Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 17, 2014, TriMas Company LLC (“TriMas LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TriMas Corporation (“TriMas Corp.”), consummated the borrowing of $275 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Tranche A Term Loans”) under the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2013, among TriMas Corp., TriMas LLC, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers party thereto, the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as Foreign Currency Agent, and the other agents party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Incremental Tranche A Term Loans will bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.875% (subject to step-ups up to LIBOR plus 2.125% or step-downs down to LIBOR plus 1.375%, based on the leverage ratio). The Incremental Tranche A Term Loans amortize in quarterly installments of approximately $3.6 million beginning in March 2015 through December 2016, and in quarterly installments of approximately $5.4 million from March 2017 through September 2018, with a final payment of the remaining term loan balance due on October 16, 2018.

The existing obligations and Incremental Tranche A Term Loans of TriMas LLC under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by TriMas Corp. and certain of TriMas LLC’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all of the assets of TriMas Corp., TriMas LLC and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and first priority perfected security interests in 100% of the equity interests of TriMas LLC and certain of TriMas LLC’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of TriMas LLC’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ foreign subsidiaries and (b) perfected first priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of TriMas Corp., TriMas LLC and the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. Amendments to the Credit Agreement were made in connection with the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans and primarily increased TriMas Corp.’s ability to make restricted payments subject to achieving certain leverage levels and other administrative requirements. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that TriMas Corp. and TriMas LLC believe are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on capital expenditures, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires TriMas Corp. and TriMas LLC to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. Upon the occurrence of customary events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a change of control and insolvency/bankruptcy events, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of a majority of the lenders, shall, accelerate repayment of the loans and cancel all of the commitments outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to (i) pay in part the purchase price for the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Allfast Fastening Systems, Inc. (“Allfast”) described under Item 2.01 below, (ii) finance the refinancing or repayment (the “Refinancing”) of certain existing Indebtedness of Allfast and its subsidiaries and (iii) pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition, the Refinancing and the incurrence of the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which has been filed as part of Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 19, 2014, TriMas Corp. and its subsidiary, TriMas UK Aerospace Holdings Limited (the “Buyer”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Allfast and the sole stockholder of Allfast pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity of Allfast for $357 million in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis and subject to working capital and tax adjustments. On October 17, 2014, the Buyer consummated the acquisition of Allfast pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Allfast is a manufacturer of solid and blind rivets, blind bolts, temporary fasteners and installation tools for the aerospace industry and is headquartered in Southern California.

(e) On the next regularly scheduled payroll payment date after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay each Retention Bonus Recipient one-half (¹⁄₂) of the amounts owed to such Retention Bonus Recipient as indicated on the Closing Bonus Schedule in accordance with the terms of the applicable Retention Bonus Agreement.

Such time and date are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” With respect to the Closing Date contemplated by clause (a) of this Section 1.3, and without limiting the applicability of clause (b) of this Section 1.3, Purchaser shall have the option, for the sole purpose of arranging the Debt Financing, to postpone such Closing Date to a Business Day that is within the thirty (30) day period following the date specified in such clause (a), by delivering notice to the Seller; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that receipt of financing, including the Debt Financing, is not a condition to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate (the “Working Capital Estimate”) of the Net Working

-4-

Capital as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date without giving effect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and determined in accordance with GAAP, together with related supporting schedules, calculations and documentation and any resulting Working Capital Overage or Working Capital Deficiency. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall review the Working Capital Estimate and mutually agree in good faith with Seller on such Working Capital Estimate, except that if Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on the Working Capital Estimate by the Closing Date, then the Working Capital Estimate of Seller shall be used for purposes of Section 1.2, subject to final resolution pursuant to Section 1.6. A “Working Capital Overage” shall exist when (and shall be equal to the amount by which) the Working Capital Estimate exceeds the Target Working Capital, which amount shall be added to the Purchase Price as contemplated in the definition thereof contained in Section 1.2. A “Working Capital Deficiency” shall exist when (and shall be equal to the amount by which) the Target Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Estimate, which amount shall be subtracted from the Purchase Price as contemplated in the definition thereof contained in Section 1.2.

1.6 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Working Capital Statement. As soon as practicable but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Working Capital Statement”) of the Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date without giving effect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and determined in accordance with GAAP (the “Final Working Capital”), together with related supporting schedules, calculations and documentation.

(b) Dispute. Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Seller of the Working Capital Statement, Seller shall either inform Purchaser in writing that the Working Capital Statement is acceptable, or deliver written notice (the “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser of any dispute Seller has with respect to the preparation or content of the Working Capital Statement or the Final Working Capital reflected therein. The Notice of Disagreement must describe in reasonable detail the items contained in the Working Capital Statement that Seller disputes and the basis for any such disputes. If Seller does not notify Purchaser of a dispute with respect to the Working Capital Statement within such 30-day period, such Working Capital Statement and the Final Working Capital reflected in the Working Capital Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. In the event a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Purchaser and Seller, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after Seller delivers the Notice of Disagreement, then Purchaser and Seller jointly shall engage the Arbitration Firm to resolve such dispute in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 1.6(b). Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitration Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Arbitration Firm within thirty (30) days of the making of such submission. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbitration Firm shall be limited to whether the items in dispute that were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement were prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Arbitration Firm shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent, the Working Capital Statement and the Final Working Capital, as applicable, reflected therein require adjustment. The Arbitration Firm is not to make any other determination, including any

-5-

determination as to whether the Target Working Capital or the Working Capital Estimate is correct. The Arbitration Firm’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions by Seller and Purchaser and their respective representatives and not by independent review. The Arbitration Firm shall address only those items in dispute and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Arbitration Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. Purchaser and Seller shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Arbitration Firm. All determinations made by the Arbitration Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties.

(c) Access. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 1.6, each party shall cooperate with and make available to the other parties and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Working Capital Statement or the Final Working Capital reflected therein and the resolution of any disputes in connection therewith.

(d) Downward Adjustment. If Final Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6) is less than the Working Capital Estimate, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of such shortfall (the “Downward Adjustment Amount”), and Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Downward Adjustment Amount within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6.

(e) Upward Adjustment. If Final Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6) is greater than the Working Capital Estimate, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward by the amount of such excess (the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), and Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Upward Adjustment Amount within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6.

(f) No Adjustment. If the Final Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6) is equal to the Working Capital Estimate, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.6.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing. Each of the parties hereto will make or cause to be made all filings and submissions under Applicable Laws as may be required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto will coordinate and cooperate with each other in exchanging such information and assistance as any of the parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

5.5 Public Announcements. The parties hereto shall not issue any report, statement or press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without prior consultation with and approval of the other parties, except as may be required by Applicable Law or Nasdaq listing requirements, in which case such party shall advise the other parties and discuss the contents of the disclosure before issuing any such report, statement or press release.

5.6 Filings and Authorizations; Consummation. Purchaser and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, submit all filings required by the HSR Act (the “HSR Filing”) to the United States Department of Justice and/or the Federal Trade Commission, as appropriate, and thereafter provide any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act and make any similar filing within, to the extent reasonably practicable, a similar time frame with any other Governmental Authority for which such filing is required. Purchaser shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act or any other antitrust law or regulation. Any such notification and report form and supplemental information will be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or other applicable antitrust law or regulation.

-29-

Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, in each case, with the prior consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to take all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every applicable impediment under any antitrust law or regulation that is asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur expeditiously. Such steps may include, but are not limited to, proposing, negotiating, committing to and/or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divesture or disposition of, or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), such of its or the Company’s assets, properties or businesses as necessary to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any Order which would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby provided that Purchaser is not obligated to take any action contemplated by this sentence unless such action is expressly a condition to Closing. Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend through litigation any claim that the transaction as proposed violates any antitrust or competition statute, rule or regulation; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not undertake, or continue to undertake, any such litigation if it would materially delay the Closing.

5.7 Certain Actions. Purchaser shall not knowingly take any affirmative action that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8 Notice of Events.

(a) During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company in writing if Purchaser becomes aware of (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact or condition that would cause or constitute a breach of any of its representations or warranties had any such representation or warranty been made as of the time of Purchaser’s discovery of such event, fact or condition and (ii) any material failure on its part to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder.

(b) During the period prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing if the Company or Seller becomes aware of (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact or condition that would cause or constitute a breach of any of the Company’s or Seller’s representations or warranties contained herein had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of the discovery of such event, fact or condition and (ii) any material failure on the part of the Company or Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. Should any such event, fact or condition require any change to the Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule specifying such change, except that Seller shall not be entitled to supplement the Disclosure Schedule with respect to the Seller Extended Representations or the Company Extended Representations (other than the representations and warranties in Sections 3.12 and 3.13).

-30-

(c) In the event that Seller delivers one or more supplements to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 5.8(b), and:

(i) the disclosures contained in such supplements to the Disclosure Schedule are not reasonably expected to cause losses (individually or in the aggregate) equal to or greater than $1,000,000, the Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the closing conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall not have been adversely affected by such disclosures, and Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such supplemented Disclosure Schedule, the delivery of any such supplement will be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty and, from and after the Closing Date, no Purchaser Indemnitee will have any claim for indemnification based on the disclosure contained in such supplemented Disclosure Schedule; or

(ii) the disclosures contained in such supplements to the Disclosure Schedule are reasonably expected to cause losses (individually or in the aggregate) equal to or greater than $1,000,000, the Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that Purchaser may, at its discretion:

(A) decide to proceed with the Closing, and Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such supplemented Disclosure Schedule, the delivery of any such supplement will be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty and, from and after the Closing Date, no Purchaser Indemnitee will have any claim for indemnification based on the disclosure contained in such supplemented Disclosure Schedule; or

(B) decide to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that if Purchaser decides to terminate this Agreement, Seller may agree to indemnify Purchaser for any and all Damages relating to the disclosure contained in such supplemented Disclosure Schedule, and upon Seller’s written agreement to so indemnify Purchaser, in form and substances reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, Purchaser shall be deemed to have cancelled its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section.

(d) In no event shall any supplement to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.8 contain any matter that existed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

5.9 Exculpation.

(a) Subject to Section 7.10, the Company shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to, exculpate (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law) and indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and also advance expenses as incurred, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, to each Person who is now or has been prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing an officer or director of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (a “Covered Person”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), settlement payments or liabilities arising out of or in connection with any Proceeding based on or arising out of the fact that such Person is or was an officer or director of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, whether or not such Proceeding is asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing; provided, however, that the Person to whom such expenses are advanced provides a customary unsecured undertaking to the

-31-

Company to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification; provided, further, however, that such indemnification, defense, hold harmless and expense advancement requirement shall not apply to any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, settlement payments or liabilities of any Covered Person arising as a result of such Covered Person’s breaching or failing to perform such Covered Person’s obligations under this Agreement or under any other agreements contemplated hereby to which such Covered Person is a party.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate to purchase and bind officers’ and directors’ liability tail insurance in the amount of $2 million covering, for a period of six (6) years, the Persons who are, as of and prior to the Closing Date, covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies with respect to actions and omissions occurring prior to and on the Closing Date, on terms which are no less favorable to such Persons than the terms of such current insurance in effect for the Company prior to the Closing. From and after the Closing, the Company shall maintain such policy in full force and effect for the duration of its term.

(b) If (but only if) for any reason the indemnity provided for in this Section 5.9 is unavailable to any such Person entitled to indemnification or is insufficient to hold each such Person harmless from all such Damages, then Purchaser and the Company shall jointly and severally contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Person on the other, but also the relative fault of such Persons as well as any relevant equitable considerations.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Persons listed on Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule together with their respective heirs.

To the extent that a Purchaser Prepared Return relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods, and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 5.10(a)(iv), unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

If the Arbitration Firm is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Arbitration Firm. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all Indemnified Taxes shown as due on any Purchaser Prepared Return attributable to (A) any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (B) the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.

(iii) Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall not, and shall not allow the Company or the Subsidiaries to amend any Tax Return of the Prior Company, the Company or the Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or otherwise initiate (or agree to) any other Seller Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(iv) With respect to certain Tax matters, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

(A) To treat deductions with respect to the Seller Expenses that accrued on or prior to the Closing Date as being currently deductible by the Company as a deduction for income Tax purposes on the Company’s IRS Form 1120S for the year ending as of the day before the Closing Date.

-33-

(B) To treat (and have the Company and each Subsidiary treat) any gains, income, deductions, losses, or other items realized by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries for income Tax purposes with respect to any Purchaser Closing Date Transaction as occurring on the day immediately following the Closing Date.

(C) To treat all indemnification payments under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all relevant Tax purposes.

(D) To timely and properly make a safe harbor election under Rev. Proc. 2011-29 to currently deduct seventy percent (70%) of the Seller Expenses that are success-based fees.

(E) To treat Steps 1 through 3 of the Conversion Transactions set forth on Schedule C as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code such that Seller succeeds to the “S election” of the Company and that the Seller shall file a Tax Return for the year including the Closing Date that includes the income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Company through the end of the Closing Date.

(F) To treat all income tax deductions with respect to payments pursuant to the Retention Bonus Agreements made on or prior to the fifteenth (15^th) day of the second month following the Closing Date as deductible by the Seller on its tax return for the year including the Closing Date.

(b) Straddle Period Tax Returns. To the extent permissible under Applicable Laws, the parties agree to elect (and have the Company and the Subsidiaries elect) to have each Tax year of the Company and the Subsidiaries to end on the Closing Date and, if such election is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction with respect to a specific Tax such that the Company or any Subsidiary is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, such as Taxes other than sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on and

-34-

including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause (ii), (A) any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; (B) the parties shall use the conventions provided for in Section 5.10(a)(iv)(A) with respect to allocating the Seller Expenses; and (C) the parties shall use the conventions provided for in Section 5.10(a)(iv)(B) for purposes of allocating the items of income and gain from Purchaser Closing Date Transactions. In the case of a Tax that is (i) paid for the privilege of doing business during a period (a “Privilege Period”) and (ii) computed based on business activity occurring during an accounting period ending prior to such Privilege Period, any reference to a “Tax period,” a “tax period,” or a “taxable period” shall mean such accounting period and not such Privilege Period.

(c) Cooperation. Purchaser, the Company, and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Seller, the Prior Company, Company or the Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (ii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Seller, the Prior Company, Company or the Subsidiaries (including copies of Tax Returns and related work papers) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (iii) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax; and (iv) cause to be properly executed and timely filed any Seller Prepared Returns as prepared pursuant to Section 5.10(a) that need to be filed after the Closing Date.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, excise, sales, use, value added, registration, stamp, recording, property and analogous Taxes or fees applicable to, imposed upon, or arising out of the transfer of the shares in the Company or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid one-half (¹⁄₂) by Purchaser and one-half (¹⁄₂) by Seller.

(e) Tax Refunds. Except to the extent (i) attributable to any Tax attribute generated after the Closing or (ii) included as a current asset in the Net Working Capital, as finally determined, all refunds of Taxes of the Seller, the Prior Company, Company or any of the Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 5.10(b)) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit against Taxes otherwise payable) shall be the property of Seller. To the extent that Purchaser, the Company, or any of the Subsidiaries receives a refund that is the property of Seller, Purchaser shall pay to Seller for distribution to Seller the amount of such refund (and interest received from the Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) net of any reasonable costs or Taxes attributable to obtaining such refund. The amount due to Seller shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of

-35-

the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of direct credit, ten (10) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to take all actions necessary, or reasonably requested by Seller, to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 5.10(e).

(f) Tax Gross-Up.

(i) Within sixty (60) days of determination of the Net Working Capital, as finally determined, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (plus the applicable liabilities of the Company) among the assets of the Company (other than interests in its Subsidiaries that are disregarded) and its Subsidiaries that are disregarded (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”). The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule will be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the methodologies for determining fair market value as set forth on Section 5.10(f) of the Disclosure Schedule. If within the thirty (30) days of receiving the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Seller has not objected, the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding. If within thirty (30) days Seller objects to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences, provided that if after thirty (30) days, Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree, the parties shall retain the Arbitration Firm to resolve their dispute, provided that the Arbitration Firm utilize the methodologies for determining fair market sale as set forth on Section 5.10(f) of the Disclosure Schedule. The determination of the Arbitration Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. Purchaser and Seller shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as finally determined, to reflect changes in the Purchase Price (or other relevant amounts).

(ii) Purchaser and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (and cause the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and persons that are treated as owning the Shares of the Company for income Tax purposes to file all Tax Returns) consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as finally determined), and shall not take a position (or allow the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any other Affiliate to take a position) during the course of any audit or other legal proceedings that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule unless required by Applicable Law.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Seller shall provide to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s review and comment, a schedule setting forth the computation of the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount, including sufficient supporting information to allow Purchaser to confirm such calculation. The calculations delivered by Seller shall be final and binding on the parties unless Purchaser objects in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by delivering to Seller a detailed statement describing the basis for each objection along with Purchaser’s calculations of the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount. If Seller does not agree with Purchaser’s calculations, then Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Purchaser’s calculations, notify Purchaser of Seller’s disagreement. If Seller does not object within fifteen (15) days to the calculations, Purchaser’s calculations of the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount shall be final and binding on the parties. If Seller timely disputes Purchaser’s calculations, the parties shall use reasonable

-36-

efforts to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days following Seller’s notice to Purchaser that it disagrees with Purchaser’s calculations of Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount, then the parties shall retain the Arbitration Firm to resolve their dispute in accordance with Section 1.6(b) hereof. The determination of the Arbitration Firm shall be final and binding on the parties.

(iv) If the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount are finalized pursuant to Section 5.10(f)(vi) prior to March 15, 2015, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount within (10) ten days of such finalization.

(v) If the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount are not finalized pursuant to Section 5.10(f)(vi) prior to March 15, 2015, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Additional Purchase Price Amount (the “Estimated Additional Purchase Price Amount”). Within five (5) days of receiving the Estimated Additional Purchase Price Amount, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of the Estimated Additional Purchase Price Amount. Within five (5) days of the finalization of the Additional Income Taxes and the Additional Purchase Price Amount, either (A) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Additional Purchase Price Amount exceeds the Estimated Additional Purchase Price Amount or (B) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which the Estimated Additional Purchase Price exceeds the Additional Purchase Price Amount. The Additional Purchase Price Amount shall constitute Purchase Price for purposes of this Agreement.

(vi) No election under Code Section 338(g) (or corresponding election under state, local, or non-U.S. law) shall be made with respect to any Subsidiary that is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

(g) Additional California Tax Amount.

(i) At least forty-five days (45) prior to due date of the California franchise taxes payable by the Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (but no earlier than the Closing Date), Seller shall provide to Purchaser a computation of the Additional California Tax Amount and such supporting information as is reasonably required to confirm such computation. If within twenty (20) days of receiving the Additional California Tax Amount, but not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date such tax is due, Purchaser has not objected, the Additional California Tax Amount shall be final and binding. If within twenty (20) days of receiving the Additional California Tax Amount, and not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date that such tax is due, Purchaser objects to the Additional California Tax Amount, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences, provided that if after ten (10) days, Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree, the parties shall retain the Arbitration Firm to resolve their dispute. The determination of the Arbitration Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. Purchaser and Seller shall make appropriate adjustments to the Additional California Tax Amount, as finally determined, to reflect changes in the Purchase Price (or other relevant amounts).

-37-

(ii) Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Additional California Tax Amount within five (5) days from the date on which the Additional California Tax Amount becomes final and binding on the parties.

(iii) For any payment of any amount to Seller that constitutes Purchase Price (a “Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Payment”), Purchaser shall also pay to Seller in addition to such Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Payment, 1.225% of the amount of such Post-Closing Purchase Price Payment. Payments under this Section 5.10(g) shall not constitute a Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Payment. Payments under this Section 5.10(g) shall not be adjusted to reflect any Tax benefit or additional Taxes with respect to the receipt of the payment hereunder.

(h) For purposes of this Section 5.10, Section 6.2(g) and Section 7.8, and the related definitions, unless otherwise provided, “Seller” means the New Corporation as defined on Section C of the Disclosure Schedule, “Company” means the New LLC as defined on Section C of the Disclosure Schedule, and “Prior Company” means the Company after the formation of the New Corporation and prior to its conversion to the New LLC as defined in Section C of the Disclosure Schedule.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights and claims (other than claims of fraud) for Damages it may have against any other party arising under, based upon or relating to this Agreement, Seller Agreement or Purchaser Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any Applicable Law, common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII), and such waiver shall include any such claims of Purchaser, Parent or Purchaser Indemnitee arising from the Puente Valley Operable Unit of the San Gabriel Valley Superfund Site as well as any such claims arising from hexavalent chromium groundwater contamination under, on or about the Real Property. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, or specific performance to compel performance hereunder.

7.5 Limitations on Reimbursement to and Indemnification of Purchaser Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees to reimbursement from the Escrow Amount and indemnification are limited as follows:

(a) Except with respect to Damages with respect to the breach of the Seller Extended Representations and the Company Extended Representations, the Purchaser Indemnitees will not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement from the Escrow Amount with respect to the matters described in Section 7.2(a)(i) for any Damages until the total of all such Damages suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees exceed $700,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnitees will be entitled to reimbursement from the Escrow Amount for all Damages in excess of the Basket. No claim for indemnification or reimbursement from the Escrow Amount may be made pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) for any individual item where the claim for Damages related thereto is less than $10,000, and if such claim does not exceed such

-51-

amount, the amount of such claim shall not be taken into account in determining whether or not or to the extent to which the Basket has been exceeded; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to claims brought with respect to the Seller Extended Representations or the Company Extended Representations.

(b) All claims for Damages made by any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall be satisfied by reimbursement solely out of the Escrow Amount, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and shall not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the Cap. All claims for Damages made by any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(ii) through 7.2(a)(vi), and 7.2(b) shall be satisfied by Seller subject to Article IX. In no event shall Seller be liable for Damages (either individually or in the aggregate) pursuant to this Article VII, including without limitation, any claims in respect of the Company Extended Representations and the Seller Extended Representations, in excess of the net Purchase Price that Seller actually receives in cash.

(c) The Purchaser Indemnitees’ right to reimbursement from the Escrow Amount or indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 on account of any Damages shall be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds received by the Purchaser Indemnitees. Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to claim and recover any Damages suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitees under any such insurance policies or other third party indemnities. If Purchaser and the Company fail to pursue recoveries under any “incurrence” based insurance policies or other third party indemnities, then Seller shall have the right of subrogation to pursue such insurance policies or other third party indemnities on its behalf and may take any reasonable actions necessary to pursue such rights of subrogation in its name or the name of the party from whom subrogation is obtained. Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with Seller to pursue any such subrogation claim.

(d) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Escrow Amount or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for lost profits, exemplary damages, special damages, consequential damages or punitive damages, except, in each case, with respect to Damages actually awarded to a third party in an action brought against a Purchaser Indemnitee.

(e) In addition to other limitations under this Section 7.5, Damages of any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any claim for a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of Section 3.13 or a breach of any covenant of Seller or the Company with respect to Taxes shall be limited to Tax Losses.

7.6 Limitations on Indemnification of Seller Indemnitees.

(a) Except with respect to Damages with respect to the breach of the Purchaser Extended Representations, the Seller Indemnitees will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(1) hereof for any Damages until the total of all such Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnitees exceeds the Basket, in which event the Seller Indemnitees will be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement for all Damages in excess of the Basket, and up to a maximum of the Escrow Amount. No claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(1) for any individual item where the claim for Damages related

-52-

thereto is less than $10,000, and if such claim does not exceed such amount, the amount of such claim shall not be taken into account in determining whether or not or to the extent to which the Basket has been exceeded.

(b) The Seller Indemnitees’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3 on account of any Damages shall be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds actually received by the Seller Indemnitees. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim and recover any Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnitees under any such insurance policies or other third party indemnities. If Seller fails to pursue recoveries under any “incurrence” based insurance policies or other third party indemnities, then Purchaser and the Company shall have the right of subrogation to pursue such insurance policies or other third party indemnities and may take any reasonable actions necessary to pursue such rights of subrogation in their name or the name of the party from whom subrogation is obtained. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and the Company to pursue any such subrogation claim.

(c) The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for lost profits, exemplary damages, special damages, consequential damages or punitive damages, except, in each case, with respect to Damages actually awarded to a third party in an action brought against Seller Indemnitees.

7.7 Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to all claims for indemnification and reimbursement pursuant to this Article VII, other than those relating to Tax matters, which are governed by Section 7.8:

(a) Notice of Damages Provided by Seller Indemnitees. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, if any Seller Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a claim for indemnification (a “Seller Indemnity Claim”), Seller shall, promptly after it becomes aware of such Seller Indemnity Claim but in any event prior to the applicable survival date under Section 7.1, notify Purchaser of such claim by means of a written notice specifying the nature, circumstances and amount of such claim accompanied by an affidavit of an authorized person of Seller setting forth with reasonable particularity the underlying facts actually known or in good faith believed by the affiant to exist sufficient to establish, as of the date of such affidavit, the basis for such claim and setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of the Damages incurred by the applicable Seller Indemnitee with respect thereto (a “Seller Claim Notice”). The failure by Seller to promptly deliver a Seller Claim Notice under this Section 7.7(a) will not adversely affect the applicable Seller Indemnitee’s right to indemnification except to the extent that Purchaser is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Notice of Damages Provided by Purchaser Indemnitees.

(i) Indemnification Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, if any Purchaser Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a claim for indemnification or reimbursement against the Escrow Amount (a “Purchaser Indemnity Claim”), Purchaser shall, promptly after it becomes aware of such Purchaser Indemnity Claim but in any event prior to the applicable survival date under Section 7.1, notify Seller (and, if such claim is or includes a claim for reimbursement against the Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent) of such Purchaser Indemnity Claim by means of a written notice specifying the nature, circumstances

-53-

and amount of such Purchaser Indemnity Claim accompanied by an affidavit of an officer of the Purchaser setting forth with reasonable particularity the underlying facts actually known or in good faith believed by the affiant to exist sufficient to establish, as of the date of such affidavit, the basis for the Purchaser Indemnity Claim and setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Damages incurred by the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee with respect thereto (a “Purchaser Claim Notice”). The failure by Purchaser to promptly deliver a Purchaser Claim Notice under this Section 7.7(b)(i) will not adversely affect the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or reimbursement from the Escrow Amount except to the extent that Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt of a Purchaser Claim Notice from Purchaser, Seller shall have thirty (30) days to (A) if and to the extent such Purchaser Claim Notice includes a claim for reimbursement against the Escrow Amount, send a joint written instruction, together with Purchaser, to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser from the Escrow Amount the amount of Damages so specified in the Purchaser Claim Notice subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII, (B) if and to the extent such Purchaser Claim Notice includes a claim for indemnification other than against the Escrow Amount, pay to Purchaser the amount of Damages so specified in the Purchaser Claim Notice subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII or (C) deliver to Purchaser (and, if such claim is or includes a claim for reimbursement against the Escrow Amount, to the Escrow Agent) notice in writing that Seller objects to the Purchaser Indemnity Claim (or the amount of Damages set forth therein) asserted in such Purchaser Claim Notice (a “Dispute Notice”).

(ii) Indemnification Claim Disputes. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent the Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to reimbursement on account of such Purchaser Indemnity Claim. If Purchaser and Seller are able to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives such Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Period”), as applicable, (A) Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent setting forth such agreement and instructing the Escrow Agent to release funds from the Escrow Amount subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII and/or (B) Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount in accordance with such agreement. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement within the Dispute Period, then the dispute may be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.15 by either Purchaser or Seller. For all purposes of any dispute pursuant to this Article VII, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and its representatives all information, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes.

(c) Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitees for which indemnification or reimbursement is or may be available under this Article VII (whether pursuant to a lawsuit, other legal action or otherwise, a “Third Party Claim”), and, if (A) in the event that the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnitee and the Purchaser Indemnitee makes a claim for Damages pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i), the then-available portion of the Escrow Amount is sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy at least two-thirds (2/3) of the amount of any adverse monetary judgment or settlement that is reasonably likely to result, (B) the Third Party Claim does not seek (and continues to not seek) injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief, except for injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief that (x) is ancillary

-54-

to a claim for monetary damages or (y) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party would not have a material and adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates if granted and (C) subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.7(c), the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement (the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the “Litigation Conditions”), then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall be obligated at its own cost and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and (ii) to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including, without limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent may be granted or withheld at the absolute and sole discretion of the Indemnified Party in the event the Third Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief, such as injunctive or other equitable relief; provided, however, that if (1) any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met or (2) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.7(c), the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim, provided that if the named Persons to a lawsuit or other legal action include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, to retain one firm of separate counsel of its own choosing (along with any required local counsel). If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.7(c) within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice delivered in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, and, if it so elects, to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim (but only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third Party Claim or otherwise, discovers that (X) the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party confirmed the application of the indemnification provisions hereof pursuant to subpart (C) of this Section 7.7(c) were not true and (Y) such untruth provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have any indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such confirmation.

7.8 Tax Contests.

(a) If any Governmental Authority issues to the Company or any Subsidiary (A) a notice of its intent to audit or conduct another legal proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Prior Company or the Company or the Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (B) a notice of deficiency for Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Authority within ten (10) days of receipt.

(b) The Company or applicable Subsidiary shall control any audit or other legal proceeding in respect of any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Prior Company, the Company or a Subsidiary, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any voluntary disclosure to, or voluntary discussions with, any Governmental Authority regarding any Tax or Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that have been consented to as provided for in Section 5.10(a)(iii) (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, (X) Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to control any Tax Contest (including the settlement or resolution thereof) but only if such Tax Contest relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Tax Contest of the Prior Company; (Y) Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; and (Z) Purchaser shall not, and shall not allow the Company or any Subsidiary, to settle, resolve, or abandon a Tax Contest (whether or not Seller controls or participates in such Tax Contest) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c) If Seller elects to control a Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (A) Seller shall notify Purchaser of such intent; (B) Purchaser shall promptly complete and execute, and promptly cause the Company, the Subsidiaries, or other Purchaser Indemnitee to complete and execute, any powers of attorney or other documents that are necessary (or that Seller requests) to allow Seller to control such Tax Contest; (C) prior to Seller taking control, Purchaser shall control, or cause the Company or applicable Subsidiary to control, such Tax Contest in good faith and after Seller takes control, Seller shall control such Tax Contest in good faith; and (D) while it controls a Tax Contest, Seller shall (1) keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (2) allow Purchaser, the Company, or the Subsidiaries, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to participate in such Tax Contest; and (3) not settle, resolve, or abandon any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(d) If Seller elects to participate in a Tax Contest, (A) Seller shall notify Purchaser of such intent; (B) Purchaser shall control, or cause the Company or any Subsidiary to control, the Tax Contest in good faith; and (C) Purchaser shall take all actions (and cause the Company or applicable Subsidiaries of the Company) required to ensure that Seller has the rights to participate in the Tax Contest.

-56-

(e) If Seller does not control or participate in a Tax Contest (whether by election or otherwise) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (A) Purchaser shall control, or cause the Company or applicable Subsidiary to control, such Tax Contest in good faith; and (B) Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest.

(f) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 7.8 are inconsistent with any provision of Section 7.7, the provisions of this Section 7.8 shall control.

7.9 Mitigation. Each party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Damages upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the others with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by using reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability and by forgoing any actions that would reasonably be expected to increase the Damages arising from any such claim or liability; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party.

7.10 No Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Beneficial Seller shall make any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, or pursuant to the constituent documents of the Company or the Subsidiaries, to defend or pay Damages obtained by any claim brought by any Purchaser Indemnitee against Seller or Beneficial Seller for breach of this Agreement, or any other Company Agreement or Seller Agreement.

7.11 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be construed as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

All such notices, requests, demands, waivers and communications shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date on which so hand-delivered, (ii) on the third Business Day following the date on which so mailed and (iii) on the date on which the facsimile or electronic mail is confirmed, except for a notice of change of address, which shall be effective only upon receipt thereof.

9.3 Exhibits and Schedules. Any exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or in any of the Exhibits attached hereto shall reasonably identify the exception and describe the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item may not be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the representation or warranty pertains to the existence of the document or other item itself. Any event or condition specifically disclosed in reasonable detail in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed or incorporated into any other section of the Disclosure Schedule with the same degree of specification where it is apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure would be appropriate and relevant to such other section of the Disclosure Schedule. The inclusion of any matter, information or item in any Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability by the Company or Seller to any third party or otherwise imply that any such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement.

9.4 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time by written agreement of the parties hereto. Any failure of Seller or the Company to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by Purchaser, and any failure of Purchaser to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by Seller at any time by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such other party, but such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits, schedules and other documents referred to herein (including, without limitation, the Confidentiality Agreement) which form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect to its subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement).

9.6 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

9.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns, but except as contemplated herein, neither this

-60-

Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without prior written consent to (A) any of its Affiliates or (B) any Financing Source (including for purposes of creating a security interest or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of any Debt Financing).

9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than (a) the Persons listed on Section 5.9 of the Disclosure Schedule (solely with respect to Section 5.9), (b) the Financing Sources (solely with respect to Sections 9.12, 9.13, 9.14 and 9.18) and (c) the Persons contemplated by Section 5.22, this Agreement is not intended and shall not be deemed to confer upon or give any Person not a party or a permitted assign of a party to this Agreement any rights, remedies or other benefits under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.9 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Article I, Section 5.6 and Section 5.10(d), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated pursuant hereto, each party hereto shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.11 Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include such other genders and any reference to the singular or plural shall include the other, in each case unless the context otherwise requires. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any party hereto irrespective of which party caused such provisions to be drafted. Each of the parties acknowledge that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.

9.12 Forum; Service of Process. Except for any dispute, claim or controversy that is submitted for arbitration pursuant to Section 9.15, any Proceeding brought by any party or any of its Affiliates arising out of or based upon this Agreement shall only be instituted in any federal or state court in New York County, New York, and each party waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 9.12.

9.13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of California. All actions, proceedings, or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) against the Financing Sources arising out of or relating to the Debt Financing (including the transactions contemplated thereby) and the

-61-

performance thereof by the Financing Sources shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitration provisions in Section 9.15 shall not apply to any dispute against any Financing Source. The Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 9.13.

9.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

WHEREAS, on [ ], 2014, Purchaser, Seller, Allfast Fastening Systems, Inc., a California corporation and, for purposes of certain specified sections thereof, TriMas Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and James H. Randall, entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), and terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which has not been furnished to Escrow Agent but which the Parties agree to furnish if notified by Escrow Agent that the Escrow Agent must reference definitions contained therein in order to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Section 1.4(c)(1) of the Purchase Agreement provides for the deposit with the Escrow Agent of immediately available funds in the amount of the Escrow Amount, to be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW

(a) At the Closing, Purchaser will deposit $7,140,000 with the Escrow Agent, (as may be adjusted by disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Escrow Funds”).

(b) The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to serve, as the escrow agent and depositary subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall receive the Escrow Funds and agrees to hold the Escrow Funds in a separate and distinct account (the “Escrow Account”) which is hereby established and which will be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent only in accordance with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

INVESTMENT OF ESCROW FUND

The Escrow Agent is hereby directed to invest the Escrow Fund, including earnings thereon, in the Bank of America Institutional Deposit Account (a money market deposit account) bearing internal identification number 999102031 (the “IDA”). It is understood that the IDA bears interest at a fixed rate of 3 basis points per annum. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the IDA is a deposit account held at Bank of America, N.A., (ii) additional information about the IDA is available upon request, (iii) funds deposited in the IDA shall be insured to the maximum extent permitted by law and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (iv) the IDA shall have a normal cutoff time of 4:00PM (Central Time) and (v) any cash received after that time shall not be invested until the next Business Day.

ARTICLE III

DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE ESCROW ACCOUNT

3.1 The Escrow Agent shall only disburse amounts held in the Escrow Account upon receipt of a joint written notice (“Disbursement Request”) from the Parties at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested disbursement date specifying (i) the amount to be disbursed, (ii) the date of disbursement, (iii) the recipient of the disbursement, and (iv) the manner of disbursement and delivery instructions. A form of Disbursement Request is attached hereto as Annex I. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Disbursement Request authorizes the disbursement of all of the then-remaining Escrow Funds, such Disbursement Request shall constitute a Termination Notice (as defined below) and shall be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. Further, the Escrow Agent is authorized to obtain confirmation of such Disbursement Request by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated for verifying such requests on Exhibit B (such person verifying the request shall be different than the person initiating the request). The Escrow Agent is authorized to disinvest the requisite amount of Escrow Funds one (1) Business Day prior to the requested disbursement date, or may do so earlier if the Escrow Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that disinvesting more than one (1) Business Day prior to the disbursement date is necessary in order to assure the availability of funds on the requested disbursement date.

3.2 From time to time following execution of this Agreement, Purchaser may deliver a Purchaser Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 7.7(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

If no Dispute Notice is received by the Escrow Agent within such 30-day period, then the dollar amount of the Purchaser Indemnity Claim in the Purchaser Claim Notice shall be deemed established for purposes of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and, at the end of such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Purchaser the dollar amount of the Purchaser Indemnity Claim in the Purchaser Claim Notice from (and only to the extent of) the Escrow Funds; provided that the Escrow Agent shall not pay such amount unless and until it shall have received a joint written instruction of the Parties to make such payment. If a Dispute Notice disputes only a portion of the amount of the Purchase Indemnity Claim in the applicable Purchaser Claim Notice, then, reasonably promptly after the delivery of such Dispute Notice, the Parties shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the dollar amount of the undisputed portion. The Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether a Purchaser Indemnity Claim complies with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement.

Any amount of the Escrow Funds retained by the Escrow Agent after the Partial Release Date shall be held subject to the terms of this Agreement. On the first Business Day following the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Release Date”) and upon receipt of written notice from Seller that such Release Date has occurred, the Escrow Agent shall pay to an account designated in writing by Seller the excess, if any, of (a) the then-remaining Escrow Funds over (b) the aggregate dollar amount of all unresolved Purchaser Indemnity Claims for which Purchaser Claim Notices have been provided to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3.2 prior to the Release Date. Any amount of the Escrow Funds retained by the Escrow Agent after the Release Date shall be held subject to the terms of this Agreement until all unresolved Purchaser Indemnity Claims have been resolved, at which point all remaining amounts held in the Escrow Account shall be paid to an account designated in a joint written instruction of the Parties or pursuant to a Final Order.

3.4 If the Escrow Funds are invested, any payment date will require an additional Business Day thereafter to disinvest in accordance with Section 3.1. Also in accordance with Section 3.1, all other instructions to disburse hereunder must specify items (i) – (iv) set forth in Section 3.1.

ARTICLE V

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 (a) The obligations and duties of the Escrow Agent are confined to those specifically set forth in this Agreement which obligations and duties shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. No additional obligations and duties of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred or implied from the terms of any other documents or agreements, notwithstanding references herein to other documents or agreements. In the event that any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement between any of the parties hereto conflict or are inconsistent with any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control the duties of the Escrow Agent in all respects. The Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, or be under any obligation to ascertain or construe the terms and conditions of any other instrument, or to interpret this Agreement in light of any other agreement whether or not now or hereafter deposited with or delivered to the Escrow Agent or referred to in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to inquire as to the form, execution, sufficiency, or validity of any such instrument nor to inquire as to the identity, authority, or rights of the person or persons executing or delivering same. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any other agreement, instrument, or document. The Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with a list of authorized representatives, initially authorized hereunder as set forth on Exhibit B; as such Exhibit B may be amended or supplemented from time to time by delivery of a revised and re-executed Exhibit B to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply with and rely upon any notices, instructions or other communications believed by it to have been sent or given by the Parties or by a person or persons authorized by the Parties. The Escrow Agent specifically allows for receiving direction by written or electronic transmission from an authorized representative in accordance with the terms hereof with the following caveat, the Parties on a joint and several basis agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Escrow Agent as a result of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s

- 4 -

reliance upon and compliance with instructions or directions given by written or electronic transmission transmitted to each by such respective party, provided, however, that such Losses have not arisen from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent, it being understood that forbearance on the part of the Escrow Agent to verify or confirm that the person giving the instructions or directions, is, in fact, an authorized person shall not be deemed to constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to satisfy any such indemnity obligation from the Escrow Funds or the Escrow Account, and shall not otherwise have any right of setoff against the Escrow Funds or the Escrow Account.

(b) In the event funds transfer instructions are given to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than with respect to fund transfers to be made contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement), regardless of the method used to transmit such instructions, such instructions must be given by an individual designated on Exhibit B. Further, the Escrow Agent is authorized to obtain and rely upon confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated for verifying such instructions on Exhibit B (such person verifying the instruction shall be different than the person initiating the instruction). The Escrow Agent may require any Party which is entitled to direct the delivery of fund transfers to designate a phone number or numbers for purposes of confirming the requested transfer. The Parties agree that the Escrow Agent may delay the initiation of any fund transfer until all security measures it deems to be necessary and appropriate have been completed and shall incur no liability for such delay.

5.2 The Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and policies and procedures of general applicability to escrow accounts established by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act that it may do or omit to do hereunder in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment or for any damages not directly resulting from its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, it is hereby agreed that in no event will the Escrow Agent be liable for any lost profits or other indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages which the Parties may incur or experience by reason of having entered into or relied on this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, notwithstanding that the Escrow Agent was advised or otherwise made aware of the possibility of such damages. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acts of God, acts of war, breakdowns or malfunctions of machines or computers, interruptions or malfunctions of communications or power supplies, labor difficulties, actions of public authorities, or any other similar cause or catastrophe beyond the Escrow Agent’s reasonable control. Any act done or omitted to be done by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the advice of its attorneys shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed or omitted in good faith by the Escrow Agent.

5.3 In the event the Escrow Agent is notified of any dispute, disagreement or legal action relating to or arising in connection with the escrow, the Escrow Funds, or the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The

- 5 -

Escrow Agent may hold all documents and funds and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings, arbitration, or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, it may require.

The Escrow Agent is authorized, at its option, to deposit with the court in which such action is filed, all documents and funds held in escrow. All costs, expenses, charges, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. The Parties are severally and not jointly liable for the payment of such amounts. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all subsequent obligations and liability otherwise imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

5.4 The Parties hereby agree, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, harmless from and against all costs, damages, judgments, attorneys’ fees (whether such attorneys shall be regularly retained or specifically employed), expenses, obligations and liabilities of every kind and nature which the Escrow Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, may incur, sustain, or be required to pay in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, unless the aforementioned results from the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and to pay the Escrow Agent on demand the amount of all such costs, damages, judgments, attorneys’ fees, expenses, obligations, and liabilities. The indemnities under this section and the costs and expenses of enforcing such right to indemnification will be paid by Purchaser and Seller on a joint and several basis. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnities shall extend to any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants in Section 9.4 of this Agreement. The foregoing indemnities in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or substitution of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

5.5 (a) To the extent either Party is required to make any payment to the Escrow Agent arising out of such Party’s indemnification obligations under Section 5.1 or Section 5.4 (the “Indemnifying Party”), the other Party (the “Contributing Party”) agrees that promptly upon receiving written notice from the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party is required to make such payment to the Escrow Agent (the “Contribution Notice”), which notice shall be accompanied by documentation evidencing such payment obligation, the Contributing Party will promptly contribute and pay to the Indemnifying Party, in cash in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, one-half of the aggregate amount required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Contributing Party shall not be obligated to contribute or pay any amounts which arise solely based upon or directly arise from the Indemnifying Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) All payments made pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions set forth in the Contribution Notice.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

(a) This Agreement shall terminate on the termination date set forth in a properly executed and delivered Termination Notice (as defined below). The Parties may, at any time, terminate this Agreement by delivering to the Escrow Agent written notice (the “Termination Notice”) signed by the Parties setting forth (i) the requested termination date and (ii) instructions for payment of the remaining Escrow Funds to the Person or Persons designated in such Termination Notice. The Termination Notice shall be received by the Escrow Agent not fewer than two (2) Business Days prior to the requested termination date. A form of Termination Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(b) Should the Parties terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article VI, it is understood and agreed by each of them that the Escrow Agent shall be entitled (i) to keep any monies paid to it (other than monies constituting the Escrow Fund) in respect of fees or expenses previously due and owing and (ii) to offset from the amount of the Escrow Fund on deposit as of the date of the Termination Notice, any amounts due for fees and expenses that, as of such date, have been previously invoiced and which are then delinquent due to nonpayment, provided, however, that such amount shall be offset, if and only to the extent possible, from amounts which would otherwise be paid to the Party or Parties responsible for paying the delinquent amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, if monies would otherwise be paid to a Party upon termination of this Agreement, and such Party is not responsible for the delinquent amounts, then the Escrow Agent shall have no right of setoff against that portion of the Escrow Fund that would be paid to such Party. The Escrow Agent is authorized to disinvest the remaining Escrow Funds one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of termination set forth in the Termination Notice, or may do so earlier if the Escrow Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that disinvesting more than one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date is necessary in order to assure the availability of funds on the requested termination date.

TAX REPORTING

9.1 The Escrow Agent shall, for each calendar year (or portion thereof) that the Escrow Account is in existence, report the income of the Escrow Account (i) to Seller, and (ii) to the IRS, as required by law. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will not take any position in connection with the preparation, filing or audit of any tax return that is in any way inconsistent with the foregoing determination or the information returns or reports provided by the Escrow Agent.

9.2 The Parties understand and agree that they are required to provide the Escrow Agent with a properly completed and signed Tax Certification (as defined below) and that the Escrow Agent may not perform its duties hereunder without having been

- 9 -

provided with such Tax Certification. Accordingly, the parties hereto other than the Escrow Agent understand and agree that unless and until all parties hereto have provided Tax Certifications to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Account shall not be invested as otherwise provided herein nor shall disbursements be made from the Escrow Account as otherwise provided at Article III. In the case of a person that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an original IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) will be provided. In the case of a person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (hereinafter a “foreign person”), an original applicable IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8BEN (or applicable successor form), along with any required attachments, will be provided to the Escrow Agent. As used herein “Tax Certification” shall mean an IRS form W-9 or W-8 as described above. Under current law, the applicable IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8BEN generally will expire every three (3) years and must be replaced with another properly completed and signed original sent to the Escrow Agent. A new original IRS Form W-8, indicating the relevant Escrow Account number, (or such other information or forms as required by law) must be delivered by each foreign person to, and received by, the Escrow Agent either prior to December 31st of the calendar year inclusive of the third (3rd) anniversary date of the date listed on the previously submitted form or as otherwise required by law.

9.3 The Escrow Agent will comply with any U.S. tax withholding or backup withholding and reporting requirements that are required by law. With respect to earnings allocable to a foreign person, the Escrow Agent will withhold U.S. tax as required by law and report such earnings and taxes withheld, if any, for the benefit of such foreign person on IRS Form 1042-S (or any other required form), unless such earnings and withheld taxes are exempt from reporting under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1461-1(c)(2)(ii) or under other applicable law. With respect to earnings allocable to a United States person, the Escrow Agent will report such income, if required, on IRS Form 1099 or any other form required by law. The IRS Forms 1099 and/or 1042-S shall show the Escrow Agent as payor and Seller as payee(s).

9.4 The Parties hereby (i) represent and warrant each for themselves that, as of the date this Agreement is made and entered into, the Escrow Account is not a Qualified Settlement Fund, Designated Settlement Fund, or Disputed Ownership Fund within the meaning of Section 468B of the Code (and the regulations thereunder) and (ii) covenant that they shall not take, fail to take or permit to occur any action or inaction, on or after the date this Agreement is made and entered into, that causes the Escrow Account to become such a Qualified Settlement Fund, Designated Settlement Fund, or Disputed Ownership Fund at any time.

9.5 The Parties to this Agreement agree that they are not relieved of their respective obligations, if any, to prepare and file information reports under Section 6041 of the Code, and the Treasury regulations thereunder, with respect to amounts of imputed interest income, as determined pursuant to Sections 483 or 1272 of the Code. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for determining or reporting such imputed interest.

ESCROW ACCOUNT INVESTMENT SELECTION FORM

INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURES REGARDING INVESTMENTS

Institutional Deposit Account:

U.S and non U.S. Corporate and Institutional Investor Use Only

The Institutional Deposit Account is a Money Market Deposit Account held at Bank of America, N.A. For more complete information about IDA, please refer to the terms and conditions and fact sheet. You should read and review this information carefully before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Funds deposited in IDA are insured to the maximum extent permitted by law and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. IDA has a normal cutoff time of 4:00PM (central time) and any cash received after that time will not be invested until the next business day.

Repurchase Agreement Account:

U.S Corporate and Institutional Investor Use Only

The Repurchase Agreement Account (“RAA”) is a Repurchase Agreement with Bank of America, National Association (“Bank”) and is available with the establishment of an account with Global Custody and Agency Services, a division of Bank acting on your behalf (“GCAS”). For more complete information about RAA, please refer to the terms and conditions and fact sheet. You should read and review this information carefully before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Repurchase Agreements are not deposits within the meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813(l)), are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, the FDIC or any other government agency, and involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal. If a receiver were appointed for Bank of America, the client would have an ownership interest in the securities sold to the client that are described in the applicable trade confirmation received by GCAS on behalf of all clients investing in RAA or, if the transaction were deemed to be a loan, the client would be a secured creditor and have a perfected interest in such securities. RAA has a normal cutoff time of 1:00PM (central time) and any cash received after that time will not be invested until the next business day.

Money Market Funds:

U.S Corporate and Institutional Investor Use Only

For more complete information about a money market fund listed in this form, including expenses, investment objectives, and past performance, please refer to the prospectus. You should read and review this information carefully before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments in money market mutual funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by Bank of America, N.A. and its affiliates, or by any Government Agency. There can be no assurance that the funds can maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Bank of America, N. A. typically has a normal cut-off time of one hour prior to the money market mutual fund’s stated cut off time and any cash received after that time will not be invested until the next Business Day.

The parties to the agreement understand and agree that the Escrow Agent may receive certain revenue associated with money market fund investments. These revenues take one of two forms:

Shareholder Servicing Payments: The Escrow Agent may receive shareholder servicing payments commensurate with the shareholder services provided for the money market fund company. Shareholder services typically provided by Bank of America, N.A. include the maintenance of shareholder ownership records, distributing prospectuses and other shareholder information materials to investors and handling proxy-voting materials. Typically shareholder servicing payments are paid under a money market fund’s 12b-1 distribution plan and impact the investment performance of the fund by the amount of the fee. The shareholder servicing fee payable from any money market fund is detailed in the fund’s prospectus provided to you.

Revenue Sharing Payments: The Escrow Agent may receive revenue sharing payments from a money market fund company. These payments represent a reallocation to the Escrow Agent of a portion of the compensation payable to the fund company in connection with a money market fund investment. Revenue sharing payments constitute a form of fee sharing between the fund company and the Escrow Agent and do not, as a general rule, result in any additional charge or expense in connection with a money market fund investment, are not paid under a 12b-1 plan, and do not impact the investment performance of the fund. The amount of any revenue share, if any, payable to the Escrow Agent with respect to your account’s investments is available upon request.

In the event that a money market fund has been designated as the investment, the parties hereto acknowledge delivery of the prospectus for such fund. The Parties hereto acknowledge that money market funds and other non-deposit investments are not deposits in or obligations of, or guaranteed by, Bank of America Corporation or any of its affiliates and are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency. Investments in money market funds involve investment risks, including possible loss of principal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section 15 of the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 shall not prohibit Consultant from engaging in any transaction with a member of his immediate family if not a part of the conduct of the business of the Company.

7. Confidentiality.

(a) Consultant acknowledges that, during his engagement, he will have access to and use the Company’s Proprietary Information (as defined below) and confidential Customer Information (as defined below). Consultant further acknowledges that the Company’s Proprietary Information was or will be designed and developed by the Company or any Affiliate with considerable effort and at great expense, is unique, secret and confidential, and constitutes the exclusive property and trade secrets of the Company or such Affiliate. Consultant further acknowledges that an integral part of the Company’s business involves the receipt of confidential Customer Information. Consultant further acknowledges that any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Information or Customer Information by Consultant, or any disclosure of the same to any third parties, would be wrongful and would cause irreparable injury to the Company, its customers, suppliers, employees, clients and/or Affiliates.

(b) Accordingly, in addition to any confidentiality obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Consultant covenants and agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and an additional period of three (3) years after Consultant’s engagement by the Company is terminated, he will (i) hold the Proprietary Information and Customer Information in strictest confidence; (ii) not disclose such information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity; and (iii) not use such information for any purpose not expressly authorized in writing by the Company. Consultant also agrees that, upon request of the Company, he will return all Company documents and property in his possession or under his control, including but not limited to business records in any way relating to the Company or its business, its Proprietary Information or Customer Information (without retaining copies of any of the foregoing). Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, claim or damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or relating to Consultant’s unauthorized disclosure or use of the Company’s Proprietary Information or Customer Information.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer Information” shall mean, whether verbal, written or stored electronically, (i) confidential product or technology information of any customer of the Company, as indicated by such customer; (ii) confidential information regarding the business of any customer or its clients learned in the course of providing service and/or products to the customer on behalf of the Company; (iii) other confidential information submitted from time to time by a customer to the Company; and (iv) the identity of the customer as the source of such data or information provided to Consultant by the Company. Customer Information shall in all events, however, exclude information that is generally available to or known by the public.

(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” shall mean, whether verbal, written or stored electronically, all customer lists, prospective customer lists, trade secrets, databases, processes, computer programs, software, object codes, source codes, passwords, entry codes, inventions, improvements, business data, prospective employee lists, business contact information of the Company or developed for the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or customers, information relating to the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s business contracts, marketing strategies, any other secret or confidential matter relating or pertaining to the products, services, sales or other business of the Company, or any Affiliate, and shall include Customer Information that was developed or enhanced by the Company or any Affiliate including data furnished by or on behalf of the customer. Proprietary Information shall in all events, however, exclude information that is (i) generally available to or known by the public; (iii) is or becomes available to the Consultant on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company; or (iv) has been independently acquired or developed by the Consultant without violating any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the term “Customer Information” nor the term “Proprietary Information” shall include information that Consultant is required to disclose under law, rule, regulation, order or in any civil, governmental, regulatory or judicial process, and nothing herein shall restrict Consultant from complying with such request or requirement, provided, however, that Consultant shall give the Company notice of such request or requirement prior to making any disclosure thereunder (in each case, as is practicable and not prohibited by law) so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order, at its sole cost and expense, and/or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance by Consultant with the applicable provisions of this Section 7(e).

8. Return of Documents. Upon termination of Consultant’s engagement with the Company for any reason, all documents, procedural manuals, guides, specifications, plans, drawings, diskettes, designs, software and similar materials, diaries, records, customer lists, notebooks, and similar repositories of or containing Proprietary Information, or Customer Information, including all copies thereof, in the possession or control of Consultant, whether prepared by Consultant or others, shall be left with, or forthwith returned by Consultant to, the Company.

9. Inventions.

(a) Any and all improvements, discoveries, innovations, invention conceptions and/or reductions to practice, problem solutions and, in general, all technological conceptions and developments, which relate to the Company’s business (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”) at the request of the Company or in connection with the delivery of the Services contemplated hereunder, either alone or with others, during the Term of this Agreement, are understood and agreed to be, and are by this Agreement expressly made to be the exclusive property of the Company and shall be deemed to be “works made for hire.”

(b) Consultant shall disclose promptly and fully to the Company and to its attorneys all Inventions, and shall, when requested so to do either before or after the termination of his engagement with the Company, formally assign and convey to the Company his entire right, title and interest in and to all Inventions; assist the Company and its agents in preparing patent applications, both United States and foreign, covering any Invention; promptly review, execute and deliver all said applications and assignments of the same to the Company, and as promptly as reasonably possible, generally give all information and testimony, sign all papers and do all things which may be needed or requested by the Company, to the end that the Company may obtain, extend, reissue, maintain and enforce United States and foreign patents covering said Inventions.

10. Company’s Remedies.

(a) Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and undertakings contained in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique, extraordinary, managerial and intellectual character which gives them a peculiar value, and that a violation of any of the terms of such Sections will cause irreparable injury to the Company, the amount of which will be difficult, if not impossible, to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, Consultant agrees that the Company, in addition to any other available remedies under applicable law, shall be entitled, as a matter of course, to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or threatened violation of any such terms by Consultant and such other persons as the court shall order, without being required to post any bond.

(b) Consultant agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement are reasonable in all respects and are to be interpreted in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time enforcement is sought. However, should any court or other body of competent jurisdiction determine that all or any portion of the agreement set forth herein is invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such agreement (or portion thereof) shall be restricted and deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary so as to preserve and establish its validity and enforceability.

(c) Termination of Consultant’s engagement under this Agreement, by either the Company or Consultant, or expiration of this Agreement, shall not affect either party’s rights and obligations under Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement, and such rights and obligations shall continue and survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11. Assignment. The Company shall not be required to make any payment under this Agreement to any assignee or creditor of Consultant, other than to Consultant’s legal representative on death. Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement are personal and may not be assigned, delegated or transferred in any manner and any attempt to do so shall be void. Consultant, or his legal representative, shall have no rights by way of anticipation or otherwise to assign or otherwise dispose of any right of Consultant under this Agreement. The Company may assign this Agreement without Consultant’s written consent to any successor to or purchaser of the Company’s business or any portion thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company, Consultant and their permitted successors and assigns.

12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed conclusively to have been delivered (a) when personally delivered; (b) when sent by facsimile or email (in each case with a hard copy to follow) during a business day (or on the next business day if sent after the close of normal business hours or on any non-business day); (c) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight express courier (charges prepaid); or (d) three (3) Business Days following mailing by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested.

(c) Termination of Employee’s employment under this Agreement, by either the Company or Employee, pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, or expiration of this Agreement, shall not affect either party’s rights and obligations under Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, and such rights and obligations shall continue and survive the termination of Employee’s employment under this Agreement or expiration of this Agreement.

7. Conflicts of Interest. While employed by the Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly:

(b) realize a personal gain or advantage from a transaction in which the Company (or an Affiliate) has an interest or use information obtained in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company for Employee’s personal advantage or gain; or

8. Confidentiality.

(a) In addition to the obligations and commitments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Employee acknowledges that the Company’s Proprietary Information (as defined below) was or will be designed and developed by the Company or any Affiliate with considerable effort and at great expense, is unique, secret and confidential, and constitutes the exclusive property and trade secrets of the Company or such Affiliate. Employee further acknowledges that an integral part of the Company’s business involves the receipt of confidential Customer Information (as defined below). Employee further acknowledges that any unauthorized use of the Proprietary Information or Customer Information by Employee, or any disclosure of the same to any third parties, would be wrongful and would cause irreparable injury to the Company, its customers, suppliers, employees, clients and/or Affiliates.

(b) Accordingly, Employee covenants and agrees that during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending three (3) years following Employee’s termination of employment, Employee will (i) hold the Proprietary Information and Customer Information in strictest confidence; (ii) not disclose such information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, other than as required by applicable law; and (iii) not use such information for any purpose not expressly authorized in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee’s obligations with respect to Proprietary Information that constitutes trade secrets shall continue for so long as permitted by applicable law. Employee also agrees that upon request of the Company Employee will return all business records in Employee’s possession or control in any way relating to the Company or its business, its Proprietary Information or Customer Information. Employee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, claim or damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or relating to Employee’s unauthorized disclosure and use of the Company’s Proprietary Information or Customer Information.

Employee acknowledges that this covenant is necessary to enable the Company to maintain a stable workforce and remain in business.

12. Intellectual Property.

(a) Employee agrees that upon conception and/or development of any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that: (i) relates to the business of the Company, or (ii) relates to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (iii) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company, Employee will assign to the Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any such idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design.

(b) Employee has no obligation to assign any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that Employee conceives and/or develops entirely on Employee’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information unless the idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design: (i) relates to the business of the Company, (ii) relates to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (iii) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company.

(c) Employee agrees that any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that relates to the business of the Company or relates to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development which is conceived or suggested by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, within one (1) year following termination of Employee’s employment shall be presumed to have been so made, conceived or suggested in the course of such employment with the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or trade secrets.

(d) In order to determine Employee’s rights and the rights of the Company in any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material, and to insure the protection of the same, Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment, and for one (1) year after the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will disclose immediately and fully to the Company any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design conceived, made or developed by Employee solely or jointly with others. The Company agrees to keep any such disclosures confidential. Employee also agrees to record descriptions of all work in the manner directed by the Company, and Employee agrees that all such records and copies, samples and experimental materials will be the exclusive property of the Company.

(e) Employee agrees that at the request of and without charge to the Company, but at the Company’s expense, Employee will execute a written assignment of the idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design to the Company and will assign to the Company any application for letters patent or for trademark registration made thereon, and to any common-law or statutory copyright therein; and Employee will do whatever may be necessary or desirable to enable the Company to secure any patent, trademark, copyright, or other property right therein in the United States of America and in any foreign country, and any division, renewal, continuation, or continuation in part thereof, or for any reissue of any patent issues thereon.

(f) In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, and in any event after ten business days, to secure Employee’s signature on a written assignment to the Company of any application for letters patent or to any common-law statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, Employee irrevocably designates and appoints the President of the Company as Employee’s attorney-in-fact to act on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such letters patent, copyright or trademark.

13. Company’s Remedies.

(a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and undertakings contained in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique, extraordinary, managerial and intellectual character which gives them a peculiar value and that a violation of any of the terms of such Sections will cause irreparable injury to the Company, the amount of which will be difficult, if not impossible, to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to any other available remedies under applicable law, shall be entitled, as a matter of course, to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or threatened violation of any such terms by Employee and such other persons as the court shall order.

(b) Employee agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are reasonable in all respects and are to be interpreted in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time enforcement is sought. However, should any court or other body of competent jurisdiction determine that all or any portion of the agreements set forth herein is invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such agreement (or portion thereof) shall be restricted and deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary so as to preserve and establish its validity and enforceability.

14. Employee’s Remedies. Employee’s sole remedy against the Company for breach of this Agreement is the collection of any compensation and benefits due to Employee as provided in Section 6.

15. Assignment. The Company shall not be required to make any payment under this Agreement to any assignee or creditor of Employee, other than to Employee’s legal representative on death. Employee’s obligations under this Agreement are personal and may not be assigned, delegated or transferred in any manner and any attempt to do so shall be void. Employee, or Employee’s legal representative, shall have no rights by way of anticipation or otherwise to assign or otherwise dispose of any right of Employee under this Agreement. The Company may assign this Agreement without Employee’s written consent to any successor to the Company’s business or any portion thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company, Employee and their permitted successors and assigns.

16. Company’s Obligations Unfunded. Except for any benefits under any benefit plan of the Company that are required by law or by express agreement to be funded, it is understood that the Company’s obligations under this Agreement are not funded, and it is agreed that the Company shall not be required to set aside or escrow any monies in advance of the due date of the payment of such monies to Employee.

The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any salary, bonus, benefits, or other compensation payable to Employee hereunder such amounts as it is required or authorized to withhold under applicable laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for Employee with respect to any payment provided to Employee hereunder, and Employee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Employee with respect to any such payment.

The Insurer shall only be liable for Loss once the Retention has been fully eroded. The Retention (as adjusted in accordance with Section 5.3 below) shall apply until such time as it has been fully eroded after which no Retention shall apply.

5.2

Erosion of the Retention

The Retention shall be eroded by Loss for which the Insurer would be liable under this Policy but for the Retention. The Retention shall also be eroded by Uncovered Losses but in no event shall the Retention be eroded to less than:

(a) the amount set forth in Item 5(b) of the Declarations prior to the First Retention Dropdown Date; and

(b) the amount set forth in Item 5(c) of the Declarations between the First Retention Dropdown Date and the Second Retention Dropdown Date.

After the Second Retention Dropdown Date, the Retention may not be eroded by Uncovered Losses.

For purposes of this Section 5.2, Uncovered Losses shall not include any Loss referenced in Sections 6.1(xii) and 6.1(xiii) of this Policy.

5.3

Retention Dropdown

From the First Retention Dropdown Date until the Second Retention Dropdown Date, the Retention shall be reduced to the lesser of: (i) $3,500,000; or (ii) $7,000,000 less the sum of (A) the total amount of Losses plus (B) Uncovered Losses (subject to Section 5.2 above), in each case, then incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred resulting from claims incurred or made on or before the First Retention Dropdown Date; provided that Losses and/or Uncovered Losses estimated as reasonably expected to be incurred (and the corresponding erosion of the Retention) shall be adjusted when actually incurred.

After the Second Retention Dropdown Date, the Retention shall be reduced to the lesser of: (i) $1,750,000; or (ii) $3,500,000 less the sum of (A) the total amount of Loss plus (B) Uncovered Losses (subject to Section 5.2 above), in each case, then incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred resulting from claims incurred or made on or before the Second Retention Dropdown Date; provided that Losses and/or Uncovered Losses estimated as reasonably expected to be incurred (and the corresponding erosion of the Retention) shall be adjusted when actually incurred).

In no event will the aggregate amount of the initial and subsequent Retentions cause the Insured to sustain Loss in an amount that exceeds US$7,000,000.

prior to the relevant Expiration Date to which the Claim Notice relates; or

Policy No. 0309-2054

7.6

Insurer’s response

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Insurer receives a Claim Notice, the Insurer shall respond by acknowledging or denying the claimed Loss or the claimed erosion of the Retention or if the Insurer is not in a position to determine on the information available a final cover position then the Insurer shall request such additional information as it may reasonably require from the Insured. The Insurer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any Claim Notice in a manner which provides the Insured sufficient time to satisfy any litigation deadlines of which the Insurer is made aware that relate to the subject matter of the Claim Notice.

7.7

Cooperation Clause

The Insurer, at its sole cost and expense shall be entitled to participate fully in the defense negotiation and settlement of any Loss, such that the Insured shall, and shall cause each of its Controlled Entities to, as applicable (without limitation):

(i)

to the extent reasonably permitted by the circumstance, not incur any Defense Costs without the prior written consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);

(ii)

not settle, compromise or discharge any Breach or Loss without the prior written consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that such consent shall not be required with respect to any settlement, compromise or discharge that does not exceed 10% of the remaining Retention;

to the extent reasonably practicable and upon the Insurer’s reasonable written request, provide the Insurer with copies of all correspondence and documentation available in connection with the claim at the Insurer’s sole cost and expense and to the extent possible afford the Insurer sufficient time in which to review such documentation, provided the Insurer shall cooperate in good faith with the Insured to ensure and preserve the privileged or confidential status of any information shared or communication in connection with this Policy provided;

with respect to any Third Party Demand:

(A) that is reasonably anticipated to exceed 50% of the then remaining Retention; or

(B) in the event the Retention has been satisfied

conduct all negotiations and proceedings in respect of any Third Party Demand with advisors consented to by the Insurer in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being agreed that the Insurer hereby consents to the conduct of such negotiations and proceedings by Jones Day); and

Nothing in this Policy shall be construed to require the waiver of any Fifth Amendment or similar protection or require any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine or other privileges. Any failure of the Insured to comply with this Clause 7.7 shall not relieve the Insurer of its obligations under this Policy, however, the Insurer shall be entitled to reduce the amount of Loss payable under this Policy to reflect the extent to which the Insurer’s position has been adversely affected thereby.

The Insurer does not assume any duty to defend the Insured with respect to any lawsuit.

8	ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE INSURED

9.4

Costs of defending claim

The Insured shall defend at its own expense and be liable for any counterclaim or Third Party Demand asserted against the Insured in connection with any subrogation claim pursued by the Insurer, unless such counterclaim or Third Party Demand arises out of the same or reasonably related facts and allegations as the subrogation claim or would itself lead to a Breach.

10	OTHER PROVISIONS

10.1

Acquisition Agreement

The Insured shall not effect or give any waiver, consent, amendment or assignment under the Acquisition Agreement without first obtaining the consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such proposed waiver, consent, amendment or assignment could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Insurer’s rights or liability under this Policy.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE

NOTICE OF TERRORISM

INSURANCE COVERAGE

You are notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, that you have a right to purchase insurance coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury—in concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United States—to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN OTHER EXCLUSIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE, SUCH AS AN EXCLUSION FOR NUCLEAR EVENTS. UNDER THE FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GENERALLY REIMBURSES 85% OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE.

II. INCREMENTAL FACILITY

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Incremental Tranche A Term Lender severally agrees to make, on the Incremental Effective Date (as defined below), an Incremental Tranche A Term Loan in dollars to the Parent Borrower in an amount equal to the commitment amount set forth next to such Incremental Tranche A Term Lender’s name in Schedule I hereto under the caption “Incremental Tranche A Term Commitment”; provided that the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans shall each constitute the same Class of Tranche A Term Loans under the Credit Agreement as the Tranche A Term Loans made prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Tranche A Term Loans”). Except as necessary to give effect to the provisions of clauses (b) through (i) below, the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans shall be “Loans”, “Term Loans”, “Tranche A Term Loans” and “Incremental Term Loans” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

in the case of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D), to the extent any fact, circumstance, event, change or effect materially and disproportionately impacts the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other participants in the industries in which the Company and the Subsidiaries operate. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this paragraph shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Purchase Agreement as of the date hereof.

(c) The Parent Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, within seven Business Days of the Incremental Effective Date, a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of counsel to the Target and its Subsidiaries, in form and substance consistent with the opinions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent.
