Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will cause each Buyer Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable: (i) to recognize all amounts applied to deductibles, co-payments, out-of-pocket maximums and lifetime maximum benefits with respect to each such employee under the corresponding welfare benefit plan of the Acquired Companies; (ii) to recognize all service credited to waiting periods with respect to each such employee under the corresponding welfare benefit plan of the Acquired Companies; (iii) to not impose any limitations on coverage of pre-existing conditions of any such employee, except to the extent such limitations applied to such employee under the corresponding welfare benefit plan of the Acquired Companies; and (iv) to not impose any other conditions (such as proof of good health, evidence of insurability or a requirement of a physical examination) upon the participation by any such employee who was participating in the corresponding welfare benefit plan of the Acquired Companies.

SECTION 10.3 Long-Term Incentive Plan. From and after the Closing until all payments required to be made thereunder have been made, Buyer will cause the Company to retain sponsorship of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan 2003-2007 (the “RSC LTIP”)

and to make payments to participants thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Each Seller will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to, and Sellers will jointly cause any Person jointly owned by Automation and/or any of its Affiliates and Collins and/or any of its Affiliates to, cause to be transferred to the Company, for deposit into the RSC LTIP Fund, one-third of the net cash actually received (net of expenses incurred in connection therewith) by such Member prior to September 30, 2007 from the liquidation by any such Member of securities held by such Member in Portfolio Companies that are held by it, as approved by such Member; provided that, if the securities held by such Member in any of the Portfolio Companies are liquidated by such Member in connection with the sale or transfer of other assets of such Member or any of its Subsidiaries, then the amount, if any, of such net cash attributable to the liquidation of securities held by such Member in such Portfolio Companies shall be determined by such Member in its sole discretion.

SECTION 13.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter, or any Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will reasonably promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim (including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XIII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all non-ministerial notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or to assume (or in the case of a claim under Section 13.1(b), jointly assume) the defense of any Third Party Claim (in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party reasonably agree that a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense.

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and each member of such Indemnified Party’s Group completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or any member of such Indemnified Party’s Group or (y) that, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, would otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party or any member of such Indemnified Party’s Group. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, admit any liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such cooperation), which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party 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.

(e) Any claim on account of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article XIII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.

(f) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party (or, in the case of a claim under Section 13.1(b), by each Indemnifying Party) to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with

such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

SECTION 13.4 Certain Limitations.

(a) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts (or, in the case of a claim under Section 13.1(b), one-half of such amounts for each Indemnifying Party) actually received (including amounts received under insurance policies) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties (net out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with seeking to collect and collecting such amounts) in respect of such Damages (such net amounts are referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). If any Indemnified Party receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each Seller and Buyer will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Representatives to, pursue promptly any claims or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(b) The amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be (i) increased to take account of any Tax cost incurred (grossed up for such increase) by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (unless such indemnity payment is treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes) and (ii) reduced to take account of any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party will be deemed to be subject (A) to the applicable federal and/or local country Income Taxes at the maximum statutory rate then in effect and (B) to state and local Taxes (if applicable) at a combined State and local Tax rate of six percent, which will be tax effected at such maximum Tax rate. Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless a determination (as defined in § 1313 of the Code) or a similar event under foreign Tax Law with respect to the Indemnified Party causes any such payment not to

constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for United States federal Income Tax purposes or foreign Tax purposes, as the case may be.

(c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Seller will have any obligation to indemnify any member of the Buyer Group with respect to any matter if the Damages arise from a change in the accounting or Tax policies or practices of any of the Acquired Companies on or after the Closing Date.

(d) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no member of the Seller Group and no member of the Buyer Group will be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement for its own special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages or lost profits; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent any member of the Seller Group or the Buyer Group from being indemnified for all components of awards against them in claims by third parties, including special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages and lost profits components of such claims.

SECTION 13.5 Dollar Limitations.

(a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no monetary amount will be payable by any Seller to any member of the Buyer Group with respect to the indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to representations and warranties regarding brokers contained in Section 6.21) until the aggregate amount of Damages actually incurred by the Buyer Group with respect to such claims against both Sellers shall exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event each Seller shall be responsible only for one-half of the amount in excess of the Deductible. In addition, no Seller will be responsible for making payments with respect to Damages for any individual items pursuant to Sections 13.1(a)(i) or Section 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to representations and warranties regarding brokers contained in Sections 5.6 and 6.21) where the aggregate Damages relating thereto are less than Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000) and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether aggregate Damages incurred by the Buyer Group exceed the Deductible. In connection with any claim for indemnification under 13.1(b)(i), Buyer and the other members of the Buyer Group will promptly provide each Seller with written notice of all claims included in the Deductible and copies of all documents reasonably requested by any Seller relating thereto.

(b) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the aggregate amount for which any Seller shall be responsible to indemnify all members of the Buyer Group for all claims under Sections 13.1(a)(i) and 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to such Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to title to the RSC Shares contained in Section 5.5 and brokers contained in Sections 5.6 and Section 6.21) exceed, and each Seller’s aggregate liability under Sections 13.1(a)(i) and 13.1(b)(i) (other than with respect to claims relating to such Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to title to the RSC Shares contained in Section 5.5 and brokers

contained in Sections 5.6 and 6.21) shall be limited to, Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($8,500,000).

(c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the aggregate amount for which any Seller shall be responsible to indemnify all members of the Buyer Group for all claims under Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(i), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(iii), 13.1(b)(iv) and 13.1(b)(v) exceed, and each Seller’s aggregate liability under Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(i), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(iii), 13.1(b)(iv) and 13.1(b)(v) shall be limited to, an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price paid to such Seller.

SECTION 13.6 Termination of Indemnification Obligations.

(a) The representations and warranties of any Seller, Sellers or Buyer contained in Articles V, VI and VII (other than representations and warranties with respect to brokers contained in Sections 5.6, 6.21 and 7.9, representations and warranties with respect to intellectual property matters contained in Section 6.14, representations and warranties with respect to employees contained in Section 6.17, representations and warranties with respect to environmental matters contained in Section 6.19 and representations and warranties with respect to ownership of the RSC Shares contained in Section 5.5), will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), as applicable, until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect) one year after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect to intellectual property matters contained in Section 6.14 and the representations and warranties with respect to employees contained in Section 6.17 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Section 13.1(b)(i) until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect), two years after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect to environmental matters contained in Section 6.19 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Section 13.1(b)(i) until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect), three years after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties with respect to brokers contained in Sections 5.6, 6.21 and 7.9 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), as applicable, until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect when) all applicable statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof) have expired. Each Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to ownership of the RSC Shares contained in Section 5.5 will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Section 13.1(a)(i) without time limitation. Each other representation and warranty made by any Party contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in or made pursuant to any closing certificate or other instrument or agreement delivered by any Party pursuant to this Agreement shall not survive (and will expire at) the Closing and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and no Party will have any obligation to provide indemnification or other Liability in respect thereof.

(b) The obligations of each Party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Persons (i) pursuant to Sections 13.1(a)(ii), 13.1(b)(ii), 13.1(b)(v) and 13.2(b), will terminate upon the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof), (ii) pursuant to Sections 13.1(a)(i), 13.1(b)(i) and 13.2(a), will terminate

when the applicable representation or warranty expires pursuant to Section 13.6(a), (iii) pursuant to Sections 13.1(b)(iii), 13.1(b)(iv), 13.2(c), 13.2(d), 13.2(e), 13.2(f), 13.2(g), 13.2(h) and 13.2(i), will not terminate at any time; provided, however, that as to clauses (i) and (ii) above, such obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any individual item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 13.7 Exclusive Remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, except for claims of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Article XIII and Section 15.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and each member of the Seller Group and Buyer Group for breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall preclude assertion by members of the Seller Group or Buyer Group of any of other rights, claims or causes of action or the seeking of any other remedies, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, under Law (including statutory or common law) or otherwise, against Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) or any Member, respectively, with respect to breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, all of which Buyer (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Buyer Group) and each Seller (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of its and its Affiliates’ Representatives) hereby waives.

SECTION 15.5 Waiver. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. No waiver by any Party shall be effective unless it is evidenced by a written agreement making specific reference hereto executed by the Party granting such waiver.

SECTION 15.6 Schedules.

(a) All Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. The mere inclusion of information in any Schedule hereto as an exception to a representation, warranty or covenant (i) shall not be deemed an admission by any Party that such information represents a material exception or a material fact, event or circumstance or that such information has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a “material adverse effect” on any Seller’s or Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, or (ii) constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such information. Matters reflected on any Schedule to this Agreement are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected on such Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Matters disclosed by any Seller or Sellers to Buyer pursuant to any Section of or Schedule to this Agreement (or any section of any Schedule to this Agreement) will be deemed to be disclosed with respect to all Sections of and Schedules to this Agreement (and all sections of all Schedules to this Agreement) to the extent the disclosure is reasonably applicable to such other Sections or Schedules. Capitalized terms used in any Schedule to this Agreement but not otherwise defined therein will have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement. If any matter set forth in the final Closing Date Schedule Supplement delivered to Buyer at the Closing was not included

in the draft thereof delivered to Buyer at least three days prior to the Closing and does not relate to matters arising after delivery of such draft delivered at least three days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have the option to postpone the Closing Date for up to two business days.

(b) Sellers will have the right to deliver to Buyer at the Closing a supplement to the Schedules hereto (the “Closing Date Schedule Supplement”) containing any matters arising or discovered after the date hereof which, if occurring prior to the date hereof, are required or permitted to be set forth or described on such Schedules. The Closing Date Schedule Supplement will have no effect for the purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 11.1 or any other condition to Closing. The Closing Date Schedule Supplement will, however, for purposes of determining whether any Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.1 or whether any Seller or Sellers have breached any of its representations and warranties hereunder for any purpose other than Section 11.1, be deemed to amend the Schedules hereto referenced in the Closing Date Schedule Supplement to reflect the matters set forth therein. Sellers will provide to Buyer a draft of the Closing Date Schedule Supplement at least three days prior to the Closing, provided that such draft may be updated by Sellers in the final Closing Date Schedule Supplement delivered to Buyer at the Closing.

SECTION 15.7 Captions, Currency. The article, section and paragraph captions herein and the table of contents hereto are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to numbered articles or sections are to articles and sections of this Agreement and all references herein to exhibits or schedules are to exhibits and schedules to this Agreement.

SECTION 15.8 Construction; Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement and the Schedules to this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa; (b) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “herewith” and “hereunder” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (c) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will mean “including, without limitation”, unless otherwise specified; and (d) the word “or” will not be exclusive.

SECTION 15.9 No Representations or Warranties.

(a) The representations and warranties contained in Article V and Article VI are in lieu of and are exclusive of all other representations and warranties by any Seller, Sellers, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person.

It is expressly understood and agreed that Buyer accepts the condition of the assets of the Acquired Companies “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” AND, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN ARTICLE VI, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, AND IN PARTICULAR, WITHOUT ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(b) With respect to any projection or forecast delivered by or on behalf of any of the Members, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Representatives to Buyer or any of its Representatives, Buyer acknowledges that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and forecasts, (ii) Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, (iii) Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all such projections and forecasts so delivered, and (iv) none of Buyer or its Representatives or any other Person shall have any claim against any Member, any of their respective Representatives or any other Person with respect thereto (provided that the foregoing does not affect Sellers’ representations set forth in Section 6.5 that except as set forth therein, the Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Acquired Companies as of the dates set forth therein and for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of the financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2006, to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments)).

SECTION 15.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or

unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such term or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

SECTION 15.11 Dispute Resolution. In the event that any dispute, claim or controversy arises with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, this Agreement, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Agreement or any provision hereof (collectively, a “Dispute”), designees of Sellers and Buyer will meet to attempt a good faith resolution of such Dispute within thirty days after either Party notifies the other Parties of a Dispute. During the period between such notification of a Dispute and thirty days after such meeting, each Party shall be entitled to make any reasonable investigation of the claims or issues underlying such Dispute that such Party deems reasonably necessary or desirable and, in connection with such investigation, each Party agrees to make available to the other Parties and its Representatives the information reasonably requested by the other Parties in connection therewith. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty days of such meeting, any Party may make a written demand to the other Parties for formal dispute resolution, which demand will specify the nature of the Dispute. Within thirty days of such written demand, or such other time as the Parties may agree, the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by mediation in accordance with the then-existing CPR Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes, promulgated by the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution in Chicago, Illinois. If such mediation is unsuccessful within thirty days after commencement thereof, any Party may pursue any other remedies available to it, subject to Section 13.7.

SECTION 15.12 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Subject to Section 15.11, each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Court of Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware and (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, this Agreement, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Agreement or any provision hereof (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 15.4 will be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in any such courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, this Agreement, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity of this Agreement or any provision hereof in (i) the Court of Chancery in and for the State of Delaware and the Superior Court in and for the State of Delaware or (ii) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought

in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in Law or in equity.

(b) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THE BREACH, PERFORMANCE, ENFORCEMENT, VALIDITY OR INVALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.

SECTION 15.13 Expenses.
