(iv) It is understood and agreed that (A) Buyers’ expressed intention to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section 10.1 shall not constitute any commitment, Contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of Buyers to a post Closing employment relationship of any particular length of time, of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment and that Buyer has agreed to herein, and (B) employment offered by Buyer is “at will” and may be terminated by Buyer or by an employee at any time for any reason. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of a Buyer to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any of the Hired Active Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of any such Hired Active Employee.

(vi) With respect to any medical or other welfare benefit plans offered or provided by Buyers and a Buyer Benefit Plan to Hired Active Employees, to the extent permitted by the insurers, the Buyers shall continue such medical and other welfare benefit plans in Buyers’ own names and all Hired Active Employees may participate in such plans under substantially the same terms and conditions as they previously participated in similar plans provided by Sellers.

(a) In the event that a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (an “Indemnified Person”) shall incur or suffer Damages in respect of which a claim for indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 6, such Indemnified Person shall give written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) stating the nature and basis of such claim. Upon receipt of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such claim. If no resolution is reached within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of negotiations, then either Person may commence an action against the other Person in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 8.4 or to other mediation or arbitration as may be mutually agreed by the parties.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give the Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim but in any event within ten (10) days of the filing or other written assertion of any such claim against the Indemnified Person, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person within such time period will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

(c) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 6.10(b) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 6.10(c), the Indemnifying Person, shall have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in good faith in connection therewith, (ii) to take all actions to settle or defend any such claim and (iii) to employ counsel of the Indemnifying Person’s choosing, which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to contest any such claim in the name of the Indemnified Person; provided that unless a settlement of a claim contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person, includes no findings of wrongdoing or

EXECUTION VERSION

other findings that may negatively impact the business, reputation or prospects of the Indemnified Party or could otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party and the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, no settlement shall be effected without the advance written consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any Proceedings relating to any Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Person if representation by both parties by the same counsel presents a conflict of interest or is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. The Indemnifying Person shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Indemnification Notice, notify the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of any such claim. Until the Indemnified Person has received notice of the Indemnifying Person’s election whether to defend any such claim, the Indemnified Person shall take reasonable steps to defend (but not settle or compromise) such claim. If the Indemnifying Person shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, or shall fail to notify the Indemnified Person within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice of the Indemnifying Person’s election to defend such claim, the Indemnified Person shall defend such claim. The expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of any such claims (other than those incurred by the Indemnified Person which are referred to in the first clause of the third sentence of this Section 6.10) shall be borne by the Indemnifying Person but only if the Indemnifying Person is responsible pursuant hereto to indemnify the Indemnified Person in respect of such claim and, if applicable, only to the extent required by ARTICLE 6. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of such claim, the parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.10(c) to the contrary, in the event that a Third-Party Claim is asserted that relates to matters involving Taxes or Environmental matters, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to control the defense, compromise or settle any such Third-Party Claim, at its sole election, by its own counsel, the costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided that, unless a settlement of such a Third-Party Claim contains an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party, if applicable, no settlement shall be effected without the advance written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that API Parent or a Buyer undertakes a voluntary Remedial Action, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to control such voluntary Remedial Action, at its sole election, by its own counsel or professionals, the costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, any such Remedial Action shall not exceed the cost of the level of Remedial Action necessary to allow for the continued commercial/industrial use of the Leased Real Property consistent with its use as of the Closing Date, which may include the use of engineered control barriers and institutional controls when permitted by applicable Environmental Law, and further provided, that such barriers or institutional controls do not unreasonably restrict the use or value of the property or impede the operation of the Business.

EXECUTION VERSION

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE 6: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such reasonable assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE 6, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(g) The Indemnified Person shall provide to the Indemnifying Person such information and documentation in the Indemnified Person’s possession that the Indemnifying Person may reasonably request and that is not privileged and is reasonably necessary to support and verify any Damages which the Indemnified Person believes gives rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Person reasonable access upon reasonable notice to all books, records and personnel in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Person which would have a bearing on such claim.

Section 6.11 No Limitation on Right to Contest. Nothing in the ARTICLE 6 shall be construed as a limitation on the Indemnifying Person’s right to contest in good faith whether the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 6 with respect to a particular claim.

Section 6.12 Sole Remedy. From and after the Closing, except as set forth in Section 5.6 and for actions brought to enforce specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with Section 7.1 and Section 8.5, the indemnification provided for in Section 5.13 and this ARTICLE 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including, without limitation, for any Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations and restrictions on remedies and amounts recoverable set forth in this ARTICLE 6 shall not apply to any claim arising by reason of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any party.

EXECUTION VERSION

Section 6.13 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE 6 shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. Unless otherwise required by Legal Requirement, no party shall take any position inconsistent with the foregoing for any federal or applicable state or local income tax purposes.

ARTICLE 7. CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Confidential Information. From and after the Closing, each Seller covenants and agrees with API Parent and Buyers that it will not at any time, except in performance of its obligations to API Parent and Buyers, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit Sellers’ respective Representatives to disclose or publish, any material confidential information with respect to the Business, excluding information to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities, or use any such information in a manner detrimental to the interests of Buyers, unless (a) such information becomes generally known to the public through no fault of a Seller or their respective Representatives, (b) the disclosing party is advised in writing by counsel that disclosure is required by Legal Requirement or the Order of any Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction, (c) the disclosing party reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with a subpoena served upon or in the defense of a lawsuit against the disclosing party, or (d) to the extent the disclosing party reasonably believes that such disclosure is required to enforce the disclosing party’s rights under this Agreement; provided that, prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above, such Person shall give prior notice, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, to Buyers and provide Buyers with the opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure.

Section 7.2 Securities Law Restrictions. Sellers acknowledge that they are aware, and will advise their Representatives who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this Agreement, that the United States securities laws prohibit persons with material non-public information about a company obtained directly or indirectly from that company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities on the basis of such information.

Section 8.4 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the courts of the State of Delaware, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction in any other court. The parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any Proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this section may be served on any party anywhere in the world. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

EXECUTION VERSION

Section 8.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement, the confidentiality agreement dated July 27, 2009, amended as of September 16, 2009 between API Parent and Sellers and the Shareholders, supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent dated September 16, 2009) and constitutes (along with the Disclosure Schedule, agreements, exhibits, schedules, certificates and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter.

Section 8.8 Disclosure Schedule.

(a) The information in the Disclosure Schedule and the Buyer Disclosure Schedule constitutes (i) exceptions to particular representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Sellers and Shareholders and Buyers and API Parent, respectively, as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) descriptions or lists of assets and liabilities and other items referred to in this Agreement. Disclosure of any information, agreement, or other item that may or may not be strictly required to be disclosed by the Agreement shall not imply or be deemed to imply that such information, agreement, or other item is or is not material or that the inclusion or exclusion of any such item creates a standard of materiality. In no event shall the listing of any information, agreement, or other item in the Disclosure Schedule or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amplify Sellers’ and Shareholders’ or Buyers’ and API Parent’s, as applicable, representations and warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in the Agreement, and nothing in the Disclosure Schedule or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall influence the construction or interpretation of any of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.

(b) The disclosure in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule or the Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections or subsections herein to the extent that it is clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other section or subsections.

No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that, a Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of a Buyer or Subsidiary of API Parent and may collaterally assign its rights hereunder to any financial institution providing financing in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; provided further that, API Parent may not assign or delegate its obligations to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3 without Sellers’ prior written consent; and provided further that, each Seller may assign or delegate the right to receive the Consideration Shares to a Related Person of such Seller without API Parent’s or any Buyer’s prior written consent so long as such assignment is consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws and if reasonably requested, the Seller will provide an opinion of counsel to API Parent to such effect. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 8.9.

Section 8.10 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, enforceable or contrary to public policy by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being performed, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Contemplated Transactions hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
