settlement agreement with the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement shall remain unaffected. The right of each Seller to separately conclude a final settlement agreement with the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, to waive claims and rights against the Purchaser or to agree in any other way with the Purchaser shall remain unaffected and shall in particular have no effect on the rights and claims of the other Sellers.

11.9

Severability clause

Should a provision of this Share Purchase Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The same shall apply if and to the extent it turns out that this Share Purchase Agreement contains any gap. Instead of the invalid or unenforceable provision, or in order to fill the gap, an appropriate provision shall apply which, to the extent legally possible, comes closest to what the Parties intended in economic terms or would have intended according to the spirit and purpose hereof, if they had considered the relevant aspect when entering into this Share Purchase Agreement or including a provision at a later date. This shall also apply if, for instance, the invalidity of a provision is based on a measure of performance or time (time period or date) provided for in this Share Purchase Agreement. In such cases, the agreed measure shall be replaced by a legally permitted measure of performance or time (time period or date) that comes as close as possible to the Parties’ intention.
