                                       14

<PAGE>

          (b) Determination of Conclusive Net Working Capital. Seller will have
sixty (60) calendar days following the receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working
Capital Statement to review the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement.
During such time (and, in the case of clause (x) below, during the Resolution
Period, if applicable), (x) without limiting Section 6.5, Buyer shall give
Seller and its Representatives access to all books, records, facilities and
personnel of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Companies and the
Business) as reasonably necessary to undertake such review and (y) Seller may
dispute any items set forth on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement
(or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby). Unless Seller
delivers written notice(s) to Buyer of dispute thereof on or prior to the
sixtieth (60th) calendar day after Seller's receipt of the Post-Closing Net
Working Capital Statement, Seller will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to
the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and such statement will be final,
binding and conclusive. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing of disputed items
contained in the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific
calculations or methods contemplated thereby) within such sixty (60) calendar
day period, for thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such notice by
Seller to Buyer (the "Resolution Period"), Buyer and Seller shall attempt in
good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the disputed items (the
"Disputed Items"). Any resolution by Buyer and Seller during the Resolution
Period as to any Disputed Items shall be set forth in writing and will be final,
binding and conclusive. If Buyer and Seller do not resolve all Disputed Items by
the end of the Resolution Period, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute
will be submitted within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the
Resolution Period to a national independent accounting firm as is mutually
acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the "Neutral Arbitrator"). The Neutral
Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine only those Disputed Items
remaining in dispute as of the end of the Resolution Period. In resolving such
Disputed Items, the Neutral Arbitrator may not assign a value to any Disputed
Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either
Party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by either
Party upon presentment to the Neutral Arbitrator. All fees and expenses relating
to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Arbitrator will be allocated
between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the
Disputed Items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully
disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator)
bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted. In addition,
Buyer and Seller shall give the Neutral Arbitrator access to all books, records,
facilities and personnel of such Party as reasonably necessary to perform its
function as arbitrator. Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Neutral Arbitrator to deliver to Buyer and Seller a written
determination (such determination to include a work sheet setting forth all
material calculations and methods used in arriving at such determination) of the
Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar
days of receipt of such Disputed Items, which determination will be final,
binding and conclusive and upon which judgment may be entered. The final,
binding and conclusive Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement based either
upon agreement, deemed agreement by Buyer and Seller and/or the written
determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with this
Section 2.6(b) will be the "Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement."

          (c) Post-Closing Adjustment. If the amount of Net Working Capital on
the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement is less than Sixty-Eight Million
United States Dollars ($68,000,000) (the "Target Net Working Capital Amount"),
Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of


                                       15

<PAGE>

the difference no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on
which Buyer and Seller agree, or are deemed to have agreed to, or the Neutral
Arbitrator delivers, the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement. If the amount
of Net Working Capital on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement equals or
exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, no payment shall be made pursuant
to this Section 2.6.

     Section 2.7 Allocation. Seller and Buyer shall agree on the allocation of
the Purchase Price amongst the Target Shares within forty-five (45) calendar
days after the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file Tax
Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation.
Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns
or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do
so by applicable law.

Schedule or as are otherwise material and necessary and appropriate to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If a suit or other action is
threatened or instituted by any Governmental Entity challenging the validity or

any securities market or securities regulator in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the

Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours, and in a
manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal business operations

related to the Business as presently conducted; provided, however, that (i) any
requests for such access or furnishing of information shall be made only to

breach of any attorney/client privilege, or (x) providing such information or
access would reasonably be expected to result in violation of applicable law,

directly or indirectly (including as a stockholder, consultant, member or
partner) conduct the Business in North America or any other geographic region in
which the Companies have facilities as of the date hereof; provided, however,
that, for such purposes, no owner of less than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding stock or other equity or ownership interests of any Person and no
director (or other equivalent position on an equivalent governing body) of any
Person shall be deemed to be engaged in the business of such Person solely as a
result of holding such stock or such directorship. If a court of competent
jurisdiction declares in a final judgment that any term or provision of this
Section 6.6 is invalid or unenforceable, Buyer and Seller agree that the court
making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power
to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or
provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes
closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the
expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

     Section 6.7 Non-Solicitation of Employees. For a period of twenty-four (24)
months following the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall ensure that none of
its Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of any
Covered Employee as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date; provided,
however, that the foregoing provision shall not prevent Seller or any of its
respective Subsidiaries from (x) soliciting any such Covered Employee by a
public advertisement placed by it or by a search firm retained by it (provided
that the search firm was not instructed or encouraged to target or focus on such
Covered Employees) or hiring any Covered Employee responding thereto, or (y)
soliciting or hiring any Covered Employee whose employment with the Business was
terminated by the Buyer at least three (3) months earlier. If a court of
competent jurisdiction declares in a final judgment that any term or provision
of this Section 6.7 is invalid or unenforceable, Buyer and Seller agree that the
court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the
power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or
provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes
closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the
expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

     Section 6.8 Covered Employees.

          (a) Continued Employment. Buyer acknowledges that by purchasing the
Target Shares, it shall, through the Companies, employ all of the Covered
Employees employed by the Companies (including those individuals on leave) as of
the Closing Date; provided, however, that subject to law, this Section 6.8 shall
not require Buyer or the Companies to continue the employment of any Covered
Employee for any specified period after the Closing Date.

          (b) Compensation. For a period of twelve (12) months following the
Closing Date, Buyer shall provide, and shall cause the Companies to provide,
each Covered Employee, while employed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries
(including the Companies), with compensation and benefits that, in the
aggregate, are not materially less than his or her total compensation and
benefits (excluding, to the extent permissible by law, equity compensation,
defined benefit pension plans and retiree welfare benefits) immediately prior to
the Closing Date (or, as applicable, immediately prior to his or her Approved
Absence).

          (c) Service Credit. With respect to Buyer's employee benefit plans,
programs and arrangements covering or otherwise benefiting any of the Covered
Employees on or after the Closing Date (other than any non-qualified retirement
or deferred compensation plans or equity-based compensation plans), service with
the Companies shall be counted for purposes of eligibility to participate and
vesting, and in determining the level of benefits with respect to vacation and
severance, to the same extent such service was counted under the corresponding
employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements of Seller or the Companies
prior to the Closing Date.

          (d) Buyer Welfare Plans. With respect to any benefit plans of Buyer
providing welfare benefits of the type described in Section 3(1) of ERISA to
Covered Employees on and after the Closing Date, such plans shall, except to the
extent restricted by the insurance carriers, (i) grant credit for amounts paid
by the Covered Employees (including applicable deductibles, copays, annual
out-of-pocket limits or similar costs) under corresponding Company Plans or
Seller Plans during the portion of the applicable plan year preceding the
Closing Date and (ii) waive any pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of
insurability provisions, waiting period requirements or any similar provisions,
to the extent they were waived under corresponding Company Plans or Seller
Plans. For each month following the Closing Date and for the remainder of such
plan year, upon request by Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with information
regarding the amount of deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket limits or similar
costs incurred by each Covered Employee during the portion of the plan year
preceding such date.

          (e) Buyer DC Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall
cover, or cause the Companies to cover, Covered Employees under a defined
contribution plan and trust intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and (k)
and Section 501(a) of the Code (the "Buyer DC Plan"). Buyer shall cause the
Buyer DC Plan to permit Covered Employees to make a direct rollover of their
account balances under the Tecumseh Products Company Salaried Retirement Savings
Plan and any other similar Employee Benefit Plan. Seller and Buyer shall
reasonably cooperate in good faith to effect such transfers or distributions as
soon as practicable after the Closing Date.


                                       37

<PAGE>

          (f) Bonus Plans. On and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume all
of the duties and obligations of Seller and/or the Companies under the Tecumseh
Power Key Employee Performance Incentive Plan with respect to Covered Employees
who participate in either such plan and under the Transferred Plans that are
sponsored and maintained by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries other than the
Companies and shall continue or cause to be continued such Transferred Plans on
terms and conditions no less favorable to each Covered Employee than those in
effect on the Closing Date for the current year.

          (g) Transferred Plans. All Transferred Plans shall remain the
responsibility of and shall be operated by the Companies on and after the
Closing Date. All material Transferred Plans are set forth on Section 6.8(g) of
the Disclosure Schedule. Buyer shall assume all obligations pursuant to the
Transferred Plans as of the Closing.

          (h) Retained Plans and Liabilities. With respect to the Seller Plans
and all Company Plans that are not Transferred Plans, Seller shall retain all of
the duties and obligations under all such plans (the "Retained Plans"). For the
avoidance of doubt, neither Buyer nor any Company shall be responsible for any
payments to any agents, employees or Representatives of Seller or any Company,
including any Covered Employee, for change of control bonus, transaction bonus
or other similar payments as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Neither the Buyer nor, except as set forth on the Financial Statements, the
Companies shall have any Liability with respect to any of the Retained Plans.
Seller shall assume, indemnify and hold the Companies harmless from all
Liabilities associated with the Pre-Closing Employment Transfers, including any
obligations under the Grafton Union Contract, the Grafton Settlement Agreement,
other collective bargaining agreements and other union contracts, Company Plans,
severance or termination pay and applicable laws such as the WARN Act and
similar state laws.

          (i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 6.8
are for the benefit of the Parties only and shall not be construed to grant any
rights, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, to any Person who is not a
party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to
be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any Employee Benefit Plan, or otherwise
to limit the right of Seller, the Companies or any Subsidiary to amend, modify
or terminate any such Employee Benefit Plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
interpreted or construed to confer upon any employees any right with respect to
continuance of employment by the Companies or Buyer.

          (j) Transition Services Agreement. To the extent any benefits
contemplated by this Section 6.8 to be provided to Covered Employees by Buyer
are provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer's obligations
hereunder to provide any such benefit shall be satisfied by the provision of
such benefit through the Transition Services Agreement.

     Section 6.9 Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half of any
stamp, documentary, registration, transfer, added-value or similar Tax,
including any sales and transfer taxes, recording charges, and similar fees,
taxes or changes imposed on the actual or deemed sale and transfer of any real
property to Buyer (a "Transfer Tax"), imposed under applicable law in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to
prepare and timely file any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with
Transfer Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence.

          (b) Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date.

               (i) Seller shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking
into account any extensions received from the relevant tax authorities) of all
Tax Returns required by law to include the Target Companies, including in a
consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return filed by Seller or any Affiliate
(other than the Target Companies and their Subsidiary), with respect to any
taxable period ending prior to or including the Closing Date. All Taxes due and
payable with respect to such Tax Returns will be paid by Seller as and when
required by law.

               (ii) Buyer shall cause the Target Companies and their Subsidiary
to furnish Tax information to Seller for inclusion in any Tax Return described
in clause (i) above in accordance with the past custom and practice of the
Target Companies and their Subsidiary.

          (c) Tax Indemnification. Without regard to the limitations set forth
in clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 8.5, (i) Seller shall indemnify Buyer for
any additional Tax owed by Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries) (including Tax
owed by Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries) due to this indemnification payment)
resulting from any Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of any of Seller, the
Target Companies or any of their Subsidiaries for any period ending on or before
the Closing Date and the portion through the Closing Date for any taxable period
that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing Tax
Period"); and (ii) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any additional Tax owed by
Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) (including Tax owed by Seller (or any of its
Subsidiaries) due to this indemnification payment) resulting from (A) any
transaction engaged in by Buyer, the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries not
in the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of
the Target Shares or (B) any action taken by Buyer, or after Closing by any
Target Company or any Subsidiary of a Target Company, during or in respect of a
taxable year of Seller that precedes or includes the Closing Date not in the
Ordinary Course of Business, in each case that affects the amount, timing or
character to Seller and its Subsidiaries of any Tax item relating to the Target
Companies or their Subsidiaries.

          (d) Post-Closing Transactions Not in Ordinary Course. Buyer and Seller
shall report all transactions not in the Ordinary Course of Business relating to
the Target Companies or their Subsidiaries and occurring on the Closing Date
after Buyer's purchase of the Target Shares on Buyer's federal income Tax Return
to the extent permitted by Reg. Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

          (e) Cooperation. Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller (on behalf of its
Affiliates), on the other, agree, in each case to the extent reasonably
requested by the other Party and at no cost to the other party, to (i) furnish
to the other party in a timely manner information and documents for purposes of
preparing any original or amended Tax Returns and contesting or defending any
audit, (ii) cooperate in any audit, (iii) retain and provide on demand books,
records, documentation or other information relating to any Tax Return until the
expiration of the


                                       39

mitigation thereof); and (iv) take such action as such other party may deem
appropriate in connection therewith.

     Section 6.11 Insurance. Buyer acknowledges that, upon Closing, all
insurance coverage provided in relation to each Company and the Business that is
maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Companies) (whether such
policies are maintained with third party insurers or with Seller or its
Affiliates (other than the Companies)) shall cease to provide any coverage to
the Companies and the Business and no further coverage shall be available to any
Company or the Business as an Affiliate under any such policies.

     Section 6.12 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer and Seller each agrees that neither
Party intends to comply with the provisions of any bulk transfer laws of any
jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 6.13 Acknowledgements. Buyer acknowledges that, except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of Section 3.26,
neither Seller nor any other Person makes any representation or warranty,
express or implied, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any
information regarding any of Seller, the Business, the Companies, any of
Seller's other Affiliates, any of the assets or Liabilities of any of the
foregoing or any other matter. Without limiting any representation, warranty or
covenant of Seller expressly set forth herein, or Buyer's rights of access set
forth herein, Buyer acknowledges that it has waived and hereby waives as a
condition to Closing any further due diligence reviews, inspections or
examinations with respect to Seller, the Business, the Companies or any of their
respective assets or Liabilities or any other matter, including with respect to
engineering, environmental, title, survey, financial, operational, regulatory
and legal compliance matters.

on the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby

                                  ARTICLE VIII

and warranties of the Parties will survive the Closing and will remain in full

delivered by such anniversary) and upon which no further claim for
indemnification may be made with respect to breaches thereof; provided; however,
that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2,

     Section 8.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

          (a) If any third party shall notify any Buyer Indemnified Party or
Seller Indemnified Party (the "Indemnified Party") of any matter (a "Third Party
Claim") which may reasonably give rise to a claim for indemnification against
Seller or Buyer, respectively (the "Indemnifying Party"), pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten
(10) Business Days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim or the
commencement of Litigation with respect thereto) notify the Indemnifying Party
thereof in writing stating that the Third Party Claim may give rise to a claim
for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party and specifying the facts
constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of
the claim asserted; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the
extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

          (b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time to assume
the defense against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim so long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense actively and
diligently.

          (c) From and after the date that the Indemnifying Party has assumed
and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with
Section 8.4(b), (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its
sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim
(unless there are separate defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are
reasonably likely to be asserted by the Indemnified Party, in which case such
costs and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party); (B) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other and
their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or
settlement of any such Third Party Claim, including providing access to any
relevant books and records, properties and Representatives; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not require either Party to waive, or take any action
which has the affect of waiving, its attorney-client privilege with respect
thereto; (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement
involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does
not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party;
and (D) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

          (d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the
defense of the Third Party Claim after notice thereof within ninety (90)
calendar days of the notice of to the Indemnifying Party of the Third Party
Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4 (except to the extent


                                       44

<PAGE>

that a shorter period of time (not to be less than the greater of (x) twenty
(20) Business Days after such notice or (y) five (5) Business Days after notice
by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party that further delay would
unreasonably prejudice the Indemnified Party) is required so as to not prejudice
the Indemnified Party), (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third
Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the
Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (B) the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of
defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses) to the extent such costs are Damages for which the Indemnified
Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder; and (C) the
Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any costs the Indemnified Party
may incur resulting from the Third Party Claim to the extent such costs are
Damages for which the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification
hereunder.

     Section 8.5 Limitation on Indemnification; Calculation of Damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VIII:

          (a) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, respectively, for any claim for
indemnity in respect of Damages arising under Section 8.2(a) (other than with
respect to Sourced Engines Product Warranty Damages) or Section 8.3(a),
respectively, unless and until, and then only to the extent that, the total of
all such claims against Seller or Buyer, respectively, in respect of such
Damages exceeds one million five hundred thousand United States Dollars
($1,500,000) (the "Basket"), and in such event only to the amount of such
excess.

          (b) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from
Seller for any claim for indemnity in respect of Damages arising under (x)
Section 8.2(g) or (y) solely with respect to Sourced Engines Product Warranty
Damages, Section 8.2(a), in either case unless and until, and then only to the
extent that, the total of all such claims against Seller in respect of such
Damages exceeds two million two hundred thousand United States Dollars
($2,200,000) (the "Sourced Engines Special Basket"), and in such event (x) only
to the amount of such excess for such aggregate Damages up to $2,000,000 in
excess of the Sourced Engines Special Basket and (y) for aggregate Damages in
excess of the sum of $2,000,000 plus the Sourced Engines Special Basket, only to
the amount of fifty percent (50%) of such excess of such sum, except in either
case as may be limited by Section 8.5(d).

          (c) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, respectively, or count toward the
Basket, any claim for indemnity in respect of any individual Damage arising
under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), respectively, unless and until the claim
(or series of related claims) against Seller or Buyer, respectively, in respect
of such Damage exceeds fifty thousand United States Dollars ($50,000).

          (d) The Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties
shall not be entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, respectively, Damages
arising under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(g) or Section 8.3(a), respectively,
greater than three million, eight hundred and twenty-five thousand United States
Dollars ($3,825,000) in the aggregate (for avoidance of


                                       45

doubt, with respect to Buyer Indemnified Parties, to be determined when
considering Damages arising under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(g) on a combined
basis).

          (e) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than the
full amount of any Damage under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of
any such Damage.

          (f) The Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties
shall not be entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, respectively, Damages
that are punitive Damages or consequential, exemplary or special Damages.

          (g) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover
from Seller Damages reflected as a current Liability on the Conclusive Net
Working Capital Statement. This Section 8.5(g) shall not serve to limit the
recovery of claims for indemnification for Sourced Engines Product Warranty
Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(g).

          (h) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover
from Seller Damages arising out of any change in the use of an asset of the
Companies or the operation of the Business following the Closing.

          (i) The Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties
shall not be entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, respectively, Damages
arising under Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.3(b), respectively, that arise from
the breach of a covenant in the case of a covenant to be performed on or prior
to the Closing (other than Section 2.1), unless the claim for indemnity therefor
has been delivered by the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

          (j) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided
under this Article VIII shall be computed net of any third party insurance
proceeds and recoveries in respect of third party indemnification obligations
actually received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Damages. Each
Indemnified Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
recovery in respect of any Damages from any third party insurance or third party
indemnity which is available in respect of Damages. If an Indemnified Party
receives such insurance proceeds or indemnification recoveries in connection
with Damages for which it has been indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party
shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds or
indemnification recoveries when received, up to the amount for which
indemnification was paid hereunder.

          (k) Each Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate
any Damages in respect of which a claim could be made under this Article VIII.

          (l) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover
from Seller Damages with respect to any environmental investigation, monitoring,
clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or other corrective or response
action (each a "Response Action") unless such Response Action is required under
applicable Environmental Health and/or Safety Requirements and then only to the
extent such Response Action is reasonable, cost effective and employs and is in
accordance with risk-based remedial standards and institutional controls to the
extent allowed by Environmental Health and/or Safety Requirements, where such
standards or controls would not unreasonably interfere with industrial use at
the relevant property or facility.


                                       46

<PAGE>

Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as limiting the Buyer
Indemnified Parties from recovering from Seller for Response Actions necessary
to comply in a reasonably cost-effective manner with Environmental Health and/or
Safety Requirements. Seller shall either, at Seller's option, perform or cause
to be performed the Response Action, or shall authorize the Buyer Indemnified
Parties to perform such Response Action. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall
provide Seller with reasonable access to the relevant property or facility for
purposes of completing the Response Action and shall reasonably cooperate with
Seller in connection therewith, provided that Seller shall undertake diligent
efforts to prevent unreasonable interference with industrial operations upon the
relevant property or facility in connection with the Response Action. Seller
shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with
respect to any Response Action arising from (a) any conditions of contamination
identified through any environmental sampling or analysis, or (b) any report to
any governmental authority, in either case which is not required by
Environmental Health and/or Safety Requirements.

          (m) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided
under this Article VIII shall be computed net of any Tax benefit of the
Indemnified Party with respect to such indemnification based on the Indemnified
Party's Tax Liability for the taxable year in which it accrues the
indemnification payment, calculated on the basis of the facts and circumstances
actually pertaining to the Indemnified Party.

          Section 8.6 Claims and Payment; Treatment of Payments. On each
occasion that any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under
this Article VIII or Section 6.10(c), the Indemnifying Party shall, at each such
time, promptly pay the amount of such indemnification following the receipt of
notice of a claim therefor. All notices of claims for indemnification hereunder
by any Indemnified Party shall be made with reasonable particularity (including
the provisions hereunder on which such claim is based) and shall state the
amount of Damages sought thereunder. Any indemnification payments made pursuant
to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the
Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

          Section 8.7 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, other than
in the event of fraud or as provided in Section 6.10(c), the remedies set forth
in this Article VIII shall be the sole or exclusive remedy (including with
respect to any Environmental Liabilities) of the Indemnified Parties for Damages
arising out of a breach of any representations or warranties set forth in this
Agreement or any other Related Agreement (other than the License Agreement, the
Transition Services Agreement, the IP Assignment Agreement or any other Related
Agreement arising under any of the foregoing) or otherwise with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (a) Buyer and Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written
consent;

          (b) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
Seller:

               (i) if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the date that
is four (4) months from the date hereof (the "Outside Date"); provided, however,
that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall
not be available to Buyer if its failure to fulfill any obligation under this
Agreement (including its obligations set forth in Section 5.1) has been the
cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or
before the Outside Date; or

               (ii) if any event, circumstance, condition, fact or effect has
occurred or exists which (A) would result in a failure of a condition to Buyer's
obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in
Section 7.1 (unless the failure results primarily from Buyer itself breaching
any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement), and (B)
cannot reasonably be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that
Buyer shall have given Seller written notice, delivered at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to such termination stating its intention to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(ii) and the basis for such termination
with reasonable particularity and provided Seller with the opportunity to cure
any breach giving rise to the effects set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above
during such time;

          (c) Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
Buyer:

               (i) if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the Outside
Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 9.1(c)(i) shall not be available to Seller if its failure to fulfill any
obligation under this Agreement (including its obligations set forth in Section
5.1) has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have
occurred on or before the Outside Date; or

               (ii) if any event, circumstance, condition, fact or effect has
occurred or exists which (A) would result in a failure of a condition to
Seller's obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set
forth in Section 7.2 (unless the failure results primarily from Seller itself
breaching any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement),
and (B) cannot reasonably be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided, however,
that Seller shall have given Buyer written notice thereof, delivered at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to such termination stating its intention to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)(ii) and the basis for
such termination with reasonable particularity and provided Buyer with the
opportunity to cure any breach giving rise to the effects set forth in clauses
(A) and (B) above during such time.

     Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. If either Party terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall terminate upon such termination and shall become null and void
(except that Article I, Section 5.5, Section 5.7(c), Section 6.13, Article X and
this Section 9.2 shall survive any such termination) and no Party shall have any
Liability to the other Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing in this


                                       48

<PAGE>

Section 9.2 shall relieve either Party from Liability for any willful breach
occurring prior to any such termination of any of the representations and
warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 10.1 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party
will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. For avoidance of doubt, the letter agreement, dated September 13, 2007,
by and between Seller and Platinum Equity shall be of no further force and
effect as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and no amounts shall
be or become payable to Platinum Equity or any of its Representatives
thereunder.

     Section 10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Related Agreements
and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the
Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations
(whether written or oral) by or between the Parties, written or oral, with
respect to the subject matter hereof. For avoidance of doubt, the letter
agreement, dated October 13, 2007 and as extended on October 20, 2007, by and
between Seller and Platinum Equity shall be of no further force and effect as of
the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

     Section 10.4 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each

Agreement shall be construed as an implied amendment or agreement to amend or
modify any provision of this Agreement. No waiver by either Party of any
default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Party making such waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to
extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of
warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue
of any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or
covenant. No conditions, course of dealing or performance, understanding or
agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or
conditions of this Agreement shall be binding unless this Agreement is amended
or modified in writing pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.4
except as expressly provided herein. Except where a specific period for action
or inaction is provided herein, no delay on the part of either Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof.

upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or
any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written

liable for its obligations hereunder) assign its rights hereunder (i) to any of

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT

any state or federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware in any

and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Related
Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in, and any defense
of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any Litigation so brought and
waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other
Party with respect thereto. Either Party may make service on the other Party by
sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the
address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.6;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.8 shall affect the right of

jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be
limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary so that this

covenants contained in this Agreement if and to the extent that such fact or
combination of facts or circumstance has been disclosed in any section of the
Disclosure Schedule in a manner sufficient to put a reasonable person on notice
of the relevance of the fact or combination of facts or circumstance so
disclosed. The inclusion of any item in any section of the Disclosure Schedule
(i) does not constitute an admission by Seller, or to otherwise imply, that any
such matter is material, is required to be disclosed under this Agreement or
falls within relevant minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in
this Agreement and (ii) does not represent a determination by Seller that such
item did not arise in the Ordinary Course of Business. In no event shall any
matter in the Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope
of the Seller's representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth in this
Agreement or any condition to the obligations of either Party to consummate any
transaction contemplated hereby. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule of a
possible breach or violation of any Contract or law shall be construed as a
representation or admission that such breach or violation has occurred or
exists. The information and disclosures contained in each section of the
Disclosure Schedule (but not in the agreements or other documents listed or
described on the Disclosure Schedules, or incorporated by reference therein,
unless further information upon which relevance can be determined is provided)
shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other
section of the Disclosure Schedule to which the applicability of such disclosure
is reasonably apparent as though fully set forth in such other section. All
attachments to the Disclosure Schedule are incorporated by reference into the
Disclosure Schedule. The information contained in the Disclosure Schedule is in
all events provided to Buyer subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

     Section 10.15 Headings; Table of Contents. The section headings and the
