ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE

     2.1 Purchase Price.

          (a) The “Purchase Price” shall equal $26,500,000 less (1) the Capitalization Deficit, if any, less (2) the payments due under Section 2.7 (unless otherwise paid by the

Company out of cash held by the Company immediately prior to the Closing). The Purchase Price shall be paid in cash and Buyer Common Stock as follows:

               (i) $6,625,000 (25% of $26,500,000) of the Purchase Price shall be paid in Buyer Common Stock, calculated by dividing the applicable value by the Ten Day Trading Average Price (the “Stock Purchase Price”); and

               (ii) the balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash (the “Cash Purchase Price”).

     The Purchase Price shall be further adjusted as provided in Section 2.4 below.

     2.2 Calculation and Payment of Estimated Purchase Price.

          (a) The amount of cash to be paid at the Closing Date shall be determined based on the following:

          Not less than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Buyer a reasonably detailed statement (the “Estimated Statement”) in the form set forth on Exhibit A containing (i) good faith estimates of the Capitalization Amount (including a calculation of the Working Capital Amount) and the accrued but unpaid Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the Closing, (ii) the Company’s calculation of the Purchase Price (based on the Company’s good faith estimates of the Capitalization Amount and accrued but unpaid Transaction Expenses) pursuant to Section 2.1 (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) and (iii) the calculation of the Cash Escrow, Capitalization Escrow and the Stock Escrow. The Estimated Statement shall be based upon the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall be subject to Buyer review (including review of reasonable backup information) prior to being formally delivered under this paragraph 2.2(a).

          (b) At the Closing, the Buyer shall (i) pay to the Seller the Cash Purchase Price (adjusted as contemplated above) less the Cash Escrow and the Capitalization Escrow, and (ii) instruct its transfer agent to prepare and deliver a stock certificate to the Seller evidencing the Stock Purchase Price (adjusted as contemplated above) less the Stock Escrow.

          (c) At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Seller the Cash Escrow and the Capitalization Escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and Section 2.3. Buyer shall cause the Stock Escrow to be deposited with the Escrow Agent promptly after the Closing on behalf of the Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and Section 2.3.

          (d) At the Closing, the Company shall first pay the accrued but unpaid Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Estimated Statement to the extent there is a Capitalization Surplus and the Buyer shall next pay any remaining amounts of accrued but unpaid Transaction Expenses.

     2.3 Escrow.

          (a) For purposes of payment of the obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii) and Article 10, the Capitalization Escrow and the Indemnity Escrow shall be held in escrow and shall be available to satisfy such parties’ obligations under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement until distribution is required under the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

          (b) On the date eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, all remaining portions of the Cash Escrow and Stock Escrow shall be released to the Seller; provided, however, the portions so released shall be reduced by (A) any pending Claim pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), Article 10 or the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (B) all final and binding obligations with respect to Claims pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), Article 10 or the terms of the Escrow Agreement that have not been satisfied in full. Any portion of the Escrow with respect to a pending Claim shall be released upon final determination of such Claim to the extent that the amounts remaining in such Escrow exceed the aggregate amount of other Claims pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), Article 10 or the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

          (c) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price is being deemed delivered by the Buyer to the Seller on or promptly after the Closing Date less the Cash Escrow, the Capitalization Escrow and the Stock Escrow, and the Buyer is directly transferring the Cash Escrow, the Capitalization Escrow and the Stock Escrow to the Escrow Agent and not to the Seller.

     2.4 Calculation and Payment of Final Purchase Price.

          (a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller its final determination of the Purchase Price, including the Buyer’s calculation of Capitalization Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Final Statement”), and including such schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such calculations. Buyer shall provide the Seller with reasonable access to the Records and the employees and accountants of Company (during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice) to review the Final Statement, and the Seller shall be entitled to review any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Final Statement prepared by or on behalf of Buyer; provided, however that neither the Company nor the Buyer shall have the obligation to require its independent accountants to provide access to their respective working papers.

          (b) If the Seller objects to Buyer’s data or calculations in the Final Statement, the Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing of such objection(s) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Statement from Buyer (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify which item(s) of the Final Statement is (are) being disputed and describe in reasonable detail the basis for such disputes.

          (c) If the Seller delivers an Objection Notice with respect to the Final Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(b), then the Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve such disputed items.

          (d) In the event Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve the disputed items within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Objection Notice, either Buyer or the Seller may demand that such disputed items be referred to an independent accounting firm as is mutually acceptable to each of Buyer and the Seller to finally resolve such disputed items. The independent accounting firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the disputed items, and the determination of each disputed item shall be within the range established by the Final Statement and the Objection Notice. The determination of such independent accounting firm shall be made as promptly as possible and shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party hereto shall be permitted to submit such data and information to such independent accounting firm as the parties deem appropriate. Buyer and the Seller, on behalf of the Seller, shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.4(d). All expenses and fees incurred in connection with the independent accounting firm shall be paid equally by Buyer on one hand and the Seller, on the other hand.

          (e) The Capitalization Amount as determined in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall be used to determine the final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.1 (the “Final Purchase Price”). Once the Final Purchase Price is determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and this Section 2.4, the following shall occur:

               (i) if the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, the Buyer shall pay the amount of such excess in cash to the Seller within three (3) days following delivery of such notice; or

               (ii) if the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, the Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute such excess from the Capitalization Escrow within three (3) days following delivery of such notice in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If there are amounts left in the Capitalization Escrow after the payment contemplated herein, then the Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the remainder of such Capitalization Escrow to Seller as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

     2.5 Withholding. Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as any of Buyer, the Escrow Agent or the Company reasonably determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

     2.6 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip for fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock will be issued, no Buyer stock split or dividend will be paid in respect of any fractional share interest, and no such fractional share interest will entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of or as a stockholder of Buyer. In lieu of fractional shares, the Seller that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock to be received by the Seller) will be paid the cash value of such fraction, which will be equal to such fraction multiplied by the Ten Day Trading Average Price.

     2.7 Outstanding Awards. The Company shall take all actions necessary and advisable to (i) pay the cash settlement value at or promptly after the Closing and cancel all outstanding Phantom Stock Awards (“Phantom Stock Awards”) granted (and amended to address any 409A remediation) pursuant to the Award Program as of the Closing, (ii) pay the cash settlement value at or promptly after the Closing and cancel all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights Awards (“SAR”) granted (and amended to address any 409A remediation) pursuant to the Award Program as of the Closing and (iii) terminate the Global Energy Partners, Inc. Executive Incentive Award Program (the “Award Program”), any agreements related to the Award Program and any other plan or program pursuant to which any phantom stock award and/or stock appreciation right of the Company has been or may be granted. In connection with any payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall withhold all applicable Taxes

     2.8 Procedure for Payment. At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to Seller by wire transfer the Cash Purchase Price (adjusted as contemplated above) less the Cash Escrow and the Capitalization Escrow and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer the Cash Escrow and the Capitalization Escrow. Promptly after the Closing, the Buyer shall cause its transfer agent to deliver to Seller a stock certificate representing the number of shares equal to the Stock Purchase Price (adjusted as contemplated above) less the Stock Escrow as set forth on the Estimated Statement and to the Escrow Agent a stock certificate representing the Stock Escrow. Each outstanding share of capital stock of the Company will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive such portion of the Purchase Price as set forth on the Estimated Statement.

          (c) by the Buyer, if there shall have been a breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of any other party contained in this Agreement (i) that causes (or would reasonably be expected to cause) any condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations as set forth in Section 3.2 not to be satisfied, and (ii) which breach or failure to perform is not capable of being cured or, if reasonably capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) twenty (20) days following notice of such breach and (B) the Termination Date;

     10.4 Procedure Relative to Indemnification.

          (a) In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified, defended or held harmless pursuant to the terms of this Article 10 (each, a “Claim”), such party (the “Claiming Party”) shall notify the Seller, if the Claiming Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, or the Buyer, if a Company Indemnified Party is the Claiming Party (in either case, the parties or parties to be notified are referred to as “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (a “Claim Notice”) of such Claim promptly after the Claiming Party receives notice of any action, Proceeding, demand or assessment or otherwise has received

notice or become aware of any claim that may reasonably be expected to result in a Claim by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party (provided that in the event of a delay in giving such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless it is materially prejudiced thereby). The Claim Notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, agreement or covenant or other basis for indemnification claimed by the Claiming Party and the Losses incurred by, or actually or potentially imposed upon, the Claiming Party on account thereof. If such Losses are liquidated in amount, the Claim Notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the Claim of the Claiming Party. If the amount is not liquidated, the Claim Notice shall so state and in such event a Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Claiming Party.

          (b) The following provisions shall apply to Claims of the Claiming Party which are based upon a claim by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”) (including any form of Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body), except as otherwise provided in Article 11 with respect to Tax Audits:

               (i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon receipt of the Claim Notice and at its expense, to defend such Third-Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party. The Claiming Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Claiming Party, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at the Claiming Party’s expense, to participate in the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Buyer determines in its reasonable judgment that (x) there is a probability that the amount of Loss claimed will be greater than the Escrow; (y) the Claims include claims seeking equitable or other non-monetary relief, or (z) there is a probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect its rights to conduct the Business after the Closing Date, then Buyer may, by written notice to the Seller, assume the exclusive right to control, defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim and the amount of such Loss, if any, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. In all such cases, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate, at Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the defense or settlement of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

               (ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Third-Party Claim, and as a condition thereto, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim and shall thereby waive its right to dispute the merits of the Third-Party Claim or to otherwise dispute that the Third-Party Claim is the subject of indemnification hereunder.

               (iii) In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party does not wish to defend the Third-Party Claim (or otherwise under the circumstances described in either of the penultimate sentence of Section 10.4(b)(i)), the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third-Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim if it acts reasonably and in

good faith upon ten (10) days’ notice to, but without having to first obtain the consent of, the Indemnifying Party.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the amount of such Claim shall be deemed, conclusively, a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the Claiming Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such thirty (30)-day period there remains a dispute as to any such Claim, then the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for a period not to exceed thirty (30) additional days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim. If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Buyer and the Seller. If the parties do not agree within such additional thirty (30)-day period, then the Claiming Party may pursue any and all other remedies available to it hereunder.

          (d) Once the amount of any Claim under this Article 10 is liquidated and the Claim is finally determined, the Claiming Party shall be entitled to pursue each and every remedy available to it at law or in equity to enforce the indemnification provisions of this Article 10 and, in the event it is determined, or the Indemnifying Party agrees, that it is obligated to indemnify the Claiming Party for such Claim, the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees which may be incurred by the Claiming Party in attempting to enforce indemnification under this Article 10, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise which the Indemnifying Party and the Claiming Party agree are due to the Claiming Party or which a court, arbitrator or other judicial body determines are due to the Claiming Party.

     10.5 Limits on Indemnification.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses from any Claim or Claims under Section 10.2(a)(i)or Section 10.3(a)(i), until the aggregate Losses from all Claims exceed $50,000 (the “Basket Amount”) with respect to each party; provided, however, that the Basket Amount shall not apply to any Claim relating to (i) any breach of the following: Section 4.1 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), Section 4.7 (Capitalization), Section 4.13 (Intellectual Property), Section 4.15 (Taxes), Section 4.19 (Employee Benefits; ERISA), and Section 4.29 (Propriety of Past Payments, (ii) any indemnification Claim under Article 11, or (iii) any failure to pay amounts payable pursuant to Article 2. The parties agree that the Basket Amount is to serve as a deductible. None of the limitations set forth in this Article 10 shall apply in the case of indemnification for Pre-Closing Taxes or any Losses or other indemnification matter based upon, arising out of, or relating to fraud, criminal activities or willful misconduct.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 10.5(a) and Section 13.3, neither the Seller nor the Company shall be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold

harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses from any Claim or Claims under Section 10.2 in excess of the Escrow.

          (c) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10 shall be (i) net of any amounts actually recovered by the Claiming Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses and (ii) net of any amounts actually recovered from any third person (by contribution, indemnification or otherwise) with respect to such Losses. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that, in appropriate circumstances, a Tax benefit recognized by Buyer shall be taken into account for the purposes of determining the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article 10. If an income Tax benefit is to be computed, Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing a good faith estimate of the applicable variables and shall not be required to provide the Seller or any other person with access to Buyer’s books and records or Tax returns or the working papers of its accountant(s) for the purposes of verifying such estimates; provided, however, that Buyer shall provide such pro forma calculations in sufficient detail that Buyer’s estimates can be reasonably verified.

     10.6 Certain Indemnification Matters.

          (a) The Seller shall have no right to seek contribution from the Company with respect to all or any part of any of the Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article 10.

          (b) In connection with any exercise by the Buyer of its indemnification rights under this Article 10, the Buyer shall be entitled to make all Claims through and deal exclusively with the Seller.

          (c) For the purpose of determining the amount of the Losses resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of a representation, warranty, or covenant of the Company or the Seller (but not for the purpose of determining the existence of such breach or inaccuracy), any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty giving rise to the claim of indemnity hereunder shall in each case be disregarded and without effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

          (d) The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy provided by this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation providing the basis for any indemnification obligation owed to, reimbursement obligation owed to or any other remedy of any Buyer Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller shall not be liable under this Article 10 with respect to any Losses arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties under this Agreement known by the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement and not communicated to Seller; provided that the Seller shall have the burden of proof concerning whether the Buyer had such knowledge.

          (e) Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 10.5(a) and Section 13.3, the Escrow shall be the sole source to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the Company and the Seller under this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

     11.1 Tax Returns. The Buyer shall cause the Company to timely file all Returns of the Company due on or after the Closing Date. Except as required by law, such Returns shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with the existing procedures for preparing such Returns and in a manner consistent with prior practices, elections and accounting methods of the Company for the treatment of specific items on a Return. Within thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver to the Seller a copy of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (or a portion of the workpapers related to a Return showing calculations related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period) prepared by Buyer for the Seller’s review and comment. If the Seller believes that any Return should be prepared differently, the Seller may so inform the Buyer. If the Buyer agrees, it will revise such Return. If the Buyer disagrees, and the parties cannot resolve their differences, then the parties shall engage a nationally recognized accounting firm to make a final determination of whether or not the Return should be prepared differently. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Parties. With the consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Seller may at the Seller’s expense prepare amendments to income tax Returns filed prior to the Closing for the purposes of seeking refunds for income Taxes previously paid by the Seller, and any such amended Return shall constitute a Pre-Closing Tax Return subject to the provisions of this Section 11.1.

Buyer shall cause the Company to pay to the Seller any and all refunds of Taxes (including interest thereon) received after the Closing Date with respect to, or attributable to, periods ending on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such refund (x) has been taken into account for purposes of calculating the Company’s Capitalization Amount, or (y) arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a period beginning after the Closing Date, or (z) relates to a Tax payment made by the Company or Buyer post-Closing, whether as a result of an assessment, audit or otherwise. Promptly after (and in any event within ten (10) days following) any receipt of such a refund by the Company, Buyer, or an Affiliate, Buyer shall cause such refund to be remitted to the Seller. Such payment to the Seller of any and all refunds pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price

     11.3 Tax Audits.

          (a) Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing within 15 days after receipt by Buyer or the Company of notice of the commencement of any official inquiry, examination, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding regarding any Return or Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Tax Audit”); provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve Seller of its obligations pursuant to Article 10 or this Article 11, except to the extent Seller is materially prejudiced thereby. The Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within 15 days after receipt by the Seller or the Seller of notice of the commencement of any Tax Audit regarding any Return or Taxes of the Company.

          (b) Buyer shall have the right to control the handling, disposition and/or settlement of any Tax Audit; provided, that Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed as to the status of and material developments in such Tax Audit and provide to the Seller copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Audit received from or submitted to any Tax Authority. The Seller shall promptly pay or reimburse Buyer for the amount, if any, paid to any Tax Authority pursuant to such Tax Audit and for any costs or expenses incurred by Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary of Buyer or the Company in connection with the conduct, defense or settlement of such Tax Audit.

     11.4 Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, property transfer, excise, sales, use, documentary, stamp, Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such taxes) in each case including any such Taxes or fees levied upon the transfer of stock or other equity interests in an entity on account of such entity’s direct or indirect ownership of property (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. Buyer shall prepare and file, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

     11.5 Tax Cooperation. From and after the Closing Date, each of Buyer, the Seller and the Seller shall cooperate, as reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation of any Returns of the Company and in connection with any Tax Audits with respect to Taxes or Returns. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request, at the requesting parties cost and expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Audit. Buyer and the Seller shall, upon request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

     11.6 Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements (including without limitation any obligation to make tax distributions) with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, no such Person shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. For the purposes of this Section 11.6, the following agreements shall be disregarded: (i) commercially reasonable agreements providing for the allocation or payment of real property Taxes attributable to real property leased or occupied by the Company and (ii) commercially reasonable agreements for the allocation or payment of personal property Taxes, sales or use Taxes or value added Taxes with respect to personal property leased, used, owned or sold in the ordinary course of business.

     11.7 § 338(h)(10) Election. The Company and Seller shall join with the Buyer in making § 338(h)(10) Election(s) (i.e., elections under § 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding election under state, local and foreign tax law) with respect to the purchase of the Common Shares hereunder. The Buyer will notify the Seller of its intent to make such election at any time prior to the last date for filing such election as required by applicable law. The parties agree that upon the making of a § 338(h)(10) Election, the Purchase Price, the liabilities of the Company, and any other relevant items shall be allocated for income Tax purposes among the assets of the Company in accordance with an allocation schedule prepared by the Buyer in

accordance with §338 and § 1060 of the Code (as adjusted by the Buyer for any subsequent payments pursuant to this Agreement), and Buyer and the Seller shall report consistently with such allocation for all Tax purposes. The Seller shall timely execute and file, or deliver to Buyer for filing (as requested by Buyer), all documents and forms Buyer may request in connection with the § 338(h)(10) Election, including without limitation IRS Forms 8023 and 8594. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to pay or indemnify Buyer with respect to any Tax imposed on the Company arising from or attributable to the § 338(h)(10) Election.

     11.8 Section 409A. Buyer agrees that any and all reports or other filings made by it or its Affiliates and any and all reports or other filings made by the Company or any of its Affiliates after the Closing concerning the Award Program, awards made thereunder and payments made with respect to such awards shall be consistent with the understanding of the parties that the portions of the awards granted by the Company under the Award Program that had not vested as of the date of this Agreement and all payments made with respect thereto were and will be fully compliant with Section 409A of the Code to the extent amended as provided in Exhibit J-A and J-B hereto.

This Agreement, the Schedules and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, correspondence, discussions and understandings of the parties (whether oral or written) are merged herein and made a part hereof, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the instruments and agreements contemplated hereby shall serve as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement with respect to the Transactions. No amendment, waiver or modification hereto or hereunder shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Buyer and the Seller; provided, however, that any amendment, waiver or modification to Article 13 that significantly and adversely affects an Executive Participant in a manner that is different than the other Executive Participants shall require the written consent of such Executive Participant.

     15.4 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption of burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     15.5 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any party without the prior written consent of both the Buyer and the Seller prior to Closing, and the Buyer and the Seller after Closing.

     1.1 Binding Effect; Specific Performance. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The Seller agrees that Buyer would suffer irreparable harm if the transactions contemplated herein were not consummated due to a breach of this Agreement by Seller and therefore Seller agrees that:

     (a) in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Seller of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and

     (b) the Buyer shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or proceeding.

     15.6 Paragraph Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience and ease of reference only and shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any part of this Agreement.

     15.7 Severability. The parties agree that if any provision of this Agreement shall under any circumstances be deemed invalid or inoperative, this Agreement shall be construed with the invalid or inoperative provision deleted, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

     15.8 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles and conflicts of law. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE FOR ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS (AND AGREE NOT TO COMMENCE ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING RELATING THERETO EXCEPT IN SUCH COURTS). THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE ON ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

     15.9 Use of Terms. In this Agreement (a) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import may refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a specific section, paragraph, or clause in which the respective word appears, (b) words importing gender include the other genders as appropriate, (c) any terms defined in this Agreement may, unless the context otherwise requires, be used in the singular or the plural

depending on the reference, (d) unless otherwise stated, references to any Section, Article, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section or Article of, or Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement and (e) the word “including” shall mean including without limitation. For purposes of the representations and warranties and covenants of the Company in the Transaction Documents (and the related defined terms and Schedules), the term “Company” shall be deemed to also refer to any Company Subsidiary.

     15.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered but one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. A facsimile signature of this Agreement shall be as effective as an original.

     15.11 Good Faith; Consents. Each of the parties agrees to act in good faith in connection with any matters arising under or relating to the Transaction Documents and the Transactions.

     15.12 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, a Claiming Party or their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assign, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
