The parties shall request that the Independent Expert deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of Closing Net Assets; provided that in no event shall Closing Net Assets as determined by the Independent Expert be less than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Net Assets set forth in the Closing Net Assets Statement nor more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Assets set forth in the Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear half of all costs and expenses of the Independent Expert. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Independent Expert.

(e) Within three (3) Business Days after Final Net Assets has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6,

(i) if Final Net Assets is less than the Base Net Assets, Seller shall pay to Buyer, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner as provided in Section 2.6(f), an amount of cash equal to the difference between the Base Net Assets and Final Net Assets (the “Deficit Amount”); or

(ii) if Final Net Assets exceeds the Base Net Assets, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in the manner as provided in Section 2.6(f), an amount of cash equal to the difference between Final Net Assets and the Base Net Assets (the “Excess Amount”).

(f) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(e) shall be made within three (3) days of such determination by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, if there is a Deficit Amount, or Seller, if there is an Excess Amount, at least one Business Day prior to such transfer.

(g) Subject to Section 10.7(e), any rights accruing to a party under this Section 2.6 shall be in addition to and independent of the rights to indemnification under Article X and any payments made to any party under this Section 2.6 shall not be subject to the terms of Article X.

2.7 Allocation. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, after consultation with, and approval of, Buyer, an allocation statement setting forth Seller’s allocation of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and any other applicable Tax Laws (as the same may be revised pursuant to the following sentence, the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a revised Allocation Statement as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of Final Net Assets. Except as otherwise required by Law, Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (such as IRS Form 8594 or any other forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or any comparable provisions of Law (“Section 1060 Forms”)) in a manner that is consistent with the Allocation Statement and refrain from taking any action inconsistent therewith. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of Section 1060 Forms and file such Section 1060 Forms timely and in the manner required by applicable Law. Buyer and Seller agree to treat any payments made pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

2.8 Consents; Assigned Contracts.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver any Assigned Contracts or any benefit arising under or resulting from any such Assigned Contract if the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof, without the Consent of a third party, (i) would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party, (ii) would be ineffective with respect to any party to such Assigned Contract, or (iii) would, upon transfer, in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer under such Assigned Contract. If the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery by Seller to, or any assumption by, Buyer of any interest in, or Liability under, any Assigned Contract requires the Consent of a third party, then such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assumption shall be subject to such Consent being obtained. If such Consent is obtained with respect to such an Assigned Contract, then immediately and automatically upon such obtainment (x) such Assigned Contract shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be a Purchased Asset sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, delivered, and assumed as of the Closing Date, and (y) all Liabilities under such Assigned Contract (except for such Liabilities that would have been Excluded Liabilities if such Assigned Contract had been a Purchased Asset as of the Closing) shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities assumed by Buyer as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 2.8(b), to the extent any Assigned Contract may not be assigned to Buyer by reason of the absence of any such Consent (“Restricted Contract”), Buyer shall not be required to assume any Assumed Liabilities arising under such Restricted Contract.

(b) To the extent that any Consent in respect of a Restricted Contract shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Consent after the Closing Date. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any economically feasible arrangement proposed by Buyer to provide that Buyer shall receive the interest of Seller in the benefits under such Restricted Contract; provided that, to the extent that Buyer receives any benefits of or under any Restricted Contract, all Liabilities under such Restricted Contract (except for such Liabilities that would have been Excluded Liabilities if such Restricted Contract had been a Purchased Asset as of the Closing) shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities (and shall be the obligation of Buyer) to the fullest extent that performance of such Liabilities is necessary to obtain and maintain such benefits.

The parties agree that, depending on the circumstances, such efforts may include agreeing that (notwithstanding clause (i) of Section 3.3(a)) a portion of the Cash Consideration might be paid by Buyer directly to the plaintiff in a Qualified Lawsuit rather than to Seller, provided that (x) such plaintiff provides a full and unconditional release and dismissal with respect to such Qualified Lawsuit, (y) any such payment would have been an Assumed Liability, and (z) such payment would have the effect of decreasing the Closing Liabilities, and therefore increasing the Closing Assets for purposes of the purchase price adjustment set forth in Section 2.6.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Business does not include the development, construction, operation or sale of wind farm projects or related ventures. It is recognized that the Restricted Business is expected to be conducted throughout the world and that more narrow geographical limitations of any nature on this non-competition covenant (and the non-solicitation covenant set forth in Section 6.8(b)) are therefore not appropriate.

(b) CTC and Seller each covenant that during the Noncompetition Period, each shall not, and it shall cause their Affiliates (other than shareholders of CTC) and their and their respective Affiliates’ directors and officers not to, solicit the employment or engagement of services of any person who is or was employed as an employee, consultant or contractor in the Business during the Noncompetition Period on a full- or part-time basis; provided that CTC, Seller and their Affiliates may continue to engage and use any consultants and contractors used by any of them as of the date hereof other than with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(c) CTC and Seller each acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. CTC and Seller each also acknowledge that any violation of this Section 6.8 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer and agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 6.8, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Buyer may be entitled. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Noncompetition Period shall be extended for an additional period equal to any period during which CTC, Seller or any Subsidiary is in breach of its obligations under this Section 6.8.

(d) In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.8 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.8 and each provision thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.9 Insurance. Seller shall cause each Policy maintained by Seller or Seller Subsidiaries with respect to the Business or covering any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to be amended prior to Closing to name Buyer as an additional insured. Effective upon the Closing, Seller shall appoint Buyer as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in the name of Seller and any relevant Seller Subsidiary, but on behalf of Buyer, to pursue and enforce any and all rights of Seller or any Seller Subsidiary under the Policies with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss with respect to the Business or any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to the extent attributable to events that occurred prior to the Closing.

ARTICLE X

All other covenants and agreements herein shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months.

(d) The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period.” In the event notice of claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or 10.3 is given within the Applicable Survival Period, the representation or warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of such indemnification claim (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee for all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth herein, if applicable) that the Indemnitee may incur in respect of such claim, regardless of when incurred.

10.2 Indemnification by Seller and CTC.

(a) Seller and CTC shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and defend Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all losses, damages, claims (including third party claims), charges, interest, penalties, Taxes, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal, consultant, accounting and other professional fees, costs of sampling, testing, investigation, removal, treatment and remediation of contamination and fees and costs incurred in enforcing rights under this Section 10.2) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to: (i) the failure of any representation and warranty (as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedule) or other statement by Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; or (iii) any Excluded Liability including any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability, regardless of whether or not the Seller Disclosure Schedule discloses any such Excluded Liability.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.2, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a):

(i) only if the amount of Losses with respect to such claim exceeds the amount of $50,000 (any claim involving Losses equal to or less than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”);

(ii) only if, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate Losses to all Buyer Indemnitees, with respect to all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) (other than De Minimis Claims), exceed the amount of $150,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon (subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below) Seller shall be obligated to pay in full all such amounts but only to the extent such aggregate Damages are in excess of the amount of the Deductible; and

(iii) only with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 10.2(a) made on or before the expiration of the survival period pursuant to Section 10.1 for the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, if a survival period is applicable (if the survival period is indefinite, this subsection (iii) shall not apply).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.2, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to aggregate Losses in excess of the amount of 35% of the amount of the Adjusted Cash Consideration (the “Cap”), except with regard to actual fraud and except for specific performance expressly provided in Section 6.8(c); provided, however, that the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to Losses in excess of the Cap solely to the extent that such Losses arise on or prior to September 30, 2010 under clause (i) of Section 10.2(a) solely with respect to a breach of the representation made by Seller in Section 4.15(n) (“4.15(n) Losses”), but in no event shall the Buyer Indemnitees be entitled to aggregate Losses (including 4.15(n) Losses) in excess of 75% of the amount of the Adjusted Cash Consideration; provided, further, that, if DeWind Ltd. has entered into, or filed for, insolvency proceedings or bankruptcy on or prior to September 30, 2010 (any proceedings arising therefrom, a “Qualified Insolvency Proceeding”), then the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to 4.15(n) Losses in excess of the Cap solely to the extent that such 4.15(n) Losses arise prior to the dissolution of DeWind Ltd. and solely to the extent that such 4.15(n) Losses arise directly from claims asserted by, or on behalf of, DeWind Ltd. in connection with such Qualified Insolvency Proceeding, but in no event shall the Buyer Indemnitees be entitled to aggregate Losses (including 4.15(n) Losses) in excess of 75% of the amount of the Adjusted Cash Consideration.

10.3 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller and its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to: (i) the failure of any representation and warranty or other statement by Buyer contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Buyer Disclosure Schedule or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Seller pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Buyer Disclosure Schedule or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (iii) any failure to perform when due the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.3, the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a):

(i) only if the amount of Losses is not a De Minimis Claim;

(ii) only if, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate Losses to all Seller Indemnitees, with respect to all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) (other than De Minimis Claims), exceed the Deductible, whereupon (subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below) Seller shall be obligated to pay in full all such amounts but only to the extent such aggregate Damages are in excess of the amount of the Deductible; and

(iii) only with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 10.2(a) made on or before the expiration of the survival period pursuant to Section 10.1 for the applicable representation or warranty, if a survival period is applicable (if the survival period is indefinite, this subsection (iii) shall not apply).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to aggregate Losses in excess of the Cap, except with regard to fraud.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that an Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the provisions of this Article X (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to defend, conduct and control the defense of the Third Party Claim (“Third Party Defense”) with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right, at the Indemnitee’s expense, to participate in (but not control) such Third Party Defense. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Section 10.4 for any fees of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to defend, conduct and control the defense of such claim after giving notice to the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall promptly and fully pay for all reasonable costs associated with such defense which are incurred by the Indemnitee, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees.

(b) If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim or Third Party Defense may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on or grounds for the basis of, any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor. In connection with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Indemnitor for purposes of any claim that the Indemnitee may have under this Article X with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on the Indemnitee with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(c) Indemnitor and Indemnitee agree to provide each other with reasonable access during regular business hours to the properties, Books and Records and Representatives of the other, as reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation for an existing or anticipated Action involving a Third Party Claim and its obligations with respect thereto pursuant to this Article X.

10.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims.

(a) Except with respect to claims of Buyer regarding any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or claims for a breach of the representation and warranty in Section 4.22 (Environmental), in the event of a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against it, the Indemnitee shall send a Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) and a description of the basis for such claim. The Indemnitor will have 30 days from receipt of such Notice of Claim to dispute the claim and will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitee in determining the validity of the claim for indemnity. If the Indemnitor does not give notice to the Indemnitee that it disputes such claim within 30 days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim, the claim specified in such Notice of Claim will be conclusively deemed a Loss subject to indemnification hereunder.

(b) With respect to any claim of Buyer that does not involve a Third Party Claim but relates to any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or a breach of the representation and warranty in Section 4.22 (Environmental) under this Article X (“Environmental Claim”), Buyer shall provide written notice of any Environmental Claim (along with sufficient detail on the nature and extent of the claim) to Seller within 20 Business Days of Buyer becoming aware of any such Environmental Claim. Seller shall have 20 Business Days after the receipt of any Environmental Claim notice from Buyer to either (i) dispute the validity of the claim or (ii) agree to accept responsibility for the claim. In the event that Seller agrees to accept responsibility for any Environmental Claim, Seller, at its sole discretion, can elect to take control over any remedy or corrective action that may be required with respect to such claim. Buyer shall have a right of reasonable participation in any remedy or corrective action performed by Seller under this Section 10.5(b). Buyer shall only be entitled to indemnification for any Environmental Claim under Section 10.2 to the extent that the remedy or corrective action of the Environmental Claim is required by any Environmental Laws or if Buyer is required by a final order or judgment to pay any damages arising under any applicable Environmental Law.

10.6 Escrow Fund. At the Closing, the Escrow Fund shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held and administered by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and subject to release of certain amount of the funds upon the expiration of certain time periods all as set forth in more detail therein. At any time that a positive balance of Escrow Funds remains in escrow, to the extent that Buyer has any claims against Seller under this Article X arising from either (i) a breach of Section 4.24 related to any Product warranty for the benefit of Enerserve Limited or (ii) a breach of Section 4.15, Buyer’s sole recourse with respect to such claim shall be a claim against the Escrow Funds until the Escrow Funds are depleted (thereafter, Buyer may make claims against Seller).

10.7 General.

(a) The amount which the Indemnitor is or may be required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any insurance proceeds, or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Losses; provided that, to the extent that any Buyer Indemnitee would be entitled to recover any insurance proceeds in connection with any insurance benefits that are Purchased Assets, the amount which the Indemnitor is or may be required to pay to any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by the amount of such entitled insurance proceeds (whether or not actually recovered) that would reduce the related Losses. If an Indemnitee shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnitor in respect of Losses and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such Losses (or shall become entitled to insurance proceeds described in the proviso to the proceeding sentence), then such Indemnitee shall promptly repay to the Indemnitor a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds, or other amounts actually received. The parties agree that any indemnity payments by Seller shall be treated as an adjustment of the Purchase Price. Nothing in this Section 10.7(a) shall obligate any Indemnitee to obtain any insurance recovery in connection with any Losses.

(b) Each Indemnitee shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article X to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Losses; provided that no failure to mitigate will relieve an Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article X to pay any amounts to which such Indemnitor would have otherwise been obligated to pay under this Article X had such Indemnitee mitigated such Losses.

(c) Subject to the rights of any insurance carriers contemplated in Section 10.7(a), the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to any right of action that the Indemnitee may have against any other Person with respect to any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

(d) The indemnification provided in this Article X shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with regard to fraud and except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.8(c). Without limiting the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Buyer with respect to any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or any other matter arising under or relating to Environmental Laws shall be governed exclusively by Article X, and Buyer hereby waives and releases any and all claims at Law or in equity it may have with respect to any Pre-Closing Environmental Liability or any other matter arising under or relating to Environmental Laws.

(e) No item included in the Closing Net Asset Statement or included in the calculation of the Deficit Amount or the Excess Amount (as the case may be) shall constitute Losses for purposes of this Article X.
