file their respective tax returns in a manner consistent with the aforesaid
allocations and elections.

provided herein, the Purchaser will assume, fulfill and perform only those
executory obligations and liabilities of the Vendor that arise under the

4.4

Notice; Right to Defend. Each party shall give prompt written notice to the
other of the assertion or commencement of any Claim in respect of which
indemnity is or may be sought hereunder, other than Claims in which the parties
are litigating claims against each other. The indemnifying party shall have the
right and obligation to assume the defense or settlement of any third-party
Claim in respect of which it is obligated to provide indemnity hereunder;

4.5

Resolution of Disputes.

   

(a)

Other than with regard to Article 6.0 hereof or with regard to the Note, with
respect to any other dispute or disagreement hereunder, either party may
initiate negotiations by providing written notice to the other party, setting
forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The recipient shall
respond in writing within seven (7) days of receipt with its position and
recommended solution to the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by this
exchange of correspondence, then representatives of each party with full
settlement authority shall meet at a mutually agreeable time and place within
thirty (30) days of the date of the initial notice, to attempt to resolve the
dispute. If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein
within thirty (30) days from receipt of the initial notice, the parties shall
attempt to settle the dispute through mediation under the Commercial Mediation
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, or its successor, in effect on
the date of this Agreement. The parties shall jointly appoint a mutually
acceptable mediator. If the dispute is not resolved by mediation within
sixty (60) days after the filing of this request for mediation, either party may
request arbitration as set forth herein.

           

(b)

Subject to clause (j) hereof, any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof involving only a claim as
between the parties hereto, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with
commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Arbitration
proceedings conducted pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

held in Grand Rapids, Michigan if arbitration is requested by Vendor, or in
Indianapolis, Indiana if arbitration is requested by Purchaser, or in such other
location as the parties may agree.

           

(c)

Arbitrations shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator")
selected at random from a list of arbitrators maintained in the office of the
AAA in Michigan or Indiana, as applicable. The Arbitrator must be a person
experienced in corporate law or the law of mergers and acquisitions and must
have served as an arbitrator in at least one prior commercial arbitration
involving primarily questions of commercial or corporate law conducted under the
AAA rules. The Arbitrator may not be a person who ever has been an affiliate of
or attorney for any party or for any of their respective affiliates.

           

(d)

The parties shall allow and participate in discovery in accordance with the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for a period of 90 days after the filing of an
answer or other responsive pleading. Unresolved discovery disputes may be
brought to the attention of the Arbitrator for resolution.

           

(e)

Any provisional remedy that would be available from a court of law shall be
available from the Arbitrator to the parties pending arbitration. Any party may,
without inconsistency with the Agreement, apply to any court of proper
jurisdiction and seek injunctive relief to maintain the status quo until the
arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.

           

(f)

The Arbitrator's award shall be made in writing and shall make written findings
of fact and conclusions of law. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award
punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages
and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding, or award that does not
conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Judgment on any
arbitration award may be entered by the Arbitrator or by any party in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. No party or Arbitrator may disclose the existence,
content, or results of any arbitration or arbitration award without the prior
written consent of both parties except to the extent necessary to enter and
enforce a judgment based upon such an award.

           

(g)

The award of the Arbitrator shall be final and not subject to appeal. Each party
hereby waives the benefit of any applicable law which would permit it to appeal
the decision of the Arbitrator to any court or other authority.

           

(h)

All fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally.
However, each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel, experts,
witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Arbitrator shall be entitled to tax and assess costs against any
party (including the fees of attorneys and

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

arbitrators) to the extent that the Arbitrator finds that such party's claim or
any portion thereof was unreasonable, speculative or primarily for the purpose
of delaying the exercise of rights by the prevailing party.

           

(i)

The Arbitrator may apportion the costs of the arbitration, including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of the Arbitrator and the legal costs and
disbursements of the parties, between or among the parties in such manner as the
Arbitrator considers reasonable. In determining the allocation of these costs,
the Arbitrator will invite submissions as to costs and may consider, among other
things, any offer of settlement made by any party during the course of the
arbitration.

           

(j)

The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Any dispute regarding the applicability of this Section 4.5 to a particular
claim or controversy shall be arbitrated as provided in this Section 4.5.

           

(k)

The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not apply to matters relating, in whole
or in part to Article 6.0.

5.0

5.1

Transfer of Possession. This Agreement shall operate, without further act or
