(iv)    all Liabilities for Taxes, whether or not accrued, assessed or currently due and payable, relating to the operation or ownership of the Business or the Acquired Assets for any period (or portion thereof in the case of a Straddle Period, Taxes in respect of which shall be apportioned in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.5(c)) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are reflected as a Liability on the Final Working Capital, as well as: (A) any Liabilities for Taxes (whether or not relating to the Business), which are related to the Person of the applicable Asset Seller, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any income or capital gain Taxes realized on the sale of the Acquired Assets, and (B) any Taxes of any other Person for which an applicable Asset Seller (or Buyer in respect of its acquisition of the Acquired Assets) is held liable by virtue of contract (other than a routine commercial contract entered into in the ordinary course of business the principal purpose of which is not the allocation of Taxes), pursuant to applicable Law, as a transferee or successor or otherwise;
(v)    all Liabilities arising out of or relating to Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business, to the extent relating to any fact, circumstance, occurrence, condition, act or omission first occurring or existing, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing Date;
(vi)    the Liabilities relating to or arising out of the termination of Business Employees, but only to the extent expressly provided in Section 5.6(c)(iii); and
(vii)    all other Liabilities listed or described on Schedule 2.2(c)(vii).
Section 2.3    Transfer of Shares. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause the Share Sellers to, sell, convey, assign and transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer will purchase, acquire and accept from Seller Parent and the Share Sellers, all of Seller Parent’s and the Share Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Sold Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 2.4    Consideration.
(a)    On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration of the sale, assignment and transfer of the Sold Shares and the Acquired Assets, in addition to the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities, the Buyer will pay to the Sellers, $215,000,000, plus (i) Estimated Closing Net Cash (which may be a negative number), plus (ii) the Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment, if any, minus (iii) the Estimated Seller Parent Working Capital Payment, if any, minus (iv) the amount set forth on

16


Schedule 2.4(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars (such net amount, the “Initial Purchase Price,” and as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.4(c), 2.4(d) and 2.7, the “Purchase Price”), to an account or accounts designated by Seller Parent in writing at least seven (7) Business Days before the Closing Date. With regard to the sale and transfer of the Sold Shares, it is the common understanding of the parties hereto that such sale and transfer is not subject to VAT, and no party hereto shall waive any exemption from VAT pursuant to Section 9 German Value Added Tax Act (“VATA”, Umsatsteuergesetz) or any similar provision under non-German VAT Laws. If any VAT accrues contrary to this understanding for any other reason than the waiver of a VAT exemption by the respective Share Seller, the Buyer shall pay such VAT after receipt of an invoice issued by the Seller in compliance with applicable VAT Laws. If and to the extent that VAT shall apply under applicable Law due to the sale and transfer of Acquired Assets, it shall become payable by the Buyer in addition to the Initial Purchase Price and the Purchase Price, unless the reverse charge procedure (Leistungsempfänger als Steuerschuldner) will apply. The Buyer shall pay such VAT to the applicable Seller or, in the case that the reverse charge procedure shall apply, to the applicable Taxing Authority, in each case, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of a proper invoice from the applicable Seller complying with the requirements of VAT Law in the applicable jurisdiction and enabling the Buyer to claim such VAT as input VAT.
Should any asset sale by any of the Asset Sellers qualify as transfer of a going concern (Geschäftsveräußerung im Ganzen) being out of scope of VAT, the parties hereto shall seek and cooperate to treat the respective asset sale as such and provide each other with all relevant information for that purpose and the applicable Seller will provide the Buyer within twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date with all documentation (including calculations) required for an adjustment of input VAT according to Section 15a German VATA or any similar provision under any non-German Tax Law including copies of the invoices (Section 15 para 10 German VATA or any similar provision under any non-German Tax Law). If a VAT amount actually payable as a consequence of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement turns out to be higher or lower than the amount shown on the relevant invoice issued by the applicable Asset Seller (including if no VAT has been invoiced at all) due to (i) an assessment after Closing of a Taxing Authority in charge of the applicable Seller’s or of the Buyer’s or (ii) for any other reason identified by the parties after Closing, the parties shall make appropriate declarations and filings with the relevant Governmental Authorities, amend any invoices (to the extent required by applicable VAT Laws), provide to the respective other party any requested information and copies of relevant documents and make any required payments to each other and the Governmental Authorities, respectively, in each case without undue delay. In particular, if according to a determination made by a Taxing Authority in charge of the applicable Asset Seller’s VAT affairs decides the VAT payable by the Asset Seller is higher than shown on the relevant invoice (including if no VAT has been invoiced at all), the Buyer shall pay the corresponding shortfall amount to the applicable Asset Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of notification of the shortfall amount and of a corrected invoice which complies with the provisions of the VAT Laws from the applicable Asset Seller, but not earlier than five (5) Business Days before the applicable VAT becomes due (taking into account any extension of the due date granted by the Taxing Authority). If according to a determination made by a Taxing Authority in charge of the applicable Asset Seller’s or Buyer’s VAT affairs decides the VAT payable by the Asset Seller is lower than shown on the relevant invoice (including if no VAT should have been triggered at all), the respective Asset Seller shall repay the corresponding excess amount to the Buyer within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the corresponding Tax assessment notice from the Taxing Authority and provide the Buyer with a corrected invoice

17


which complies with the provisions of the VAT Laws. Any interest and/or penalty due to be paid to a Taxing Authority on the VAT due because of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be equally borne by Seller Parent and the Buyer, unless and to the extent such interest and/or penalty is triggered by a failure of one party to timely pay the VAT in accordance with the determination pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), in which case such party shall bear the applicable interest and/or penalty. Any claims of the Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, resulting from this Section 2.4(a) shall become time barred in accordance with Section 9.5(b).  
(b)    Seller Parent has delivered to the Buyer a statement of Working Capital, Indebtedness and Cash of the Business (the “Reference Date Calculations”) as of December 31, 2018 (the “Reference Date”), a copy of which is set forth in Schedule 2.4(b). The Reference Date Calculations have been prepared in accordance with the Calculation Principles. Seller Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Buyer all information reasonably requested by the Buyer, including any work papers (including those prepared by Seller Parent’s accountant) and other supporting documents, used in preparing the Reference Date Calculations. The Parties agree that the Reference Date Calculations provide an accurate example of how the Actual Working Capital and Estimated Closing Net Cash (including the components thereof) are to be prepared for the purposes of this Agreement.
(c)    No later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall deliver to the Buyer a statement of Working Capital of the Business (the “Preliminary Closing Working Capital”), setting forth Seller Parent’s good faith estimate of the amount of Working Capital of the Business as of the Effective Time (such estimate, the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Preliminary Closing Working Capital will be in the format set out in Working Capital included in the Reference Date Calculations and shall be prepared using (i) the same policies and procedures (including asset valuation allowances) used in the preparation of the Working Capital included in the Reference Date Calculations; and (ii) the Calculation Principles. The parties agree that none of the Preliminary Closing Working Capital, the Actual Working Capital, the Initial Statement, the Final Working Capital and the Final Statement shall take into account any events to occur or occurring after the Closing. The amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital is referred to herein as the “Estimated Buyer Working Capital Payment”. The amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital is referred to herein as the “Estimated Seller Parent Working Capital Payment”. The “Target Working Capital” is $211,521,000. The calculation of the Target Working Capital is set forth on Schedule 2.4(c).
(d)    No later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall deliver to the Buyer a good faith estimate of Cash of the Business as of the Effective Time and Indebtedness of the Business as of the Effective Time, in each case, prepared in accordance with the Calculation Principles (the amount of such Cash net of such Indebtedness, which amount may be a negative number, “Closing Net Cash”, and such estimate referred to as “Estimated Closing Net Cash”). At the Closing, (i) to the extent Estimated Closing Net Cash is positive, the Buyer shall pay to Seller Parent the amount of Estimated Closing Net Cash in the manner contemplated by, and in accordance with, Section 2.4(a) and (ii) to the extent Estimated Closing Net Cash is negative, Seller Parent shall pay to the Buyer the amount of Estimated Closing Net Cash, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account or accounts designated by the Buyer or Seller Parent, as applicable, in writing at least seven (7)

18


Business Days before the Closing Date. Following the Closing, the parties shall calculate and agree upon Closing Net Cash as provided in Section 2.7.
Section 2.5    The Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article VIII, and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10104, on a day that is at least five Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII hereof (excluding conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied at Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place and time as may be agreed upon by Seller Parent and the Buyer (the “Closing Date”). Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Closing will be deemed to have occurred in each applicable jurisdiction with the expiry (24:00, local time) of the Closing Date (with respect to each such jurisdiction, the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.7    Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller Parent a statement (the “Initial Statement”) calculating and setting forth the actual Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the amount calculated and set forth on such Initial Statement, the “Actual Working Capital”) and the actual Closing Net Cash, which statement shall include a worksheet setting forth in reasonable detail how such amounts were calculated and which will be compared against the Estimated Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Cash. The Initial Statement shall be prepared (i) in accordance with the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with the same classifications, judgments and estimation methodology (including asset valuation allowances) used by Seller Parent in the preparation of the Reference Date Calculations and (ii) the Calculation Principles. In calculating the Actual Working Capital (as well as Closing Net Cash, including each component thereof, and each other component of the Purchase Price), the respective amounts included therein, including for reserves (including accounts receivable reserves) and for asset valuation allowances, that were valued for purposes of the Reference Date Calculations shall be calculated using the same methodology in respect of such items used in connection with the Reference Date Calculations (the “Agreed Valuation Principles”).
(b)    During the sixty (60) days immediately following Seller Parent’s receipt of the Initial Statement (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Review Period”), Seller Parent shall be permitted to review the Buyer’s working papers and any working papers of the Buyer’s independent accountants relating to the preparation of the Initial Statement and the calculation of the Actual Working Capital and Closing Net Cash, as well as all of the books, records and other relevant information relating to the Actual Working Capital and Closing Net Cash with respect to the period up to and including the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall make reasonably available to Seller Parent the individuals responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation or calculation of, the Initial Statement, the Actual Working Capital and Closing Net Cash.
(c)    Seller Parent shall notify the Buyer in writing (the “Adjustment Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Purchase Price Adjustment Review Period if Seller Parent disagrees with the Initial Statement, the Actual Working Capital or Closing Net Cash. The Adjustment Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and Seller Parent’s determination of the amount of the Actual Working Capital and/or Closing Net Cash, together with a worksheet setting forth in reasonable detail how such amounts were calculated. If no Adjustment Notice is received by the Buyer on or prior to the expiration date of the Purchase Price Adjustment Review Period, then the Initial Statement, and the Actual Working Capital and Closing Net Cash set forth in the Initial Statement, shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller Parent and shall become final and binding upon Seller Parent and the Buyer.
(d)    During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of an Adjustment Notice (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Consultation Period”), Seller Parent and the Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Adjustment Notice. Seller Parent will provide the Buyer and its accountants access to any relevant books and records of the Business not in the possession of the Buyer, work papers and to any other information necessary to evaluate the Adjustment Notice,

22


and Seller Parent shall make reasonably available to the Buyer the individuals responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation or calculation of, the Adjustment Notice and each component included therein.
(e)    If, at the end of the Purchase Price Adjustment Consultation Period, Seller Parent and the Buyer have been unable to resolve all disagreements that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Adjustment Notice, then Seller Parent and the Buyer shall submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Adjustment Notice (along with a copy of the Initial Statement marked to indicate those line items that are in dispute) to Ernst & Young (“EY”) (the “Independent Accountant”). In the event that EY refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, Seller Parent and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to Seller Parent and the Buyer, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such firm. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on Seller Parent and the Buyer, on the basis of the Agreed Valuation Principles and in accordance with Section 2.4(c), Section 2.4(d), Section 2.7(a) and this Section 2.7(e), of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the Initial Statement as to which Seller Parent and the Buyer disagree as specified in the Adjustment Notice. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller Parent or the Buyer, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Buyer in the Initial Statement or Seller Parent in the Adjustment Notice with respect to such disputed line item. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matter other than those matters in the Adjustment Notice that remain in dispute. The statement of the Working Capital as of the Effective Time and Closing Net Cash and the determination of the Working Capital and Closing Net Cash set forth therein that are final and binding on Seller Parent and the Buyer, as determined either through agreement of Seller Parent and the Buyer (deemed or otherwise) pursuant to Section 2.7(c) or through the determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.7(e), are referred to herein as the “Final Statement”, the “Final Working Capital” and the “Final Closing Net Cash”, respectively.
(f)    The cost of the Independent Accountant’s review and determination shall be shared equally by Seller Parent and the Buyer. Seller Parent and the Buyer shall each bear the fees of their respective counsel, auditors and other representatives incurred in connection with the determination and review of the Initial Statement. During the review by the Independent Accountant, the Buyer and Seller Parent shall each make available to the Independent Accountant and to the other party such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by (i) the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.7(e) or (ii) such other party in order for it to fully participate in the dispute resolution process.
(g)    The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum of (1) the Final Working Capital plus (2) the Final Closing Net Cash (such sum, the “Final Adjustment Amount”) is greater or less than (B) the sum of (1) the Estimated Working Capital plus (2) the Estimated Closing Net Cash (such sum, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”); provided; that if (x) the Final Adjustment Amount is equal to the Estimated Adjustment Amount,

23


(y) the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount by less than $1,000,000 or (z) the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount by less than $1,000,000, the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be deemed to be zero. If the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount, then Seller Parent shall be obligated to pay in cash directly to the Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Buyer shall be obligated to pay in cash directly to Seller Parent an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. Any such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller Parent or the Buyer, as applicable, within seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Final Statement, Final Working Capital and Final Closing Net Cash become such (the later of (1) the date on which payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment payment is made, if any, or (2) the date on which the Final Statement, Final Working Capital and Final Closing Net Cash become such, the “Post-Closing Adjustment Determination Date”).
(h)    In the event that either party discovers within ninety (90) days after the Closing that there exists any Seller Intercompany Balance or Sold Company Intercompany Balance then such party shall inform the other party, in writing, of the balances so discovered, together with reasonable supporting detail therefor and such other party will have sixty (60) days thereafter (such period, the “Intercompany Balance Review Period”) to review such information and to provide any objection to the calculations presented. During the Intercompany Balance Review Period, the parties shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences in their respective positions with respect to Seller Intercompany Balances or Sold Company Intercompany Balances, and make their respective representatives reasonably available to answer questions as to their respective positions with respect to such amounts. If the parties are unable to agree on any such amount during the Intercompany Balance Review Period, then such dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accountant and resolved in accordance with the dispute provisions set forth in Section 2.7(e). Upon final agreement as to the Seller Intercompany Balances and Sold Intercompany Balances (or upon the Independent Accountant’s final determination thereof, which shall be final and binding on the parties) the absolute value of the difference between all such Seller Intercompany Balances so discovered and all such Sold Intercompany Balances so discovered shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement (i) an increase to the Purchase Price if the Sold Company Intercompany Balances are greater than the Seller Intercompany Balances and (ii) a decrease to the Purchase Price if the Seller Intercompany Balances are greater than the Sold Company Intercompany Balances. Such deemed adjustment shall be finalized between the parties no later than the date on which the Working Capital as of the Effective Time and Closing Net Cash are deemed final for purposes of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.7(e). For purposes of this Agreement, a payable discovered after Closing in favor of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (that prior to Closing was an intercompany payable and was not taken into account in the calculations of Final Working Capital) shall herein be referred to as a “Seller Intercompany Balance” and a payable discovered after Closing in favor of a Sold Company or any Subsidiary of a Sold Company (that prior to Closing was an intercompany payable and was not taken into account in the calculations of Final Working Capital) shall herein be referred to as a “Sold Company Intercompany Balance.”
(i)    In the event that Seller Parent determines that an Organschaft payment or transfer pricing adjustment payment (each, a “Required Tax Payment”) is required after Closing between Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates and a Sold Company (or any Subsidiary of a Sold

24


Company) then such payments shall be made by the parties in the following manner, with the impact on the Purchase Price as described below. If a Required Tax Payment is made by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates to a Sold Company (or any Subsidiary of a Sold Company) then the amount of such Required Tax Payment shall be deemed to be an increase in the Purchase Price by the exact amount of the Required Tax Payment, such that the net impact of both amounts shall be zero (0). If a Required Tax Payment is made by a Sold Company (or any Subsidiary of a Sold Company) to Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates then the amount of such Required Tax Payment shall be deemed to be a decrease in the Purchase Price by the exact amount of the Required Tax Payment, such that the net impact of both amounts shall be zero (0).
(j)    The parties agree that any amount used for purposes of determining the Post-Closing Adjustment, Seller Intercompany Balance, Sold Company Intercompany Balance or any other similar Purchase Price adjustment or as a basis for any indemnification hereunder, shall be counted only once and may not be counted in more than one Purchase Price adjustment or indemnification claim hereunder.
Section 2.8    Works Council Matters.
(a)    Seller Parent and the Buyer acknowledge that, under French labor Laws, the works council of Terex France will need to be informed and consulted with respect to the offer made by the Buyer to acquire the total outstanding equity interests and voting rights of Terex France (the “French Shares”) and the employees of Terex France will need to be informed of this projected sale and given the possibility to submit a purchase offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless and until Seller Parent has executed and delivered to the Buyer the France Exercise Notice, for the purpose of this Article II, Terex France will not be considered to be a Sold Company.
(b)    On the terms and conditions set forth in the option letter signed by the Buyer and delivered to Seller Parent on the date of this Agreement (the “French Option Letter” and the put option set forth therein, the “French Put Option”), including the price specified therein (the “France Purchase Price”), the Buyer has irrevocably granted a binding and firm option (promesse unilatérale d’achat irrévocable), in accordance with article 1124 of the French Code Civil, to require the Buyer to acquire the French Shares (within the time limit set forth therein) and to have the provisions of this Article II apply to the French Shares following completion of the consultation process described in Section 2.8(a). Subject to and only after exercise of the French Put Option by French Seller following effective and valid completion of the consultation process and employee information described in Section 2.8(a), and upon delivery to the Buyer of the executed exercise notice attached as Schedule 2 to the French Option Letter (the “France Exercise Notice”), this Article II shall be effective with respect to the French Shares, Terex France shall be included in the Sold Companies, and the Purchase Price shall be increased by the France Purchase Price (it being understood that the Purchase Price does not assume delivery of the France Exercise Notice and therefore does not already include the France Purchase Price) and at or prior to Closing, the Seller Parent shall deliver to the Buyer:
(i)    a copy of the information letter on the contemplated sale of the French Shares sent out to the employees of Terex France in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 23-10-7 of the French Commercial Code;

25


(ii)    a copy of Terex France’s works council’s opinion with respect to the transfer of the French Shares;
(iii)    duly executed share transfer forms (ordres de mouvement) in favour of the Buyer in respect of the transfers of the French Shares; and
(iv)    duly executed tax transfer deed (actes réitératifs) in respect of the transfers of the French Shares, to the Buyer; and
(v)    the shareholders’ accounts (compte titres d’actionnaires) and share transfer register (registre de mouvements de titres) of Terex France, duly updated to reflect the transfers of the French Shares to the Buyer.
(c)    The Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller Parent and its relevant Affiliates in connection with the applicable consultation process described in this Section 2.8, including timely provision of any required information relating to the Buyer in respect of such consultation process.
(d)    If, as a result of the consultation process of the works council, changes to this Agreement or further arrangements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are considered necessary, Seller Parent and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith on such changes (if any) to this Agreement or further arrangements (if any) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements that are appropriate, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the French Option Letter.
Section 2.9    Purchase Price Allocation.
(a)    The Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and, if applicable, the liabilities of the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent properly included as purchase consideration for Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets, the Sold Shares and, if applicable, among the assets of the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries, in proportion to their respective fair market values and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law as appropriate. Within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Seller Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a draft of the allocation provided for in the immediately preceding sentence (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”). The Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review and comment on such Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. If the Buyer does not notify Seller Parent in writing of any objections within thirty (30) days or if Seller Parent and the Buyer mutually resolve any objections, each of Seller Parent and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall become final and binding. To the extent the Buyer and Seller Parent cannot resolve any and all such objections within thirty (30) days following the Buyer’s receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, then the dispute resolution procedures of Section 2.7(e) and Section 2.7(f) shall apply mutatis mutandis and upon resolution of any disputed matters, the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall become final and binding. In the event an adjustment to the Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 2.7 or otherwise under this Agreement, the allocation of the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and, if applicable, the liabilities of the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent properly included as purchase consideration for Tax purposes) shall be revised to allocate such adjustment to the

The parties agree that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and all information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)    Each of Seller Parent and the Buyer shall (i) as promptly as practicable make all filings under applicable Other Competition Laws, if any, required or advisable (as agreed upon by the parties) for the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) as promptly as practicable make all required filings for approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby under applicable laws of Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom. Any such antitrust notification and report form or filing and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the applicable Other Competition Laws, as the case may be. All other regulatory filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable

50


Laws. Each of Seller Parent and the Buyer shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under applicable Other Competition Laws or other applicable laws and regulations, as the case may be. Seller Parent and the Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information and documentary material from any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.
(c)    Without limiting the generality of the undertakings and subsections (a), (b) and (d) of this Section 5.3 and subject to any appropriate confidentiality protections, Seller Parent and the Buyer shall each furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with the foregoing and shall each promptly provide outside counsel for the other party with copies of all filings made by such party, and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Affiliates to a Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.4    Third Party Consents. Seller Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consent of any Person (other than Governmental Authorities) required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with such parties in obtaining such Consents. To the extent that Seller Parent and the Buyer are unable to obtain any required third party Consents prior to the Closing (such Consents, the “Post-Closing Consents”), each of Seller Parent and the Buyer, respectively, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts (including the making of any filing required to obtain any Post-Closing Consents) to obtain (or cause to be obtained) as promptly as practicable all Post-Closing Consents. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “all commercially reasonable efforts” shall not be deemed to require any Person to pay or commit to pay any material amount to (or incur any material obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required.
Section 5.5    Tax Matters.
(a)    The Buyer and Seller Parent agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating directly to the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), the Acquired Assets or the Business

51


(including, in each case, access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Return; provided, however, that if such requested information is contained within a document containing any unrelated information, only portions pertaining to such relevant information shall be furnished. The Buyer and Seller Parent shall each retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), the Acquired Assets and the Business within their respective possessions until thirty (30) days following the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer and Seller Parent, as the case may be, any extensions thereof). At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least 30 days’ prior written notice before destroying or disposing of any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. If a party destroys or disposes of any such books and records prior to the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations, then such party that prematurely destroyed or disposed of such books and records shall be fully responsible for any Tax payment, including any penalties, resulting from, related to or arising out of the destruction or disposal of such books and records.
(b)    Seller Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), the Acquired Assets or the Business for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with the past practice of Seller Parent, the Sold Companies and the applicable Asset Sellers (in each case, to the extent relating to the Business, and/or the Sold Companies, as applicable), in filing their Tax Returns unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller Parent shall forward to the Buyer copies of any such Tax Returns (other than income Tax Returns of any Asset Seller, and any consolidated, combined, unitary or other group Tax Return including the Sold Companies for such taxable period) reasonably requested by Buyer for its review and comment (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return or (ii) in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed, and shall make such changes as are requested thereto by the Buyer to the extent reasonable and consistent with applicable Law. Seller Parent shall timely file each such Tax Return or forward such Tax Returns to the Buyer for filing. Seller Parent shall be responsible for, and shall pay the amount of, any Taxes shown as due on any such Tax Returns to the extent in excess of any accrual in respect thereof that was taken into account in the Final Working Capital, and Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall pay the amount of, any Taxes shown as due on any such Tax Returns to the extent of any accrual in respect thereof that was taken into account in the Final Working Capital, with the timing of such payment in each case determined in accordance with Section 9.7(c). The Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), the Acquired Assets or the Business for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to a taxable period ending after the Closing Date which begins on or before the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Buyer shall provide Seller Parent with a draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return (and such additional information regarding such Straddle Period Tax Return as may reasonably be requested by Seller Parent consistent with applicable Law) for its review and comment (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return or (ii) in the case of a Tax Return that is

52


required to be filed within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed; provided, that in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to afford Seller Parent a reasonable opportunity to review such Straddle Period Tax Return prior to filing such Tax Return. The Buyer shall make all changes to Straddle Period Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller Parent, to the extent permitted under applicable Law. The Buyer, its applicable Affiliates, or the applicable Sold Companies or Sold Company Subsidiary, as the case may require, shall pay the amount shown to be due on any such Tax Returns to the relevant Taxing Authority. To the extent the Taxes due with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Returns are the responsibility of Seller Parent pursuant to Section 9.7(a), Seller Parent shall pay to the Buyer the amount of such Taxes, with the timing of such payment determined in accordance with Section 9.7(c).
(c)    For purposes of Section 5.5(b) and otherwise under this Agreement, other than with respect to Transfer Taxes, in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period (including refunds of, or credits in lieu thereof attributable to, such Taxes), the Parties shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of each of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries) and the Asset Sellers (with respect to the Business) for all Tax purposes. In any case where applicable Law does not permit any Sold Company (including their respective Subsidiaries) or the Asset Sellers (with respect to the Business) to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period, the amount of any Taxes for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (x), in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains, receipts, employment, sales, use, or other Taxes imposed on a non-periodic basis, be based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any pass-through entity or controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of the Code) shall be deemed to terminate at such time), provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period, and (y), in the case of property, ad valorem and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries) or the Sellers (with respect to the Business), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Taxes relating to any transactions initiated by the Buyer that are not in the ordinary course of business that occur after the time of the Closing on the Closing Date shall be treated as occurring on the day after the Closing Date.

53


(d)    Tax Elections.
(i)    Without the written consent of Seller Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) shall not make any Tax election under the Code (or the Tax Laws of any other jurisdiction) with respect to the Sold Companies or their respective Subsidiaries which would cause the sale of the Sold Shares to be treated as an asset sale for Tax purposes, including any “check-the-box” election pursuant to Section ###-###-####-3 of the Treasury regulations or any election pursuant to Section 338 or Section 336(e) of the Code (or, in each case, any comparable state, local or non-U.S. Law). At the request of Seller Parent (including any additional Taxes of Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) arising as a result of any such election), the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) shall make, or shall join Seller Parent (or any Affiliate of the Seller Parent) in making, any such election under the Code (or the Tax Laws of any other jurisdiction) with respect to the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, and shall execute and file any documentation and take any action as is necessary to effectuate such election; provided, however, that Seller Parent shall pay all costs of evaluating, preparing and filing any such election, and any additional Taxes, costs, expenses or other losses incurred by Buyer, any Sold Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, arising as a result of, or otherwise attributable to, the making of any such elections, as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies and their respective Subsidiaries) shall, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), file or cause to be filed any amended any Tax Return or claim for Tax refund with respect to the Sold Companies or their respective Subsidiaries (or, in each case, relating to their income, properties or operations) or the Acquired Assets, consent to the waiver or extension of the statute of limitations relating to Taxes of the Sold Companies, the Subsidiaries of the Sold Companies or the Acquired Assets, take any Tax position on any Tax Return, or compromise or settle any Tax liability, in each case, if such action would be reasonably likely to have the effect of increasing the liability of Seller Parent, or its Affiliates for Taxes under this Agreement. Seller Parent shall be deemed to have given its consent if Seller Parent does not provide written comments within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of a written request from the Buyer specifying the subject matter in reasonable detail and including copies of all necessary documentation.
(e)    Any Tax refunds that are received by the Buyer, or the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), and any amounts credited against Tax to which the Buyer or the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries) become entitled, which refunds or amounts credited relate to taxable periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date, shall be for the account of Seller Parent, except to the extent that amounts in respect of the right to such refund are reflected in the Final Working Capital, and the Buyer shall pay over to Seller Parent the amount of any such refund or any such credit (net of Taxes, if any, incurred solely as a result of the receipt of such refund) within fifteen (15) days after the receipt or entitlement thereto. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund, credit or other Tax benefit or offsetting adjustment in connection with any audits, examinations or Tax proceedings results in a refund (or credit against otherwise currently payable Tax) by a Taxing Authority to the

54


Buyer or the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries) of any amount accrued for any taxable period (or portions thereof in the case of the Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date, including any Tax benefits allowable in connection with the Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets, then other than to the extent such refund or credit was taken into account on the Final Working Capital, the Buyer shall pay the amount of any such refund or credit (net of Taxes, if any, incurred solely as a result of the receipt of such refund) to Seller Parent within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. The Buyer agrees that it shall not, without Seller Parent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), cause or permit the Sold Companies (or their respective Subsidiaries) to carry back to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date any net operating loss, loss from operations or other Tax attribute, and further agrees that Seller Parent has no obligation under this Agreement to return or remit any refund or other Tax benefit attributable to a breach by the Buyer of the foregoing undertaking. For purposes of this Section 5.5(e), to the extent that any Tax reflected as a Liability in the Final Working Capital exceeds the amount of such Tax actually paid, or due and payable, to the relevant Taxing Authority, the amount of such excess shall be treated as a Tax refund for the account of Seller Parent.
(f)    Organschaft and Transfer Pricing Payments. Any Required Tax Payments shall be made in accordance with Section 2.7(i) of this Agreement. With respect to the VAT fiscal unity (umsatzsteuerliche Organschaft) between Terex Germany as the controlling company (Organträger) and Terex Cranes purchased by means of share transfer as contemplated under this Agreement as the controlled entity (Organgesellschaft), Terex Cranes shall, and the Buyer shall procure that the Terex Cranes will reimburse Terex Germany for any output VAT (Umsatzsteuer), which (i) relates to supplies rendered or advance payments received by Terex Cranes until and including the Closing Date and (ii) is paid or otherwise settled by Terex Germany in its capacity as the controlling company, and Seller Parent shall procure that Terex Germany will reimburse the Terex Cranes for any input VAT (Vorsteuer), which relates to supplies or advanced payments received by Terex Cranes until and including the Closing Date; and credited to Terex Germany in its capacity as the controlling company; and Seller shall procure that Terex Germany will reimburse Terex Cranes for any special advance payment (Sondervorauszahlung) if and to the extent the Terex Cranes indemnified Terex Germany in respect of such special advance payment (Sondervorauszahlung). Terex Cranes shall not be required to reimburse Terex Germany and Terex Germany shall not be required to reimburse Terex Cranes if, and to the extent that, Terex Cranes effected payment of the respective output VAT amount to Terex Germany or received payment of the respective input VAT amount from Terex Germany, as the case may be, until and including the Closing Date.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 9.1(a), 9.2, 9.4, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 hereof shall apply to all obligations under Section  5.5 hereof.

69


Section 9.5    Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant hereto will survive the Closing and will remain in full force and effect thereafter until 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in (a) Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2(a) (Authorization; Enforceability), Section 3.3 (Capital Stock of the Sold Companies), Section 3.4 (Subsidiaries), Section 3.21 (No Brokers’ or Other Fees), Section 4.1 (Organization) and Section 4.2(a) (Authorization; Enforceability) and Section 4.7 (No Brokers’ or other Fees) shall survive indefinitely, (b) Section 2.4 (Consideration), Section 3.10 (Tax Matters), Section 5.5 (Tax Matters), Section 5.11 (Expenses; Transfer Taxes) and Section 9.7 (Tax Indemnity) shall survive the Closing Date until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided, that for German Tax purposes, the statute of limitations shall not be deemed to expire any earlier than ninety (90) days after the relevant Tax assessment notices (Steuerbescheide) for the respective fiscal year/taxing period have become final, binding and non-appealable (formell und materiell bestandskraftig), and (c) Section 3.15 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that, in any case under the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c), all survival periods shall be extended automatically to include any time period necessary to resolve a good faith claim for indemnification which was made in accordance with Section 9.6 before the expiration of such survival period but not resolved prior to its expiration.
Section 9.6    Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
(a)    If there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, the party or parties seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after becoming aware of such event, provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not excuse the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby, so long as in any event the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing `of the claim and the facts relating to it prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the good faith basis upon which indemnification is then being sought. For a period of thirty (30) days following such notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such claim. Thereafter, either party may exercise any right or remedy available hereunder.
(b)    If any third party notifies any party hereto with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement against the other party hereto, then the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing promptly, but in no event later than 30 days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such notice, stating the nature and basis of any claim made by the third party; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby, so long as in any event the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim and the facts relating to it prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period. Within 30 days after receiving such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. To the extent the

70


Indemnifying Party does not dispute the claim for indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense (it being agreed that counsel for an Indemnifying Party’s insurer shall be deemed consented to by the Indemnified Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not (x) consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to any matter or (y) enter into any settlement which, in either case, does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto and is not consented to in writing by the Indemnified Party. To the extent the Indemnifying Party elects to take over the defense of such third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if (i) the named parties to an action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by its outside counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in such event, the Indemnified Party may engage separate counsel (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) for such action or proceeding at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party (A) fails timely to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will defend against a third party claim, (B) disputes the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or (C) fails to commence, or if commenced, fails to prosecute, a diligent defense of a third party claim, then in either of such events, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, to undertake the defense of such claim (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), and to compromise or settle such claim, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make available such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
Section 9.7    Tax Indemnity. Other than as specifically set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.4 and 9.9:
(a)    Seller Parent shall indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives and hold them harmless against (i) all Tax liabilities of Seller Parent, the Sold Companies or their Affiliates (including their respective Subsidiaries) for all taxable periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period, which shall be apportioned in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.5(c)) ending on or before the Closing Date, including interest accrued on such Tax Liabilities (even to the extent accruing after the Closing Date), except to the extent such Taxes are reflected as a Liability on the Final Working Capital, (ii) all Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities, (iii) all Tax liabilities arising out of or due to any breach of any covenant or other agreement of Seller Parent, any Seller or any Sold Company contained in this Agreement, (iv) any amount of receivables for Tax refunds, which have been reflected in the Final Working Capital, if and to the extent that such Tax refund proves non-recoverable and the respective receivable needs to be dissolved in the applicable Sold Company’s or Sold Company Subsidiary’s individual financial

71


statements, (v) any Taxes payable by the Sold Companies (including the Sold Company Subsidiaries) to the extent such Taxes are caused by Transaction Expenses, even if the payment triggering the respective Tax occurs after Closing (including but not limited to withholding Taxes on deemed dividends or payroll Taxes on transaction bonuses), (vi) Transfer Taxes allocable to Seller Parent in accordance with Section 5.11(b) and (vii) any Taxes attributable to the restructuring of the ownership of the Acquired Assets between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date; provided, however, that no indemnification will be provided in any case with respect to: (A) any such Tax liability that results from any action of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), the Buyer, any of their Affiliates, or any transferee of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries), in each case, after the Closing that takes retroactive effect under the applicable Tax Law (i.e., any such action, regardless of when taken, affects Tax liability in a taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates is liable or has assumed an indemnification obligation), other than to the extent that implementation of these measures is required under applicable Law or has been agreed to in writing with Seller Parent (such measures described in this clause (A), including the conclusion and/or termination of the PLPA, change of Tax accounting practices or Tax election rights or retroactive reorganizations, each, a “Buyer Tax Act”), (B) any legal fees or expenses incurred in connection with a Buyer Tax Act, or (C) any such Tax to the extent that such Tax has already been paid to the relevant Taxing Authority on or before the Closing Date.
(b)    The Buyer shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies and their Subsidiaries) and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against (i) all Tax liabilities of the Sold Companies (including their respective Subsidiaries) or with respect to the Acquired Assets (A) resulting from any Buyer Tax Act or (B) with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof in the case of a Straddle Period, the Taxes in respect of which shall be apportioned in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.5(c)) that begins after the Closing Date, (ii) all Taxes that are Assumed Liabilities, (iii) Transfer Taxes allocable to the Buyer in accordance with Section 5.11(b) and (iv) all Tax Liabilities arising out of or due to any breach of any covenant or other agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement.
(c)    Payment by the indemnitor of any amount due under this Section 9.7 shall be made within ten (10) Business Days following written notice by the indemnitee that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority is due, provided that the indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) Business Days before it is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority. In the case of any written notice by any of the Buyer or its Affiliates indicating that Taxes are due for a Straddle Period Tax Return, such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations regarding Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes, and if within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Seller Parent notifies the Buyer in writing that it disagrees with the computation of its share of such Taxes, Seller Parent and the Buyer shall proceed in good faith to determine Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes. If Seller Parent and the Buyer cannot agree in good faith on such share within thirty (30) days after Seller Parent’s receipt of such notice, Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes shall be determined pursuant to Section 9.7(e); provided, that if the amount of Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes is not finally determined prior to the date that such Taxes are due and payable, Seller Parent shall pay its share of the amount of such Taxes as determined by the Buyer, and if it is subsequently determined that Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes was less than the amount determined by the Buyer, the Buyer shall pay such

72


excess amount to Seller Parent. Seller Parent’s payment to the Buyer shall be due three (3) Business Days after the amount payable by Seller Parent is determined by agreement between Seller Parent and the Buyer or pursuant to Section 9.7(e), subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 9.7(c). In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.8 below, other than a Tax that is due and payable in connection with filing an applicable Tax Return, payment of the Tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court. For the avoidance of doubt, any interest incurred by the Buyer or its Affiliates (including any Sold Company or Sold Company Subsidiary after the Closing) in relation to a suspension of Tax payments, if requested by Seller Parent pursuant to Section 9.8 shall be borne by Seller Parent.
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of a party to indemnify and hold harmless another party pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall terminate in accordance with Section 9.5(b).
(e)    Any disputes between the parties with respect to the Tax matters regarding the Sold Companies or their respective Subsidiaries (or, in each case, relating to their income, properties or operations) or the Acquired Assets in Sections 5.5, 9.7 and 9.8 shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute provisions set forth in Section 2.7(e) mutatis mutandis. The parties shall each bear the fees of their respective counsel, accountants and other representatives incurred in connection with any such disputes.
Section 9.8    Procedures Relating to Indemnity of Tax Claims.
(a)    If a claim shall be made against the Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment to the Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, or one of their respective Affiliates pursuant to Section 9.7(a) or (b) (a “Tax Claim”), the Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Seller Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. If notice of a Tax Claim is not given within a sufficient period of time to allow Seller Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, to effectively contest such Tax Claim, or in reasonable detail to apprise Seller Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, of the nature of the Tax Claim, in each case taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim, Seller Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be liable to the Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates to the extent that Seller Parent’s or the Buyer’s, as the case may be, ability to effectively contest such Tax Claim is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.
(b)    With respect to any Tax Claim that relates solely to a taxable period of a Sold Company or Sold Company Subsidiary ending on or before the Closing Date, at Seller

73


Parent’s election and Seller Parent’s sole expense, Seller Parent and Seller Parent’s professional advisors shall have the right to reasonably control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim, including whether to pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto, whether to sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits, and whether to otherwise contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided that (1) the Buyer and its professional advisors shall have the right to participate in, and consult with Seller Parent regarding, the course of any such audit or proceeding to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer, an adverse determination in any such audit or proceeding would result in a material Tax liability of the Buyer, the Sold Companies (including their Sold Company Subsidiaries) or any of their Affiliates in a Tax period that ends after the Closing and (2) Seller Parent shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(c)    The Buyer shall have the exclusive right to control the conduct of any Tax Claim described in subparagraph (b) that Seller Parent does not elect to direct, any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period (other than a Straddle Period) that begins after the Closing Date, as well as a Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period so long as the matter does not relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes applicable to a Sold Company (including their respective Subsidiaries) or Seller Parent (or Affiliate) for any portion of such period prior to the Closing Date. If such Tax Claim does relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes for any portion of such period prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall have the rights, and shall have such obligations, as specified in the preceding paragraph (b). With respect to any Tax Claim relating to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and that is not covered by the immediately preceding sentence, the Buyer shall control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) but shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be deemed to be granted if Seller Parent does not respond within twenty (20) Business Days (or ten (10) days in the case of urgent matters, which shall be specified in the communication requesting such approval) after receipt of the Buyer’s request for such approval), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase the liability of Seller Parent for Taxes under Section 9.7 of this Agreement, unless the Buyer indemnifies the Sellers for the increase in Taxes resulting from such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement.
Section 9.9    Other Limitations on Indemnification.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Article V or IX for any Losses to the extent that such Losses (a) relate to any action taken by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or representatives in breach of this Agreement or (b) are reflected as a liability of the Business on the Final Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Seller Parent Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Article V or IX for any Losses to the extent that such Losses (a) relate to any action taken by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates or representatives in breach of this Agreement.

74


(b)    The Buyer shall (or shall cause the named insured under the R&W Policy to), on behalf of the applicable Buyer Indemnified Person(s), first seek recovery for any portion of Losses that would otherwise constitute indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article IX and that are subject to coverage under R&W Policy (“Covered Losses”). With respect to indemnifiable Losses arising under Sections 9.1(a)(i), 9.1(a)(iii), 9.1(a)(iv) or 9.7, Seller Parent shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person for those Covered Losses that are actually recovered by the applicable Buyer Indemnified Person(s) from the R&W Policy, and any claim for indemnity pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(i) with respect to any Covered Losses shall be held in abeyance pending the full and final resolution of any applicable claim under the R&W Policy. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer Indemnified Person(s) shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available to them under this Agreement concurrently with seeking recovery under the R&W Policy, subject to the obligations of Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to all other provisions of this Article IX (expressly including, without limitation, the obligation to refund any insurance proceeds subsequently received pursuant to Section 9.4(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the R&W Policy is not procured and issued in accordance with Section 5.23 of this Agreement, then this Section 9.9(b) shall not apply and shall be of no force and effect.
Section 9.10    Characterization of Indemnity Payments. Seller Parent and the Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
Section 9.11    Certain Indemnification Matters.
(a)    The parties agree that Seller Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, defend against the claims or liabilities set forth in Schedule 9.1(a)(v) at its own cost and expense, and shall control such defense, including by retaining and directing counsel and other professionals in connection with such defense; provided, that Seller Parent shall not enter into any settlement of such claims without receiving the Buyer’s prior written consent if such settlement does not include a full and unconditional release of the Buyer and its Affiliates, and no statement or admission of responsibility by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. The Buyer covenants and agrees that after the Closing, the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with Seller Parent and any retained professionals and other representatives Seller Parent reasonably chooses to engage in connection with the defense, including by providing reasonable access to any relevant documents, employees (including but not limited to Klaus Meissner), and other material information that is reasonably necessary in the defense of such matters, in each case, at the sole cost of Seller Parent; provided, that with respect to employees, such access shall not (i) obligate any such employee (or the Buyer to cause any such employee) to miss an unreasonable amount of work or (ii) otherwise cause unreasonable interference with such employees duties with respect to the Business; provided, further, that the Buyer may, upon advice of outside counsel, deny any such access pursuant to this sentence if in the opinion of such outside counsel, doing so would cause the Buyer to lose privilege, violate confidentiality, or violate applicable Law. The Buyer further covenants and agrees that in the event that after the Closing it receives any claims, notices or other information relevant to the defense of the claims or liabilities set forth in Schedule 9.1(a)(v), it will provide such material to Seller Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof.

75


(b)    In the event an indemnity claim under Section 9.1(a)(x) has been asserted against Seller Parent, Seller Parent shall have the right to control and direct the process of mitigating the amount indemnifiable with respect to such claim, including, without limitation, (i) retaining and directing professionals, (ii) directing any product repossessions, refurbishments, remarketing and resales (including pricing), and (iii) such other actions that reasonably prudent companies conducting a business similar to the Business would be likely to undertake. The Buyer covenants and agrees that after the Closing, the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with Seller Parent in such mitigation efforts.
ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the Laws of the State of New York.
Section 10.2    Projections. In connection with the Buyer’s investigation of the Sold Companies and the Business, the Buyer may have received, or may receive, from Seller Parent and/or their respective representatives certain projections and other forecasts for the Business, and certain business plan and budget information. The Buyer acknowledges that (a) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, (b) the Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, and (c) the Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it. Accordingly, the Buyer acknowledges that Seller Parent makes no representation or warranty with respect to such projections, forecasts, business plans or budget information and that Seller Parent makes only those representations and warranties explicitly set forth in Article III.
Section 10.3    Materiality; Schedules.
(a)    As used in this Agreement, unless the context would require otherwise, the terms “material” and the concept of the “material” nature of an effect upon the Sold Companies or the Business shall be measured relative to the entire Business, taken as a whole, as such business is currently being conducted.
(b)    With respect to the Schedules hereto, the disclosures made on any Schedule with respect to any representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made with respect to any other representation or warranty to which the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face.
Section 10.4    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

76


Section 10.5    Waiver. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, which may be lawfully waived, may be waived in writing at any time by each party which is entitled to the benefits thereof.

No failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of such provision and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
Section 10.6    Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by the Buyer or Seller Parent (including by operation of law in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Buyer or Seller Parent) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Closing, the Buyer may assign its right to purchase the Acquired Assets, the Sold Shares or any of its other rights or any portion thereof hereunder to one or more Affiliates of the Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, provided that such assignment (a) shall not relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder, (b) will not render a representation of the Buyer hereunder untrue and (c) does not adversely impact or delay the obtaining of any material Consent required by this Agreement to be obtained, or otherwise hinder or delay the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Parent may, or may cause its Affiliates to, transfer assets, create holding companies or otherwise restructure the Business to facilitate the sale to the Buyer, so long as such restructuring is consented to beforehand in writing by the Buyer. After the Closing, any merger, consolidation, restructuring or other transaction involving the Buyer, any of the Sold Companies, any Sold Company Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall not materially impair any of the rights of any such party or such party’s legal successor under this Agreement, whether to indemnification or otherwise.

Upon such determination that any provision or the application thereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.
