Closing, the Sellers will (i) sell and transfer to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser will purchase and acquire from the Sellers, all of the Shares, free
and clear of any Encumbrances and (ii) cause Labinal to transfer the MX Minority
Shares to the Designee.




Section

of this Agreement will be the "Purchase
Price".

Section
2.3 Purchase Price
Adjustment.




(a)  
 Closing Date Purchase Price
Adjustment.




(i)           Estimated Net Working
Capital.Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, the Sellers will provide the Purchaser with (A) an estimated, consolidated
balance sheet of Cinch U.S. as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the
"Cinch U.S. Estimated
Closing Balance Sheet"),(B) an estimated balance sheet of Cinch U.K. as
of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "CinchU.K. Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet"and, together with the Cinch U.S. Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet, the "Estimated Seller Closing
Balance Sheets"),(C) the Sellers' calculations of the Net Working
Capital of Cinch U.S. based on the Cinch U.S. Estimated Closing Balance Sheet
(the "Cinch U.S.
Estimated Net Working Capital"),and (D) the Sellers' calculations of the
Net Working Capital of Cinch U.K. based on the Cinch U.K. Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet (the "Cinch U.K. Estimated Net
Working Capital"and, consolidated with the Cinch U.S. Estimated Net
Working Capital, the "Seller EstimatedClosing Net
Working Capital").




(ii)           Estimated Net Cash.Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers
will provide to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Net Cash as of the
Closing Date, which will be calculated in accordance with the definition of Net
Cash (such estimate, the "Estimated Net Cash").To the extent Estimated Net Cash is positive (i.e., Cash of the Acquired
Companies exceeds the Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies) such amount will
be added to the Purchase Price paid at the Closing. To the extent Estimated Net
Cash is negative (i.e., Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies exceeds Cash of
the Acquired Companies) such amount will be deducted from the Purchase Price
paid at the Closing.




(iii)          Target Working Capital.If the Seller Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than Target
Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price payable at Closing will be
decreased by the difference between Seller Estimated Closing Net Working Capital
and Target Net Working Capital. If the Seller Estimated Closing Net Working
Capital is greater than Target Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price
payable at Closing will be increased by the difference between Seller Estimated
Closing Net Working Capital and Target Net Working Capital. The Target Net
Working Capital will be $7,143,000 (the "Target Net Working
Capital").




(iv)          The
Cinch U.S. Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, Cinch U.K. Estimated Closing Balance
Sheet and calculations of Cinch U.S. Estimated Net Working Capital, Cinch U.K.
Estimated Net Working Capital and Estimated Net Cash, will each be prepared in
accordance with the Accounting Methodologies.


-15-




(v) All
adjustments to the Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii)will be netted against all adjustments to the Purchase Price payable at
Closing pursuant to Section
2.3(a)(iii).




(b)          
Post-Closing Date Purchase
Price Adjustment.




(i)
Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver
to the Sellers (A) a consolidated balance sheet of Cinch U.S., audited by the
Purchaser's accountants, as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the
"U.S. Purchaser Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet"),(B) a balance sheet of Cinch U.K., audited by the
Purchaser's accountants, as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the
"U.K. Purchaser Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet"and, together with the U.S. Purchaser Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet, the "Purchaser Estimated Closing
Balance Sheets"),(C) the Purchaser's calculations of the Net Working
Capital of Cinch U.S. based on the U.S. Purchaser Estimated Closing Balance
Sheet (the "U.S. Purchaser Estimated NetWorking
Capital"),(D) the Purchaser's calculations of the Net Working Capital of
Cinch U.K. based on the U.K. Purchaser Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the
"U.K. Purchaser Estimated Net
Working Capitaland, consolidated with the U.S. Purchaser Estimated Net
Working Capital, the "Purchaser Estimated Closing
Net Working Capital"),and (E) the Purchaser's calculation of Net Cash
(the "Purchaser
Estimated Closing Net Cash").




(ii) The
U.S. Purchaser Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the U.K. Purchaser Estimated
Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of U.S. Purchaser Estimated Net
Working Capital, U.K. Purchaser Estimated Net Working Capital and Purchaser
Estimated Closing Net Cash will each be prepared in accordance with Accounting
Methodologies.




(iii) The
Sellers will have thirty (30) days from the date of their receipt to review the
Purchaser Estimated Closing Balance Sheets and to respond to the Purchaser
pursuant to Section
2.3(b)(iv)below. During the Sellers' review of the Purchaser Estimated
Closing Balance Sheets, the Purchaser will, and will cause each of the Acquired
Companies to, (A) provide the Sellers and the Sellers' representatives with
reasonable access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies, and (B)
reasonably cooperate with the Sellers and the Sellers' representatives,
including by providing on a timely basis all information reasonably necessary in
reviewing the Purchaser Estimated Closing Balance Sheets.




(iv)
Within thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of the Purchaser Estimated
Closing Net Working Capital and/or Purchaser Estimated Closing Net Cash
(collectively, the "Estimated Closing
Calculations")the Sellers will either:




(A)           agree
in writing with the Estimated Closing Calculations, in which case the Estimated
Closing Calculations, will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of
Section 2.3(b)(viii);or




(B)           dispute
any or all of the Estimated Closing Calculations, by delivering to the Purchaser
a written notice (a "Dispute Notice")setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for, and an itemized alternative calculation of, each such
disputed item.




-16-




(v)          If
the Sellers fail to take either of the actions set forth in Section2.3(b)(iv)(A)or
Section 2.3(b)(iv)(B)within thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of the Purchaser
Estimated Closing Balance Sheets, then the Sellers will be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted the Estimated Closing Calculations, in which case, the
Estimated Closing Calculations, will be final and binding on the parties for
purposes of Section
2.3(b)(viii).




(vi)         If
the Sellers timely deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser
and the Sellers will attempt in good faith, for a period of thirty (30) days, to
agree on any changes to the Estimated Closing Calculations for purposes of Section2.3(b)(viii).Any
resolution by the Purchaser and the Sellers during such thirty (30)-day period
as to any disputed items will be final and binding on the parties for purposes
of Section
2.3(b)(viii).If the Purchaser and the Sellers do not resolve all
disputed items by the end of thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the
Dispute Notice, then the Purchaser and the Sellers will submit the remaining
items in dispute to KPMG, LLP, for resolution, or if that firm is unwilling or
unable to serve, the Purchaser and the Sellers will engage another mutually
agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized international standing,
which firm is not the regular auditing firm of the Purchaser or the Acquired
Companies. If the Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to jointly select such
independent accounting firm within ten (10) days after such thirty (30)-day
period, the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, will
each select an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing
and such selected accounting firms will select a third independent accounting
firm of recognized international standing, which firm is not the regular
auditing firm of the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies; provided, however,that if either the Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the
other hand, fail to select such independent accounting firm during this ten
(10)-day period, then the parties agree that the independent accounting firm
selected by the other party will be the independent accounting firm selected by
the parties for purposes of this Section 2.3(b)(vi)(such selected independent accounting firm, whether pursuant to this
sentence or the preceding sentence, the "Independent Accounting
Firm").The Independent Accounting Firm will act as an expert in
accounting and not as an arbitrator and will render its determination on a basis
in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies. The Independent Accounting Firm
will only render its determination with respect to the specific remaining
accounting differences submitted to it and in no event will its determination as
to an item in dispute be less than the lowest amount for such item proposed by
the Purchaser or the Sellers nor greater than the highest amount for such item
proposed by the Purchaser or the Sellers. The Purchaser and the Sellers will
instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with
respect to the items in dispute in a written report that specifies the
conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each item in dispute
relating to the Estimated Closing Calculations. The Purchaser and the Sellers
will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent
Accounting Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) days after
referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably
practicable. The Independent Accounting Firm's determination of any adjustments
to the Estimated
Closing Calculations as set forth in its report will be final and binding on the
parties for purposes of Section 2.3(b).The
fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be shared by the
Purchaser and the Sellers in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the
items in dispute determined to be for the account of Purchaser and the Sellers,
respectively. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to
$1,000 and the Independent Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Sellers'
position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by the
Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Sellers.
For purposes of this Section 2.3(b),the
"items in dispute" will be measured by the difference between the amount claimed
by the Sellers to equal the Net Working Capital and/or Net Cash, as applicable,
as of the Closing Date and the amount claimed by the Purchaser to equal the Net
Working Capital and/or Net Cash, as applicable, as of the Closing Date, in each
case as determined as of the date that such matter is first submitted by the
parties to the Independent Accounting Firm.




-17-




(vii)        For
purposes of complying with this Section 2.3(b),the
Purchaser and the Sellers will furnish to each other and to the Independent
Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to
the disputed items as the Independent Accounting  may request and are
available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and will be
afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any
material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the
Independent Accounting Firm, any such discussion to be in the presence of all
parties to the dispute.




(viii)       The
final amounts of (A) the Net Working Capital of Cinch U.S. (the "Final U.S. Closing Net
Working Capital")and the Net Working Capital of Cinch U.K. (the "Final U.K. Closing Net
Working Capital"),and (B) the Net Cash (the "FinalClosing Net Cash"),will be as set forth in the Estimated Closing Calculations, as finally
determined by this Section 2.3(b).The
sum of the finally determined amounts of the Final U.S. Closing Net Working
Capital and the Final U.K. Closing Net Working Capital will constitute the "Final Aggregate Closing Net
Working Capital Amount".




(ix)          Upon
the final determination of the Final Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital
Amount: (i) if the Final Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital Amount is less
than Seller Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price will be
decreased by the excess of Seller Estimated Closing Net Working Capital over the
Final Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital Amount and the Sellers will promptly
pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference; or (ii) if the Final
Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital Amount is greater than Seller Estimated
Closing Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price will be increased by the excess
of Final Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital Amount over the Seller Estimated
Closing Net Working Capital and the Purchaser will promptly pay to the Sellers
the amount of such difference.




(x)           Upon
the final determination of the Final Closing Net Cash: (i) if the Final Closing
Net Cash is less than the Estimated Net Cash, the Sellers will promptly pay to
the Purchaser the amount of such difference; or (ii) if the Final Closing Net
Cash is
greater than the Estimated Net Cash, the Purchaser will promptly pay to the
Sellers the amount of such difference.




-18-




(xi) For
purposes of this Section 2.3,it is
agreed that the aggregate value of the Inventory used for purposes of each
respective Net Working Capital calculation to be made under this Section 2.3will be
deemed as follows:




(A)           if
the value attributable to Inventory (as determined for purposes of each
respective Net Working Capital calculation to be made under this Section 2.3,before
giving effect to this Section 2.3(xi),the
"AggregateInventory
Value")is greater than or equal to $6,554,000 but less than or equal to
$6,854,000, then the value of the Inventory used to calculate the Net Working
Capital will be deemed to be $6,704,000.




(B)           if
the Aggregate Inventory Value is greater than $6,854,000 but less than
$7,354,000, then the value of the Inventory used to calculate the Net Working
Capital will be equal to the difference that results from subtracting $150,000
from the Aggregate Inventory Value.




(C)           if
the Aggregate Inventory Value is greater than $7,354,000, then the value of the
Inventory used to calculate the Net Working Capital will be deemed to be
$7,204,000.




(D)           if
the Aggregate Inventory Value is less than $6,554,000, then the value of the
Inventory used to calculate the Net Working Capital will be equal to the sum
that results from adding $150,000 to the Aggregate Inventory Value.




(E)           for
purposes of determining the Aggregate Inventory Value, no value will be
attributed to any Inventory held for sale to IBM pursuant to Contracts in place
as of the date of this Agreement.




(xii) All
adjustments to the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section2.3(b)(ix)will be
netted against all adjustments to the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section
2.3(b)(x).




(xiii)
Any payment to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(b)will
be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Sellers to
an account designated in writing by the Purchaser. Any payment to the Sellers
pursuant to Section2.3(b)will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the
Purchaser to an account designated in writing by the Sellers. Such payments will
be made within ten (10) Business Days following the final determination of the
Final Aggregate Closing Net Working Capital Amount and/or Final Closing Net Cash
in accordance with this Section
2.3.




-19-




(c) The
purpose of this Section 2.3is to
determine the final Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchaser under this
Agreement. Accordingly, any adjustment pursuant hereto will neither be deemed to
be an indemnification pursuant to the Indemnification Articles, nor preclude
the Purchaser from exercising any indemnification rights pursuant to the
Indemnification Articles; provided, however,that in no event will the Sellers be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser
Indemnified Party for any Loss as a result of, or based upon or arising from,
any Liability, to the extent, and only to the extent that, such Liability is
reflected in the calculation of the Final U.S. Closing Net Working Capital,
Final U.K. Closing Net Working Capital, Final U.S. Closing Net Cash and/or Final
U.K. Closing Net Cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3.Any
payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3will be
treated by the parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price
and will not be subject to offset for any reason.




Section
2.4        Closing.




(a)       The
closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing")will take
place, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than the fifth (5th)
Business Day immediately following the Determination Date, at the offices of
Lowenstein Sandler PC, 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020 at

the Purchaser may agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually

(b)       The
"Determination Date"will mean the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article 6have been
satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature can only
be satisfied at the Closing); provided, however,if
such date occurs after the 15th day of
any calendar month on or after February 1, 2010, then the Determination Date
will mean the later of the date on which: (i) the last of the conditions set
forth in Article 6have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their
nature can only be satisfied at the Closing) and (ii) the Sellers deliver to the
Purchaser the written calculation of the Aggregate Revenues for the full

-22-




(b)
Any payments made to the Purchaser (or by Seller U.S., and not reimbursed by the
Purchaser, as the case may be) pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7will be
deemed reductions of the Purchase Price. Accordingly, any adjustment pursuant
hereto will neither be deemed to be an indemnification pursuant to the
Indemnification Articles, nor preclude the Purchaser from exercising any
indemnification rights pursuant to the Indemnification Articles. Any payment
made pursuant to this Section 2.7will be
treated by the parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price

businesses of the Acquired Companies, in any such case, that in the aggregate

any, that such filings are necessary) including with respect to the party making
a filing, (A) providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and
its advisors prior to filing (other than documents containing confidential
business information that will be shared only with outside legal counsel to the
non-filing party) and (B) if requested, accepting all reasonable additions,
deletions or changes suggested in connection with any such filing; (ii)

meeting or discussion with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection
with Proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws,
if applicable, unless it consults with the other party in advance, and, to the
extent permitted by such Governmental Antitrust Authority, gives the other party
the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings or discussions; and
(vi) consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with any
analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and
proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of either party to this Agreement in

Antitrust Laws, if applicable. If either party or any Affiliate thereof receives
a request for additional information or documentary material from any such
Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause
to be made, as soon as practicable and after consultation with the other party,
an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Each party will advise
the other parties promptly in respect of any understandings, undertakings or
agreements (oral or written) which such party proposes to make or enter into

Section
5.4 Supplements to
Disclosure Schedules.The Sellers may, from time to time prior to the
Closing by written notice to the Purchaser, supplement the Seller Disclosure
Schedule or add a schedule to the Seller Disclosure Schedule (such added
schedule to be deemed a supplement hereunder) in order to disclose any matter
which, if occurring prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been
required to be set forth or described in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or to
correct any inaccuracy or breach in the representations and warranties made by
the Sellers in this Agreement. Subject to this Section 5.4,none of
such supplements to the Seller Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to cure the
representations and warranties to which such matters relate with respect to

otherwise affect any other term or condition contained in this Agreement; provided, however,that unless the Purchaser will have delivered a notice of termination
with respect to such matter as contemplated by Section 7.1(b)(to
the extent the Purchaser is entitled to deliver such notice pursuant to Section 7.1(b))within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt by the Purchaser of any
supplement to the Seller Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.4,then the

under this Agreement are not conditioned in any manner whatsoever upon the
Purchaser's obtaining any financing and any failure to fulfill any obligation
under this Agreement arising from the failure of the Purchaser to obtain
financing or the unavailability of such financing will be deemed to be
intentional for purposes of this Agreement.

Section
5.6            Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.




(a)           The
parties agree to continue to abide by that certain Confidentiality Agreement
between the Sellers and the Purchaser dated May 20, 2009 (the "ConfidentialityAgreement"),which will survive until the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality
Agreement will terminate; provided, however,that if this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the
Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms.




(b)           After
the Closing, the Sellers will not and will cause their directors, officers,

employees, agents and advisors to the extent reasonably required to facilitate
the negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements, (ii) to any Governmental Authority or arbitrator to the
extent reasonably required in connection with any Proceeding relating to the
enforcement of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) in connection
with its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, including the defense

fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software,
marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other

corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, engaged in the
manufacture and sale of interconnect products competing with the Products for

or any of their Affiliates will not be prevented from:




(i) being the holder or beneficial
owner by way of bona fideinvestment purposes only of any units
of an authorized unit trust and/or any securities inany company carrying on any Competing
Business which are listed or traded on anyrecognized stock exchange, regulated

Business")if the Acquired Competing Business represents not more than
twenty percent (20%) of the Acquired Business (measured in terms of turnover in
its last accounting year) (a "Less Than 20% Acquired
CompetingBusiness");provided,
however, that if the Sellers or any of their Affiliates acquires during the
Non-Compete Period an Acquired Business with a Less Than 20% Acquired Competing
Business, then the Sellers or their Affiliates, as applicable, will enter into
good faith negotiations with the Purchaser regarding the sale to the Purchaser
of such Less Than 20% Acquired Competing Business (it being agreed and

a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, the Sellers will not,
and will cause their directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to,
directly or indirectly hire, solicit or assist others in soliciting the
employment of any of the Employees of the Acquired Companies; provided, however,nothing in this Agreement will prohibit or limit (i) Sellers from making

or limit the Sellers from hiring any individuals who respond to such
solicitations.




(e)           The
covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 5.6relate to
matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a
violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.6will
cause irreparable injury to the Purchaser, the amount of which will be
impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.
Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.6will be

parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines
that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified
business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 5.6is
unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time,
geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is
determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public
policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

the extent known to the Indemnified Party, accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation submitted by such third party (to the extent then in the

notice of the commencement of any Proceeding relating to such Third Party Claim;
provided, however,that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so

8.3,the Indemnifying

Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The partieshereto agree to provide reasonable access to the other to such documents

any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party; provided,

otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim or if the Indemnifying Party fails to
provide notice within ninety (90) days of the Indemnifying Party's receipt of
the Third Party Claim related thereto that it intends to defend against,

the Closing occurs, the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties
from and against any and all Losses of a Seller Indemnified Party (i) for all

pro-rata portion of such Taxes to each day in the relevant Straddle
Period.

(d)      The
Sellers will not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for
reductions in any Tax Attributes. The Sellers will not be required to indemnify
the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against Losses for Taxes attributable to the

Companies for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date with
respect to such Acquired Companies and all consolidated, combined, unitary or
similar group Tax Returns with respect to periods that include the Closing Date
and that include an Acquired Company for such period but with respect to which
an Acquired Company does not have primary responsibility for filing. Such Tax
Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with Sellers' past practice in
respect of the Acquired Companies. The Sellers will remit any Tax Returns to the

date (including extensions) of such Tax Returns for their review and approval
(not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) not later than thirty (30) Business
Days before the applicable due date of such Tax Returns. If, upon expiration of
the Purchaser's period of review set forth in the preceding sentence, the
parties disagree as to any item for which Purchaser's approval is required, the
parties will promptly submit the item to a mutually acceptable internationally
recognized accounting or law firm for final resolution, such resolution to be
completed (where possible) five (5) days prior to the applicable due date
(including extensions) for filing such Tax Return. The determination of such
accounting or law firm will be binding upon the parties. The Sellers will timely
pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to any Taxes for which the Sellers are
liable pursuant to Section 9.1(but
which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed by the Purchaser). With respect
to Tax Returns described in this Section 9.2(a),and
subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2,the
Purchaser will cooperate with the Sellers in filing such Tax Returns, including
causing the Acquired Companies to sign and file such Tax Returns, provided that
such cooperation will not include the taking, or causing to be taken, any action
inconsistent with, or in violation of, Law. With respect to any net refunds and
credits attributable to the payment of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Period and for
any portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be for the
account of Seller, and the Purchaser will promptly pay to Seller any such refund
or credit; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be under no obligation
pursue or seek any such refunds or credits.


-74-




(b)      With
respect to Tax Returns in respect of taxable years or periods beginning before
the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare
and file or cause to be prepared and filed such Tax Returns. The Purchaser will
remit any such Tax Returns to the Sellers not later than forty-five (45)
Business Days before the applicable due date (including extensions) of such Tax
Returns for their review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) not later than thirty (30) Business Days before the applicable due date
of such Tax Returns. If, upon expiration of the Sellers' period of review set
forth in the preceding sentence, the parties disagree as to any item for which
Sellers' approval is required, the parties will promptly submit the item to a
mutually acceptable internationally recognized accounting or law firm for final
resolution, such resolution to be completed (where possible) five (5) days prior
to the applicable due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return.
The determination of such accounting or law firm will be binding upon the
parties. The Sellers will timely pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to any
Taxes for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 9.1(but
which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed by the Purchaser). With respect
to Tax Returns described in this Section 9.2(b),and
subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2,the
Sellers will cooperate with the Purchaser in filing such Tax Returns, including
causing the Acquired Companies to sign and file such Tax Returns, provided that
such cooperation will not include the taking, or causing to be taken, any action
inconsistent with, or in violation of, Law. With respect to any net refunds and
credits attributable to the payment of Taxes for a Post-Closing Period and for
any portion of a Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date will be for the
account of Purchaser, and Sellers will promptly pay to Purchaser any such refund
or credit; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be under no obligation
pursue or seek any such refunds or credits.




(c)       Without
limitation of the obligation to make payment by the due date, in the event that
the Sellers or the Purchaser are liable under this Agreement for any Taxes paid
by the other party with respect to any Tax Return, prompt reimbursement will be
made.


-75-




(d)      Each
of the Purchaser and the Sellers will promptly notify the other in writing upon
receipt of notice of any pending or threatened audits or assessments with
respect to Taxes for which such other party (or any such other party's
Affiliates) may be liable under this Agreement. If the Purchaser receives notice
of a Tax Contest with respect to any Acquired Company which could reasonably be
expected to cause the Sellers to have an indemnification obligation under this
Article 9,then
the Purchaser will promptly notify the Sellers in writing of such Tax Contest
after receiving such notice. Subject to the Sellers indemnifying the Purchaser
against all Losses which may thereby be incurred, the Purchaser will and will
procure that any relevant Acquired Company will take such action to resist,
avoid, dispute, appeal or defend such Tax Contest as the Sellers may reasonably
request, provided that the Purchaser will not be required to take or procure the
taking of action which involves agreeing to the settlement or compromise of the
Tax Contest or any proposal for the same which is likely to increase the amount
of Taxes involved or the future liability to Taxes of any Purchaser Affiliate.
If the Sellers fail to make such request within thirty (30) Business Days of
receipt of notification of the Tax Contest from the Purchaser or indicate that
they do not wish any such action to be taken, the Purchaser will be free to pay
or settle the Tax Contest or take such other action in connection therewith as
it may in its absolute discretion decide. If they so request in writing, the
Sellers will have the right, at their own expense, to control the conduct of
such Tax Contest; provided,however,that, in
such case, the Sellers (i) will obtain the prior written consent of the
Purchaser to the appointment of any professional advisers (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) will keep the Purchaser fully and
promptly informed of all matters pertaining to a Tax Contest and provide the
Purchaser with all correspondence and notes or other written records of
telephone conversations or meetings; (iii) will submit to the Purchaser in draft
all material written communications pertaining to a Tax Contest for its approval
and will only transmit such communications if such approval is given (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iv) will not make any
settlement or compromise of the Tax Contest or agree any matter in the conduct
of the Tax Contest which is likely to affect the amount of any Taxes subject of
the Tax Contest or the future liability to Taxes of any Purchaser Affiliate
without the approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).




(e)       To
the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 9.2,the
procedures of Article
8will apply in the case of any claim for Losses related to
Taxes.




Section
9.3         Section 338

(a) Seller U.S. and Purchaser will join
in making an election under Section338(h)(10) of the Code (and any

EXHIBIT -

1.3
Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 1.1 above, subject to Section 8.1
below, Labinal may elect to purchase certain part numbers of the Product from a
different source other than Cinch in the event that (i) any of the below events
occur and (ii) solely in the case of Section 1.3.3 or 1.3.4, are continuing for
a period of thirty (30) days after Cinch is provided with notice of Labinal's
intent to purchase certain part numbers of the Product from a different source

1.3.1
Cinch is no longer qualified by Boeing to manufacture and sell such part
numbers; provided,
however,that (i) Labinal shall advise Cinch in writing within five (5)
days of becoming aware that Cinch is so no longer qualified, (ii) Labinal shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade Boeing to so qualify Cinch
to manufacture and sell such part numbers, and (iii) Labinal shall cooperate and

(VECP's). These proposals may include proposed changes to drawings, designs,
specifications, or other requirements, provided that such changes do not impair
any essential functions or characteristics of the Products, that (1) decrease
Cinch's performance costs or (2) produce a net reduction in the cost to Labinal
of installations, operation, maintenance or production of the
Product.


-2-

Proposals
shall be submitted to Labinal's purchasing representative, however, Labinal

the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any proposal not accepted by Labinal
within the time period specified in the proposal. Cinch shall submit, as a
minimum, the following information with the proposal:

      specific requirements which must be changed if the proposal is adopted;

costs.

reduction.

written.
