 PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 9th day of September, 2009, by and between
FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“Buyer”), DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEMS, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), each stakeholder in
the Company signatory to this Agreement or otherwise added to this Agreement by execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 5.11 (individually a “Seller” and collectively, the
“Sellers”) and Vatche Artinian as the Sellers’ Representative (as defined herein). 
 WITNESSETH

 WHEREAS, the Sellers desire to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase and accept from the Sellers, all
of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and all options, warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into capital stock of the Company, on the terms set
forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINED TERMS 
 Section 1.1. Defined Terms. 
 The location of terms defined in the body of this Agreement is set forth in Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used and not defined in
the body of this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A. 
 ARTICLE II  
 PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES 
 Section 2.1. Sale of Shares. 
 Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement: 
 (a) the Sellers shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and receive from the
Sellers, all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Shares, Options and Warrants; and 
 (b) the Company
shall discharge the indebtedness and certain other liabilities of the Company as set forth herein, for an aggregate purchase price of One Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($120,000,000) (the “Base Purchase Price”), subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 (as adjusted, the “Purchase Price”) and payable in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i). The Company shall distribute the cash and cash equivalents (in each case as classified in
accordance with GAAP) of the Company (but not the Restricted Cash, which will be retained by the Company at the Closing and become a part of the Holdback Amount) to the Sellers immediately prior to the Closing. 
  

 1 







 Section 2.2. Closing. 
 The closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. at 1001
Fannin Street, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77002, (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m. (local time) as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than five business days following the date on which the conditions specified
in Article VI (other than the conditions by which their terms are only capable of being satisfied on the Closing Date) have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time and place as the parties may agree (the “Closing
Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Closing occur prior to October 30, 2009 unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer. 
 Section 2.3. Purchase Price Adjustment. 
 (a) The parties
hereto acknowledge that the Base Purchase Price has been based in part on the Company having a minimum Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date equal to Negative One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($-1,100,000) (the “Net Working
Capital Threshold”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Working Capital” means the consolidated amount of Current Assets less Current Liabilities of the Company, as of the Closing Date. 
 (b) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare in accordance with GAAP and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a
balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, which shall set forth the Company’s Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (“Closing Date Net Working Capital”). If within 15 days following such delivery, the
Sellers’ Representative has not delivered to Buyer written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) of any disputes with the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital (such Dispute Notice must contain a statement
describing in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute), then the Closing Date Net Working Capital will be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Dispute Notice within such 15 day period,
and the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer are unable to reach a mutual determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Dispute Notice, then any such matters remaining in dispute with respect to
the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be referred to KPMG LLP (or if KPMG LLP is unable to serve in such capacity, then another “big four” public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Sellers’
Representative and Buyer) (the “Accountants”), for determination. Each of the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer will: 
 (i) furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed determination as the Accountants may request and are available to the Sellers’
Representative and Buyer; and 
 (ii) be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material
relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants. The determination by the Accountants, as set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on such parties, and
Buyer and the Sellers

  

 2 







 
will each pay 50% of the Accountants’ fees for such determination. Buyer shall have the right to cause the Sellers’ portion of the payment for the Accountants to be paid from the
Holdback Amount. 
 (c) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater (less negative) than the Net Working
Capital Threshold, Buyer will pay the difference and the Holdback Amount to the Sellers in accordance with their individual Escrow Percentage within five business days after the determination is made, at Buyer’s option, by check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the address or account designated in writing by the Sellers to Buyer at least three business days prior to the date of payment. 
 (d) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less (more negative) than the Net Working Capital Threshold, Buyer will offset
the difference (the “Net Working Capital Difference”) against the Holdback Amount and pay any remaining portion, if any, of the Holdback Amount to the Sellers in accordance with their individual Escrow Percentage within five
business days after the determination is made, at Buyer’s option, by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the address or bank account designated in writing by the Sellers to Buyer at least three business days prior to the
date of payment; provided that if the Net Working Capital Difference is greater than the Holdback Amount, Buyer will be entitled to retain the Holdback Amount and each Seller will pay Buyer the amount of the difference between the Net Working
Capital Difference and Holdback Amount in accordance with their individual Escrow Percentage within five business days after the determination is made, or at Buyer’s option, Buyer may withdraw any or all of such difference from the Escrowed
Amount. 
 Section 2.4. Closing Deliveries. 
 (a) At the Closing, the Company, the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, will deliver to Buyer: 
 (i) certificates representing all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including the certificates representing all of
the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock that as of the Closing will have been converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.12(a), together with properly executed stock powers
acceptable in form and substance to Buyer and sufficient to transfer all of each Seller’s right, title and interest in the Shares to Buyer; 
 (ii) a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company certifying to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.2(c); 
 (iii) a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail: 
 (A) an itemized list of all Transaction Costs; 
 (B) that all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock have been converted into Common
Stock prior to the Closing; and 
  

 3 







 (C) all amounts necessary to repay in full all indebtedness of the Company
(other than the indebtedness set forth on Schedule 2.4(a)(iii)(C)), including all interest-bearing obligations of the company, remaining principal amounts associated with any convertible loans and indebtedness set forth on Schedule 3.19, outstanding
as of the Closing Date and the related payment instructions; 
 (iv) payoff letters acceptable in form and
substance to Buyer evidencing the amount required to pay in full of all outstanding indebtedness of the Company that will be paid at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)(A), and the release of all liens thereunder; and 
 (v) the Escrow Agreement, executed by the Sellers’ Representative, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B (as modified pursuant to the request of the Escrow Agent). 
 (b) At the Closing, Buyer will deliver:

 (i) the Base Purchase Price, payable or withheld as follows: 
 (A) FIRST, Buyer shall pay all indebtedness of the Company and Transaction Costs set forth on the certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(iii), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such amounts and to such accounts as are designated on such certificate; 
 (B) SECOND, Buyer shall pay Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Escrowed Amount”) to an escrow
account administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (as may be modified pursuant to the request of the
Escrow Agent) (the “Escrow Agreement”); 
 (C) THIRD, Buyer shall withhold cash in the
aggregate amount of Eight Hundred Twenty One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventeen Dollars ($821,617) (such amount together with the Restricted Cash, the “Holdback Amount”), which will be disbursed or withheld by Buyer in
accordance with the purchase price adjustment set forth in Section 2.3(d); and 
 (D) FOURTH, Buyer shall
pay the remainder of the Base Purchase Price (after payment or withholding of all items described in subsections (A) through (C) (inclusive)) to the Sellers that hold shares of Common Stock, Options or Warrants as follows: 
 (i) An “Effective Purchase Price Per Share” will be established as follows: the sum of the remainder
of the Base Purchase Price (after payment or withholding of all items described in subsections (A) through (C) (inclusive)) PLUS an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of all Options and Warrants (without regard to any vesting
requirements), DIVIDED by the total number outstanding shares of

  

 4 







 
Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, including the number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Options and Warrants (without regard to any vesting requirements) and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock; 
 (ii) Buyer shall pay each Seller that holds shares of Common Stock an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such Seller MULTIPLIED by the Effective Purchase Price Per Share;
and 
 (iii) Buyer shall pay each Seller that holds a Warrant or Option an amount equal to: 
 (1) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Warrants and Options held by such Seller (without regard to any
vesting requirements) MULTIPLIED by the Effective Purchase Price Per Share; and LESS 
 (2) the aggregate
exercise price of all such Warrants and Options held by such Seller (assuming full vesting). 
 At least three days prior to the
Closing, Sellers’ Representative shall provide Buyer with Schedule 2.4(b)(i)(D), which shall identify all Sellers that will be paid at closing pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(i)(D) along with a calculation of the payment to be made to each
such Seller and designating a bank account for each such Seller. 
 Buyer shall deliver the amounts payable in accordance with
subsections (D) to the applicable Seller, at Buyer’s option, by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such addresses or bank accounts as are designated by such Seller to Buyer at least three business days before Closing;

 (ii) to Sellers’ Representative, the Escrow Agreement executed by Buyer, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B; and 
 (iii) to Sellers’ Representative, a certificate executed by
a duly authorized officer of Buyer certifying to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(c). 
 Section 2.5. Warrants. 
 Each Seller that holds a Warrant
hereby agrees that, upon delivery by Buyer of the proceeds to which such Seller is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)(D), all Warrants held by it will automatically, and with no further action required of any Person, terminate and be
cancelled, and cease to represent a right to acquire any Shares of the Company and be of no further force and effect. 
  

 5 







 Section 2.6. Options. 
 Each Seller that holds an Option hereby agrees that, upon delivery by Buyer of the proceeds to which such Seller is entitled pursuant to
Section 2.4(b)(i)(D), all Options held by it will automatically, and with no further action required of any Person, terminate and be cancelled, and cease to represent a right to acquire any Shares of the Company and be of no further force and
effect. 
 Section 2.7. Withholding. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise
payable to the Sellers or any other Person pursuant to this Article II any amounts that Buyer (or, in the case of the Sellers who hold Options, the Company) is required to deduct and withhold with respect to payment under any provision of any tax
law. Any Seller that is a foreign person and exempt from U.S. withholding taxes shall provide an affidavit to such effect to Buyer prior to Closing. If Buyer so withholds amounts, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the Sellers or such other Person in respect of which Buyer made such deduction or withholding. 
 ARTICLE
III

the burden of proving that a Loss is an Excluded Loss. As used in this Article VII, the term “Buyer Indemnitees” means Buyer and any present or future officer, director, employee, affiliate, stockholder or agent of Buyer and,
after the Closing, the Company and any present or future officer, director, employee, affiliate, stockholder or agent of the Company as of immediately following the Closing; the term “Seller Indemnitees” means each Seller
and, to the extent a Seller is not an individual, any present or future officer, director, employee, affiliate, stockholder or agent of each Seller. 
 Section 7.2. Indemnification by Sellers. 
 Subject to the other
terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee that arise out
of, relate to or result from: 
 (a) unpaid taxes that are attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the
Closing Date, and that have not been accrued for purposes of calculating Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.3 other than as a result of elections made by the Company or actions taken by the Company that are inconsistent with past
positions and practices of the Company, in each case where such election or action is made or taken on or after the Closing Date and not required by or to comply with Law; 
 (b) any breach of any Seller representation or warranty in Article III; 
 (c) the breach or violation of any covenant or obligation of the Company before Closing or any Seller under this Agreement; 
  

 35 







 (d) any non-compliance with applicable Laws relating to the employment of any Company Worker
to the extent that such Loss arises from or relates to actions or events occurring prior to the Closing; 
 (e) any Transaction
Costs, to the extent not paid prior to the Closing or accrued for purposes of calculating Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.3; 
 (f) any Pre-Closing Liabilities (the “Seller Indemnified Liabilities”); and 
 (g) the failure of any Person to deliver at the Closing for transfer to Buyer any certificates representing shares of outstanding capital stock of the Company or Warrants or Options and the election by
Buyer (in its sole discretion) to waive any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.2 as a result of such failure, but only to the extent such Losses suffered by Buyer are in excess of the amounts Buyer would have been required
to pay for such shares of outstanding capital stock of the Company or Warrants or Options pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(D) of this Agreement and such Losses were not otherwise included in the calculation of Transaction Costs. 
 Section 7.3. Indemnification by Buyer. 
 Subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by
any Seller Indemnitee that arise out of, relate to or result from: 
 (a) any breach of any Buyer representation or warranty in
Article IV; and 
 (b) any breach or violation of any covenant or obligation in this Agreement of Buyer. 
 Section 7.4. Procedures for Indemnification. 
 As used herein, an “Indemnified Party” means a party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or
Section 7.3 hereof, as applicable, and the term “Indemnifying Party” means the party who is obligated to provide indemnification under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as applicable. The Indemnified Party agrees to
give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any event, or any claim, action, suit, demand, assessment, investigation, arbitration or other proceeding by or in respect of a third party (a “3rd Party Claim”) of which
it has knowledge, for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII. In the case of a 3rd Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to direct, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense or
settlement of any such 3rd Party Claim at its own expense (and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to so direct if the
Indemnifying Party is a Seller and the estimated amount of Loss related to such 3rd Party Claim exceeds the then remaining Escrowed Amount. The Indemnified Party will promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with access to the Indemnified
Party’s records and personnel relating to any such 3rd Party Claim during normal business hours and will otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or settlement of such 3rd Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses paid to third parties. The Indemnified Party will not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising

  

 36 







 
from such 3rd Party Claim, unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may
be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. No such 3rd Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld, unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages and does not seek to impose equitable relief. If the Indemnifying Party fails to defend or fails to prosecute or withdraws from such
defense, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, and seek reimbursement hereunder. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of such 3rd Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.4 and
proposes to settle such claim prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party will have the right to
participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such 3rd Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not direct the defense or settlement of a 3rd Party Claim because of the proviso in the third sentence of this Section 7.4,
the Indemnified Party will not settle such 3rd Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 7.4, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the
authority to act on behalf of the Sellers and Buyer shall be permitted to rely on the actions of the Sellers’ Representative and to serve notice to the Sellers’ Representative rather than the Sellers. 
 Section 7.5. Escrow. 
 (a) The Escrow Agreement will provide for the Escrow Agent thereunder to hold the Escrowed Amount as security for the payment of any claims for Losses to which Buyer Indemnitees are entitled pursuant to
Section 2.3(d), Section 5.3, Section 7.2 and Section 9.14, in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.5 and subject to any limitations on claims set forth in this Article VII. Any claims for Losses pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be satisfied out of the amounts held in the Escrow Account generally regardless as to whether any individual Seller or all of the Sellers are obligated to make any such payment. 
 (b) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, all then remaining amounts held in the Escrow Account that exceed Six Million Dollars
($6,000,000), if any, shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their individual Escrow Percentage, except the aggregate amount of then outstanding claims for Losses made by Buyer Indemnitees that have not been resolved and satisfied
(if applicable) shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been resolved and satisfied, and thereafter all remaining amounts that exceed Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their
individual Escrow Percentage. 
 (c) On the third anniversary of the Closing Date, all then remaining amounts held in the Escrow
Account, including interest and earnings thereon, shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with their individual Escrow Percentage, except the aggregate amount of then outstanding claims for Losses by Buyer Indemnitees that have not been
resolved and satisfied (if applicable) shall remain in the Escrow Account until such claims have been resolved and satisfied, and thereafter all remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Escrow
Percentage. 
  

 37 







 (d) To the extent that the Sellers do not reimburse any Buyer Indemnitee within five
business days after notice from Buyer Indemnitee for any amounts to which such Buyer is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(d), Section 5.3, Section 7.2 and Section 9.14, then such Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled at any time and
from time to time, to deliver to the Escrow Agent written notice (a “Escrow Claim Notice”) instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to such Buyer Indemnitee such portion of the Escrowed Amount as shall satisfy its claim for
the amount owed by the Sellers to Buyer Indemnitee (a “Escrow Claim”), which notice shall specify with particularity the nature and amount of the Escrow Claim, including the provision of this Agreement entitling such Buyer
Indemnitee to such Escrow Claim. Any such Escrow Claim Notice provided by Buyer Indemnitee to the Escrow Agent shall also be simultaneously provided to the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative may within 10 business days
after receiving an Escrow Claim Notice give written notice to Buyer Indemnitee and the Escrow Agent of any objection thereto (the “Objection Notice”), which notice shall specify with particularity the nature and basis for the
Sellers’ objection. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative fails to timely deliver an Objection Notice, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer Indemnitee such portion of
the Escrowed Amount as shall satisfy such Escrow Claim set forth in such Escrow Claim Notice. If the Sellers’ Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly, and in any event
within 30 business days after Buyer Indemnitee’s receipt of the Objection Notice, meet to attempt to resolve any disputes with respect thereto. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve a dispute, such dispute shall be
resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.12. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.5, disbursements of the Escrowed Amount shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement. All fees, costs and expenses of the
Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Agreement shall be paid 50% by Sellers from the Escrowed Amount and 50% by Buyer. 
 Section 7.6. Survival Limitation. 
 (a) All representations and warranties made by each party in
this Agreement and in the disclosure schedules attached hereto and the other documents contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one year; except for: 
 (i) the representations and warranties in Section 3.20 (Taxes) and Section 3.23 (Employee Benefit Plans), which
shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; 
 (ii) the representations and
warranties in Section 3.21 (Intellectual Property), which shall survive the Closing Date for a period of four years; and 
 (iii) the representations and warranties in Section 3.1 (Incorporation; Existence; Good Standing; Power and Authority; Qualification), Section 3.2 (Due Execution; Binding Obligation),
Section 3.3 (Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Minutes), Section 3.4 (Capitalization; Sellers’ Ownership of Shares) and Section 3.5 (No Conflict), which shall survive indefinitely. 
 (b) Any claims for indemnification for breach of any representations or warranties under this Agreement, the disclosure schedules and the
other documents contemplated hereby

  

 38 







 
must be asserted within the applicable survival period for such representation and warranty set forth in this Section 7.6. The covenants and agreements of each party hereto contained in this
Agreement shall survive for the relevant statute of limitations period, unless a different period is expressly provided for herein. Any claim asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall survive (but only with
respect to such claim) until such claim is resolved and payment in respect thereof, if any is owing, is made. 
 Section 7.7. Limitations on Indemnification and Payment of Damages. 
 (a) Buyer shall not
make a claim (other than for taxes, Transaction Costs or pursuant to Section 7.2(g)) under Section 7.2 hereof until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses to Buyer Indemnitees exceeds $750,000. 
 (b) The Sellers shall not make a claim under Section 7.3 hereof until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses to Seller
Indemnitees exceeds $750,000. 
 Section 7.8. Cap. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, in no event shall the Company prior to Closing or the Sellers after the Closing
be required to make aggregate payments in respect of Seller Indemnified Liabilities arising out of Section 7.2(b) (other than pursuant to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1 through Section 3.5
(inclusive)) and Section 7.2(f) in excess of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the aggregate payments in respect of Seller Indemnified Liabilities arising out of claims under
Section 7.2(b) (other than pursuant to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1 through Section 3.5 (inclusive)) and Section 7.2(f) that are first asserted in writing after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date shall not exceed the lesser of 
 (i) Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000); and 
 (ii) the amount equal to 
 (A) the Cap MINUS 
 (B) any payments made in respect of Seller
Indemnified Liabilities arising out of Section 7.2(b) (other than pursuant to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1 through Section 3.5 (inclusive)) and Section 7.2(f) that were first asserted in
writing on or before the Closing Date. 
 In no event shall any Seller be liable to make any payments in respect of Seller
Indemnified Liabilities in excess of the share of the Purchase Price received, directly or indirectly, by such Seller. 
  

 39 







 Section 7.9. Exclusive Remedy. 
 In the absence of fraud or criminal conduct, the indemnification provisions in this Article VII will be the sole and exclusive remedy
and recourse for any breach of this Agreement by Buyer or the Sellers, except as expressly provided herein (including in Section 9.15 and the following sentence). In addition, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any Seller of any
of the provisions of Section 5.5 (Use of Name) and Section 9.13 (Confidentiality and Publicity), Buyer shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief, as the Sellers acknowledge and agree that any such breach would cause the Buyer
irreparable injury for which they would have no adequate remedy at law. 
 Section 7.10. Characterization of
Indemnification Payments. 
 Unless otherwise required by law, all payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be
treated for all tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price. To the extent any such payment is not treated as a non-taxable adjustment to the Purchase Price by any taxing authority, the Sellers or Buyer (as applicable) shall make such payment
on an after-tax basis so that the amount of any such payment is increased to adjust for any taxes imposed on Buyer or the Sellers (as applicable) as a result of receiving such payment. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

 Section 8.1. Termination. 
 This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 
 (a) by the mutual written consent of the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer; 
 (b) by either the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer on or after October 31, 2009 if any condition to the Closing set forth in
Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 has not then been satisfied or waived, unless: 
 (i) such date is mutually
extended by the written agreement of the Company and Buyer or 
 (ii) the reasons for the failure of such
condition to be satisfied is the failure or delay on the part of the party attempting to terminate this Agreement (including for purposes of the Sellers’ Representative attempting to terminate, any failure or delay on the part of any Seller)
pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) to comply with or perform its covenants or obligations as set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 (c) by either the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer if a governmental authority, administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued any Order permanently restraining, enjoining
or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause
(c) shall have complied with Section 5.6 (Governmental Consents) and, with respect to other matters not covered by Section 5.6, shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Order; 
  

 40 







 (d) by Buyer, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 above have not been
complied with or performed in any respect and such non-compliance or non-performance is not cured or eliminated (or by its nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Sellers on or before the Closing Date; and 
 (e) by the Sellers’ Representative, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 above have not been complied with or
performed in any respect and such non-compliance or non-performance is not cured or eliminated (or by its nature cannot be cured or eliminated) by Buyer on or before the Closing Date. 
 Section 8.2. Effect of Termination. 
 In the event of termination in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement will forthwith become void and there will be no liability on the part of any party hereto, though no party will be
absolved of any liability for any willful and intentional breach of this Agreement as a result of the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.3. Waiver. 
 At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer or the Sellers may: 
 (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto; 
 (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant
hereto; or 
 (c) waive compliance for the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein; 
 provided, however, that any such waiver shall not in any way affect or serve as a waiver of any right such party may have to indemnification
related to any such inaccuracies pursuant to Article VII. Any such extension or waiver will be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. 
 ARTICLE IX

 Section 9.4. Severability. 
 If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy,
all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party
hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto
as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 
 Section 9.5. Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings with respect to the subject matter
hereof, both written and oral. 
 Section 9.6. Assignment. 
 This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party; provided,
however, that Buyer may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Buyer, provided such Person agrees in writing to be
bound by all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 9.7. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or
implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnitees and Seller
Indemnitees under Article VII hereof. 
 Section 9.8. Amendment; Waiver. 
 This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. Waiver
of any term or condition of this Agreement will only be effective if in writing and will not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.

 Section 9.9. Governing Law. 
 This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and performed entirely therein, without regard to the principles of
choice of Law or conflicts or Law of any other jurisdiction. 
  

 43 







 Section 9.10. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of a copy of this Agreement bearing an original signature by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in
“portable document format” form shall have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature. 
 Section 9.11. Restriction on Disclosure of Agreement Terms. 
 No
party hereto shall publicly disclose or announce the price being paid for the Company hereunder or the detailed terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than to such party’s employees, directors or advisors with a need to know such
information) without the other party’s prior consent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may make such disclosures regarding this Agreement, as it determines with the advice of its legal counsel, are
required under applicable Laws, Orders, inquiries or subpoenas of any court or governmental authority, and in that case such party will give the other parties prior notice of its intention to make such disclosure pursuant to this provision.

 Section 9.12. Dispute Resolution. 
 In the event of any dispute or disagreement between any Seller and Buyer as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement (or the
performance of obligations hereunder), the parties hereto shall promptly meet in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. Should such good faith effort fail to resolve the dispute and upon the written request of any Seller or Buyer, the dispute
shall be referred to the level of President or Senior Vice President within each party’s organization for decision. If the officers do not agree upon a decision within 30 days after reference of the matter to them, each of any Seller and Buyer
shall be free to pursue and exercise any and all legal rights and remedies available to them. The parties hereto shall be free to submit any unresolved dispute to any form of alternative dispute resolution they deem appropriate or, absent such
agreement, the dispute shall be submitted to the courts of Wilmington, Delaware, which forum, the parties hereto specifically agree, is a proper and convenient dispute resolution forum. 
 Section 9.13. Confidentiality and Publicity. 
 All information related to this Agreement, the indicative offer letter dated August 6, 2009, and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, as well as all other confidential and/or proprietary information relating to the Company, is hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information.” Except for disclosure (if any) required by any Law to which any
party hereto may be subject, the parties hereto agree to hold all Confidential Information in confidence unless and until information governed by this Section 9.13 becomes publicly known (other than by disclosure in breach of this
Section 9.13), in which case such information may be disclosed only to the extent such information has become publicly known. In the event that disclosure of Confidential Information is required by Law, the party required to disclose
Confidential Information shall give the other parties reasonable advance notice and take such

  

 44 







 
reasonable actions as the other parties may propose to minimize the required disclosure. No press release or public announcement or comment in response to inquiry related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be issued or made by any party hereto without the consultation of the other parties hereto. 
 Section 9.14. Sellers’ Representative. 
 Each Seller hereby appoints Vatche Artinian to serve
as their exclusive representative and agent (the “Sellers’ Representative”) for all purposes related to and arising under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Buyer may act, and shall be fully protected in
acting, in reliance upon any and all acts and things done and performed by or agreements made by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to the foregoing described matters on behalf of the Sellers as fully and effectively as though each had
done, performed, made or executed the same. Each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer for claims arising out of or related to Buyer’s reliance pursuant to this Section 9.14. 
 Section 9.15. Specific Performance. 
 Each Seller and the Company and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Seller and the Company and the Sellers’ Representative agrees that Buyer shall be entitled, subject to compliance with Section 9.12, to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction
over the parties hereto and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. 
 Section 9.16. Fraud. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
liability of any party hereto for fraud shall not be limited as set forth in this Agreement.
