shall be permitted to make extracts and copies from the financial, accounting and other books and records of Seller and the Related Entities in connection with conducting such due diligence. 
 (b) Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Buyer Parties have performed certain Phase I environmental assessments and Phase II environmental

Buyer Parties and their respective employees, agents and independent contractors shall have the right in their sole discretion to review the proposed scope of work for the site characterization activities and propose reasonable changes thereto which

jurisdiction over the Real Property to discuss environmental conditions at the Real Property; provided that either (i) Seller’s representatives shall be present at any such meeting with any Governmental Authority (but with the Buyer
Parties leading any discussions therewith); or (ii) the Buyer Parties may meet with such Governmental Authority without Seller’s representatives being present if the Buyer Parties have agreed prior to such meeting to assume all costs and
expenses for environmental remediation with respect to such Real Property in excess of the maximum liability to Seller set forth in Section 5.10(f).

acquired corporation, any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any material amount of the Purchased Assets or the assets of any Related Entity other than the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (B) facilitate, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Transaction, (C) furnish or cause
to be furnished, to any Person, any information concerning the Purchased Assets in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, or (D) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or

 (b) Seller shall (and shall cause its Representatives to)

confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which Seller is a party. 
  

 50 








 Section 5.7 Notification; Disclosed Matters; Indemnification. Beginning on the date
that is thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, continuing every ten (10) days thereafter and ending on the Closing Date (but with a Disclosure Report (as defined below) filed two Business days prior to Closing Date) (even
if less than 10 days has elapsed since the date of the previous Disclosure Report), Seller shall disclose in writing (each, a “Disclosure Report”) to the Buyer Parties any matter arising after the date of this Agreement during the
period covered by a Disclosure Report and known to Seller which would render inaccurate any of the representations, warranties or statements set forth in Article 3 if any of those representations, warranties or statements were made as of
the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event Seller fails, despite its good faith efforts, to disclose any matter in a Disclosure Report that occurred or arose during the time period covered by such Disclosure Report, Seller shall promptly
disclose such matter to the Buyer Parties. No information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall affect or diminish the representations or warranties or statements of Seller, the covenants or agreements of Seller, the
conditions to the Buyer Parties’ obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the right of a Buyer Party to terminate this Agreement, in each case as provided herein. 
 Section 5.8 Nontransferability of Assets. 
 (a) To the extent that any Purchased Asset is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred, delivered, granted or conveyed or any Assumed Liability is not capable of being assumed, all as contemplated
herein (each, an “Asset/Liability Transfer”), without the Consent of any Person (other than Seller, a Buyer Party or an Affiliate of Seller or a Buyer Party), including any Governmental Authority, or if such Asset/Liability Transfer
or attempted Asset/Liability Transfer would be invalid, would destroy or would eliminate any Purchased Asset or would constitute a breach of any Assigned Contract or a violation of any Law, (i) this Agreement shall not constitute a sale,
assignment, transfer, delivery, grant, conveyance or assumption thereof, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, delivery, grant, conveyance or assumption thereof, in the absence of such Consent, and (ii) Seller shall, to the extent
practicable, take all reasonable, lawful and appropriate steps to provide Buyer (or its Affiliate) the respective benefits and burdens of any such sale, assignment, transfer, delivery, conveyance, grant or assumption in accordance with the terms
hereof and the other applicable Transaction Documents. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any such Consent. 
 (b) Each
Party undertakes to cooperate in good faith to ensure that it does such acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to complete the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, including securing as promptly as
practicable all Consents required to assign any Assigned Contracts, and each Party, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates, shall execute such Consents or other documents as may be necessary. At all times after the date hereof, the
Parties shall do such acts and things as may be reasonably required for the purpose of giving to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof and the other applicable Transaction Documents the benefit and burden of the Purchased Assets and the 

  

 51 








 
Assumed Liabilities, including using reasonable efforts in order to obtain the Consent of any necessary third party to such documents and do such acts and
things as may be reasonably required for such purpose. Each Party shall be responsible for all costs incurred by it in connection with or otherwise relating to obtaining a Consent for any Asset/Liability Transfer; provided, that, no Party shall be
required to pay any amounts required by a third party in order for such party to provide a Consent. 
 Section 5.9 Employee
Benefits Plans. 
 (a) Prior to Closing, Seller will make its and the Related Entities’ 2008 employer contributions to the
401(k) Benefit Plan (match and profit sharing). In addition, as soon as practicable after Closing, Seller shall amend such plan to provide for matching contributions on 2009 employee deferrals attributable to compensation earned through the Closing,
without regard to hours worked during such period and shall make such contribution not later than 10 days following Closing. 
 (b)
Prior to Closing, Seller shall amend such 401(k) Benefit Plan as necessary to vest all Employees who incur a termination of employment as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as of the Closing Date, freeze
participation by the Related Entities. 
 (c) Prior to Closing, Seller will initiate a procedure acceptable to Buyer to correct all
defects in such 401(k) Benefit Plan that affect its qualified status to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, and indemnify Buyer and the Related Entities after the Closing for any penalties, fines or costs (including attorney fees) relating to
disqualification of the 401(k) Benefit Plan or to any correction necessary or appropriate to maintain and assure the qualified status of such plan, including, but not limited to, correcting discrimination testing failures, plan document failures,
plan investment performance and distribution issues and liability, and any other qualification defects reasonably indentified by Buyer. Such indemnity amount shall be paid without regard to any deductible as set forth in Article VIII. After such
correction, Seller, at the request of Buyer, shall cause such plan to spin off the portions of the plan into a qualified plan consisting of the assets and liabilities relating to BWW and BTR Employees, respectively, in accordance with procedures
agreed upon by the Parties (including valuation of assets). 
 (d) On or prior to Closing, Seller shall pay and shall cause the
Related Entities to pay, all bonuses owed or accrued to Employees.

actions to address the matters set forth in Schedule 5.10 relating to the compliance issues identified in the Phase I environmental site assessments conducted at the Real Properties (“Phase I Issues”). If Seller fails to
perform all reasonable and necessary actions to address the Phase I Issues prior to Closing, the Buyer Parties may perform such actions after Closing and all such actions undertaken by Buyer shall be at Seller’s sole cost and expense (subject
to Section 5.10(f)). 
  

 52 








 (b) Subject to Section 5.10(f), Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, undertake
all reasonable and necessary actions: (1) to conduct an additional soil and groundwater investigation at Seller’s properties at Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Port of Iberia, Louisiana, (2) if necessary as a result of the additional site
investigations, to enroll each property with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”), Risk Evaluation Corrective Action Program (“RECAP”), and (3) if necessary as a result of the additional
site investigations, to submit an investigation report for each property to LDEQ not later than February 20, 2009. Seller shall provide a copy of all sampling plans, analytical results and draft investigation reports to Buyer. Prior to the
submission of any investigation report to LDEQ, Seller shall obtain Buyer’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. 
 (c)
If, prior to Closing and based on the investigation reports submitted by Seller pursuant to Section 5.10(b) hereof, if applicable, LDEQ determines that no additional site investigation and/or remedial activities are necessary at both
the Baton Rouge and Port of Iberia properties, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of the LDEQ determination and the condition in Section 7.1(r) shall be deemed satisfied. 
 (d) If, on or before February 27, 2009 and based on the investigation reports submitted by Seller pursuant to Section 5.10(b)
hereof, if applicable, LDEQ determines that additional site investigation and/or remedial activities are necessary at either the Baton Rouge or Port of Iberia property, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of the LDEQ determination and
the Parties mutually agree to negotiate among themselves: (1) the additional scope of work that will be necessary and the estimated costs associated with conducting such additional work, and (2) whether Seller will agree to conduct such
additional work at its sole cost and expense. In the event that Seller is unwilling (in its sole discretion) to conduct such additional work at its cost and expense, Buyer shall have the option, in its sole discretion: (1) to conduct such
additional work at its sole cost and expense and the condition in Section 7.1(r) shall be deemed satisfied, or (2) to terminate the Agreement. 
 (e) If, on or before February 27, 2009 and based on the investigation reports submitted by Seller pursuant to Section 5.10(b) hereof, if applicable, LDEQ has not yet made any determination
whether additional site investigation and/or remedial activities are necessary at either the Baton Rouge or Port of Iberia property, the Parties mutually agree to negotiate among themselves whether Seller will conduct at its cost and expense any
additional site investigation and/or remedial activities that LDEQ may direct at either the Baton Rouge or Port of Iberia property. In the event that Seller is unwilling (in its sole discretion) to agree to conduct any such additional site
investigation and/or remedial activities that may be directed by LDEQ: (1) Buyer, in its sole discretion, may agree to conduct any such additional work at its sole cost and expense and the condition in Section 7.1(r) shall be deemed
satisfied, or (2) Buyer, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Agreement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section to the contrary, Seller’s maximum liability for costs and expenses in connection with the activities set forth in this Section 5.10, including the Phase I Issues, shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000), unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. 
  

 53 








 Section 5.11 Real Property Title Issues. Following the execution of this Agreement,
the Buyer Parties will order or have ordered commitments (the “Commitments”) for such Title Insurance Policies (the “Policies”) from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) and/or
surveys (“Surveys”) from Orin Group with respect to such parcels of Real Property which the Buyer Parties shall deem necessary. Seller shall prior to Closing, and at its sole cost and expense, undertake all actions set forth on
Schedule 5.11 (the “Title Actions”). With respect to those parcels of Real Property identified on Schedule 5.11 for which Commitments have not been obtained as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall use its best
efforts to promptly obtain the results of Commitments and/or Surveys prior to Closing. Upon receipt of the results of such Commitments and/or Surveys, the Parties hereto shall use their best efforts to reach a mutually agreeable description of
actions which the Seller shall take at its sole cost and expense to correct and address any title defects or issues identified by Commitments and/or Surveys (“Title Defect Corrections”). Upon such mutual agreement on the Title
Defect Actions, such actions comprising the Title Defect Corrections shall become part of the Title Actions and shall be listed on Schedule 5.11. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the Title Defect Corrections, then the Buyer
Parties shall have the option, in their sole discretion, to either: (a) waive the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(s), or (b) terminate this Agreement. If Seller fails to perform all Title Actions prior to Closing,
the Buyer Parties may perform such actions after Closing and all such actions undertaken by Buyer shall be at Seller’s sole cost and expense. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 Post-Closing Covenants 
 The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing: 
 Section 6.1
General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party will execute and deliver such further instruments and documents as the other Party reasonably
may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 8 below and except as otherwise provided herein). 
 Section 6.2 Employees. The Parties shall effect the discharge and hiring of Employees to Buyer in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Schedule 6.2. Furthermore, Buyer covenants that Buyer shall hire Seller employees in a number sufficient to prevent any post-closing violation of the WARN Act by Seller as to those persons employed by Seller as of the Closing Date.

 Section 6.3 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation; Confidentiality. 
 (a) Seller agrees that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Restricted Period”), Seller (and only Seller) shall refrain from carrying on or engaging in a business similar to that of a Competing Business, including but not limited to directly or indirectly providing service or advice to,
operating, lending money to, or acquiring any ownership in any Competing Business. A 

  

 54 








 
“Competing Business” is any business engaging in the Business within the parishes and counties set forth on Exhibit D where the Buyer
and/or the Related Entities carry on business (collectively, the “Restricted Area”). Seller agrees that the definition of “Business” accurately describes its business and that of the Related Entities and represents and
warrants that Exhibit D accurately lists the parishes and counties in which Seller, and/or the Related Entities have recently conducted business, are currently conducting business, or have a reasonable potential of conducting business. This
restriction does not prohibit Seller from owning up to five percent of a publicly-traded company engaged in such a business provided the investment is passive and Seller does not provide any services or advice to such business or violate any other
terms of this Agreement in connection with such investment. 
 (b) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, directly or
indirectly, participate in the recruitment, solicitation, or hiring of any employee of the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities and/or their subsidiaries or affiliates (excluding someone employed in a secretarial, clerical, or custodial position) or
discuss with such person his or her leaving the employment of the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities, and/or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or engaging in any activity in competition with the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities and/or
their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Seller will not, directly or indirectly, encourage any person or entity to cease doing business with the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities and/or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or to
reduce that person’s or entity’s level of business with the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities or their respective affiliates. 
 (c) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not disparage the Buyer Parties, the Related Entities or their affiliates, any of their present or former employees, directors, officers, or agents, or any of their business plans,
policies, and practices to employees, former employees, members of the public, suppliers, competitors, customers, municipal officials, members of the public, or the media (including but not limited to in any internet posting, publication message
board, or weblog). However, this provision shall not be interpreted to prevent Seller from giving truthful testimony or information to law enforcement entities, administrative agencies, courts, or in any other legal proceedings or governmental
investigation as required by law including, but not limited to, assisting in any investigation or proceeding related to any violation of any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal or state securities law.
If Seller does not comply fully with any restriction in this Section after the Closing, the Restricted Period shall be extended for each day that Seller is not in full compliance. 
 (d) From and after the date hereof, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than
authorized officers, directors and employees of a Buyer Party or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than a Buyer Party, any Confidential Information (as defined below). Seller shall not have any
obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Seller shall, to the extent
reasonably possible, provide the Buyer Parties with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that a Buyer Party may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 6.3(d), 

  

 55 








 
“Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Business, including methods of operation, customers, customer lists,
products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, trade secrets, Know-How, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. Confidential Information does not
include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (A) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement; (B) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure not otherwise permissible thereunder; (C) is necessary to be disclosed in the Ordinary Course of Business to the benefit of the Business; or (D) permitted to be disclosed by a Buyer Party. For the avoidance of doubt, this
Section shall only be binding on Seller and not on Seller’s Affiliates (unless covered by a separate agreement between the Buyer Parties and Seller’s Affiliates). 
 (e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the time, scope, and other provisions of this Section 6.3 have been specifically negotiated
by sophisticated commercial parties and specifically hereby agree that such time, scope and other provisions are reasonable under the circumstances. The Parties further agree that if, at any time, despite the express agreement of the Parties, a
court of competent jurisdiction holds that any portion of this Section 6.3 is unenforceable because any of the restrictions therein are unreasonable, or for any other reason, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the maximum restrictions of time or scope reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by such court, will be substituted for any such restrictions which are held unenforceable. 

(f) Seller acknowledges that money damages will not adequately compensate the Buyer Parties or their respective affiliates for violation of
this Section 6.3 and that such violation will cause or threaten irreparable harm to the Buyer Parties and their affiliates. Upon a proper showing that a violation has occurred or is threatened, a court order enjoining such violation is a
proper remedy in addition to any other remedies or damages available to the Buyer Parties and their affiliates, and the Buyer Parties and their affiliates will not be required to post any bond or undertaking. If Seller breaches any of the provisions
of this Section 6.3, then Seller will pay on demand all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Buyer Party and its affiliates in establishing that breach and in otherwise enforcing any of the provisions of this
Section 6.3, regardless of whether litigation is commenced or prosecuted to a judgment. 
 Section 6.4 Taxes;
Prorations. 
 (a) Tax Returns and Audits. Seller shall cause to be timely paid, before the same shall become delinquent and
before penalties accrue thereon, all Taxes (a) shown (or required to be shown) to be due on any Tax Return (or amendment thereto) filed (or required to be filed) by Seller or any Related Entity with respect to taxable periods ending on or
before the Closing Date or portions of all taxable periods beginning prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date for that portion of such taxable period up to and including the Closing Date whether such Tax Returns are required to be
filed on, before or after the Closing Date and (b) that become due from, or payable by, Seller or any Related Entity with respect to such periods. All such Tax Returns shall be filed or caused to be filed by Seller and shall be prepared using
accounting methods that were used in preparing the relevant Tax Returns for prior taxable periods. 
  

 56 








 (b) Cooperation and Assistance. From time to time after the Closing, each Party shall
permit reasonable access, and shall cause their respective accountants and other representatives to permit reasonable access to each other, the information that they or their accountants or other representatives have within their control and that
may be reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return relating to Seller and each Related Entity or the examination by any taxing authority or other administrative or judicial proceeding relating to any Tax Return relating
to Seller and each Related Entity. Seller and Buyer shall retain or cause to be retained, until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns relating to Seller and each Related Entity for
all taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date, together with supporting work schedules and other records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Returns. 
 (c) Certain Tax Matters. Prior to Closing, Seller shall not make or permit to be made in respect of itself or any Related Entity, to the extent Seller has Control thereof, any change in any election,
annual accounting period, adoption of any accounting method, filing of any amended Tax Return, entering into of any closing agreement, settlement of any Tax claim or assessment relating to Seller or any Related Entity, surrender of any claim to a
refund of Taxes, or take or permit any other similar action, or omit to take any action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other
action or omission would have the effect of increasing the present or future Tax liability or decreasing any present or future Tax benefit relating to the Purchased Assets, the Related Entities or Buyer, as the case may be. 
 (d) Amended Returns. Following the Closing, Seller shall not amend, cause to be amended, or permit to be amended, any Tax Return relating
to Seller or any Related Entity which could affect the amount of any Taxes for which the Buyer or any Related Entity could be liable subsequent to the Closing without the prior approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 (e) Tax Convention. Whenever it is necessary for purposes of the Closing, any indemnification required under this
Section 6.4 or any other provision of this Agreement to determine any liability for Taxes attributable to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the
determination as to the portion of such Taxes payable for the period ending on the Closing Date, other than any ad valorem or property Taxes, shall be made by treating the Closing Date as the end of a short taxable year of Seller or the Related
Entity, as the case may be. In making this computation, exemptions, allowances, or deductions calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned as provided in the Code. All personal property Taxes which are
past due upon any personal property included among the Purchased Assets or in respect of assets of any Related Entity prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller (or if Seller has objected to such Taxes, Seller shall assume responsibility for
such Taxes), together with any penalty or interest thereon. Current personal property Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets or in respect of 

  

 57 








 
assets of any Related Entity for any Straddle Period shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date on a per diem basis based
on the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period beginning on the day after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing
Period”). Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing
Period. If current Tax bills are unavailable at the Closing Date, the prior year’s Tax bills shall be used for proration purposes and when the current year’s Tax bills are received, the proration shall be recalculated and the appropriate
payment shall be made forthwith. 
 (f) Section 754 Election. To the extent no valid Code section 754 election is
effective on the Closing Date in respect of any Related Entity that is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, Seller will cause each such Related Entity to make a timely Code section 754 election in order to allow Buyer
and its Affiliates to obtain a pro rata step-up in the tax basis of the assets of such Related Entity attributable to such Buyer or its Affiliates. 
 (g) Transfer Taxes. The Parties shall each pay when due one half of all stamp, transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and other such taxes and fees, including any taxes and fees related to the transfer of the
Purchased Assets to Buyer (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (h) Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into between Seller and any Related Entity or with
any Person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and after the Closing Date neither Buyer, ITI or their respective Affiliates shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply in
respect of any Related Entity that is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, to the extent tax distributions are to be made by any Related Entity under the existing terms of any applicable operating or partnership
agreement. 
 (i) Miscellaneous. To the extent applicable in respect of any of Seller’s or any Related
Entity’s Employees, Buyer agrees and Seller agrees, or shall cause such Related Entity, to use the alternate procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2004-53 with respect to wage reporting. 
 (j) Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.4 and the provisions of Article
VIII, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall control.

Attorney. 
 (a) Seller and the Buyer Parties agree that after the Closing Date they will hold in trust and will promptly transfer
and deliver to the proper recipient thereto, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using their

commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash), correspondence, documents or other property that they may receive on or after the
Closing which properly belongs to the other party, including without limitation, any insurance proceeds, and will account to the other for all such receipts. 
 (b) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall pay and discharge, in accordance with past practice but not less than on a commercially reasonable timely basis, all accounts payable incurred by Seller on or
prior to the Closing Date in respect of the Business and included in the Excluded Liabilities. It is understood that Assumed Liabilities, which include the current liabilities set forth in the working capital calculations of Section 2.6
are not part of the Excluded Liabilities and therefore Buyer is responsible for the payment thereof. 
 (c) Effective as of the
Closing, Seller hereby appoints the Buyer Parties (or any one of them) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of endorsing with the name of Seller any checks or drafts or other documents of title with respect to vehicles and
accounts receivable which are included in the Purchased Assets. 
 Section 6.6 Environmental Permit Matters. Prior to and
following the Closing, the Parties agree to cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of Permits issued pursuant to Environmental Laws or, if the transfer of such Permits is not allowed under Environmental Laws,

 ARTICLE VIII 
 Remedies for Breaches of this Agreement 
 Section 8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties made or provided for in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(a) (Organization), 3.2 (Authorization of Transaction), 3.3(a) (Non-Contravention), 3.6(a) (Certain Assets), 4.1 (Organization of Buyer and
ITI), 4.2 (Authorization of Transaction) and 4.3 (Non-Contravention) shall survive indefinitely, and the representations and warranties in Sections 3.17 (Benefit Plans), 3.18 (Litigation), 3.21 (Environmental
Matters) and 3.22 (Taxes) shall survive through the end of the period for the applicable Statute of Limitations (as defined hereinbelow), plus ninety (90) days. The covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive for the lesser of
four (4) years or until they are fully discharged. The representations and warranties in Section 3.9 (Intellectual Property and Technology) shall survive for a period of four (4) years. Claims pursuant to
Section 8.2(iii) which involve Fundamental Excluded Liabilities or which are Liabilities identified in Schedules to Section 3.17 (Benefit Plans), Section 3.18 (Litigation), Section 3.21 (Environmental
Matters) and Section 3.22 (Taxes) and Claims pursuant to Sections 8.4(iii) and 8.4(iv) may be brought through the end of the period for the applicable Statute of Limitations associated therewith. All other Claims pursuant

covenants contained in this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.1, such Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have preserved its rights to indemnification under this Article
8 regardless of when such Claim is ultimately liquidated or resolved. For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term “Statute of Limitations”, with respect to any indemnity claim 

  

 63 








 
between the parties hereto seeking reimbursement with regards to a third party claim, shall mean the longer of (i) eighteen (18) months or
(ii) the applicable statute of limitations of the jurisdiction in which a third party claim with regard to which indemnity is sought hereunder is brought by the third party; provided, however, that as to claims between Buyer and Seller not
arising from a third party claim, the term Statute of Limitations shall mean the statute of limitations solely under the laws applicable to this agreement in accordance with Section 10.9 herein. 
 Section 8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Buyer, ITI, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, representatives and employees (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and after the Closing, against any and all Claims to the extent such
Claims are based upon, arise out of or are related to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) any failure to perform or comply with any of the covenants,
conditions or agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iii) any Excluded Liability, or (iv) Seller’s or the Related Entities’ to the extent Seller had Control thereof, conduct of the
Business and ownership of the Purchased Assets prior to Closing.

representations or warranties contained in 3.18 (Litigation) and Section 3.21 (Environmental Matters), and (ii) Section 8.2(iii) with respect to those Fundamental Liabilities described in Sections 2.3(b)(vi)(A),
2.3(b)(vi)(B), 2.3(b)(ix) and 2.3(b)(xii), (iii) Liabilities identified in Schedule 3.18 (Litigation) and Schedule 3.21 (Environmental Matters), shall be limited, in the aggregate, to Fifty Million ($50,000,000) dollars;

 (d) Seller’s obligations to indemnify Buyer for a breach of all other warranties, representations and covenants under this
Agreement shall be limited, in the 

  

 64 








 
aggregate, to the amount of the Escrow Fund (and all earnings therefrom) and the Holdback Consideration (to the extent Seller becomes entitled to receive the
same) and satisfied therefrom by mutual agreement of the parties or based on a non-appealed judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction; and 
 (e) Seller’s aggregate liability with respect to Claims addressed by Sections 8.3(b), (c) and (d) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the Purchase Price. 
 Section 8.4 Indemnification by the Buyer Parties. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, the Buyer Parties agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, managers, representatives and employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and after the Closing, against any and all Claims to the
extent such Claims are based upon, arise out of or are related to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of a Buyer Party set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) any failure to perform or comply with any
of the covenants, conditions or agreements of a Buyer Party set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iii) any Assumed Liability, or (iv) Buyer’s conduct of the Business and ownership of the Purchased Assets,
including Post-Closing Environmental Liabilities, after the Closing Date. 
 Section 8.5 Calculation. The amount of each
Claim shall be determined only after giving credit for the amount of net monetary benefit, including without limitations, insurance coverage (not including any amounts the indemnified party is required to reimburse to such insurer) and any other
payments received by the indemnified party by reason of recompense, contribution, indemnification, or subrogation from any third party, resulting from or attributable to the event, occurrence, state of facts, actions or other circumstance causing or
giving rise to any such Claim. 
 Section 8.6 Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party
Claim”) which may give rise to a Claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after receiving notice of the
Third Party Claim) notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly of a Third Party Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligation hereunder, except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. 
 (b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time to
assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not waive any defense, cause of action or
counterclaim or 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 Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably). In the event that the Indemnifying
Party assumes the defense as provided in this Section 8.6, the Indemnified Party shall have the 

  

 65 








 
right to participate in such defense (including with counsel of its choice), at its own expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with
the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. In the event that the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with
one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of any Third Party Claim or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense,
settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to any such Third Party Claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into a settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably). 
 (c) Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 8.6(b) above, however,
the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, on behalf of and for the risk of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. 
 (d) In no event will the Indemnified Party 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 (not to be withheld
unreasonably). 
 (e) The Party assuming the defense under this Section 8.6 shall keep the appropriate Parties reasonably
informed regarding the progress and status thereof. 
 (f) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any
Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of
the Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement, provided, however, that failure of the Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability
hereunder unless and solely to the extent that the Indemnifying Party did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses, and will not in any event relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to the Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided herein. 
 Section 8.7 Escrow Fund. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, all liabilities of Seller under this Article 8 (other than Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties
pursuant to Sections 8.2(iii)) shall first be paid or reimbursed out of the Escrow Fund. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, after exhaustion of the Escrow Fund or upon the release of the Escrow Fund in accordance with
the terms of the Escrow Agreement, any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be satisfied by Seller or the Holdback Consideration.

pertaining to the Real Property Matters. 
  

 70 








 (c) Other than as set forth in Section 10.9(a) and (b), this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of law provision that would cause the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other
than Missouri and each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri (and any court to which an appeal may be taken therefrom) for the purposes of any other suit,
action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by either Party. Each Party irrevocably agrees that all Claims in respect of such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such federal court and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in
or by such court. 
 (d) Each Party consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof to such Party at any time at its address to which notices are to be given pursuant to Section 10.8. Each Party agrees that its submission to jurisdiction and consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit
of the other Parties. Final judgment against any Party in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive, and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction (i) by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, a certified or true copy of

 Section 10.10 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 of the Parties, and appropriately notarized to the extent required by applicable law. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or 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 such occurrence. 
 Section 10.11
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or

 71 








 
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state or local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the
context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation.

 Section 10.14 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees
that the other Parties would be irreparably injured if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that money damages may not or would not be an adequate remedy in such event. Therefore, the

requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.
