      three months by unilateral written statement to the Buyer, i.e. until 31
      March 2007 and the 30 June 2007, respectively. In case the Closing
      Conditions pursuant to Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 3.5 and Section
      3.6 still have not occurred on 30 June 2007 and provided that the Parties
      do not agree on a further prolongation of the term by written agreement,
      the Closing Conditions cannot any longer occur.

SECTION 4 PURCHASE PRICE

4.1   The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Sold Shares is calculated
      according to the following formula:

    Company Value - Net Financial Liabilities + or = Working Capital Changes
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       2

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

4.2   In case the calculation of the Purchase Price in accordance with the
      formula results in a negative purchase price, the Purchase Price shall
      amount to one Euro (EUR 1.00).

4.3   In addition to the Purchase Price, the Buyer shall pay an "Earn-Out
      Payment" to the Sellers under the conditions and in the amount as provided
      for in Section 7. In case the Buyers have to make such earn-out payment,
      such Earn Out Payment shall increase the Purchase Price.

4.4   The company value is calculated as eight times (8 x) the EBITDA-value,
      which will result from an audited financial report ("Closing Report") to
      be prepared in accordance with Section 8 for the financial year 2006
      ("Pre-Closing Phase").

4.5   The EBITDA-value shall be calculated in accordance with the following
      definitions and provisons:

4.5.1 EBITDA is an acronym for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
      Amortisation and is defined as a company's operating result prior to any
      additions or deductions for income from interest, interest paid, taxes on
      earnings, depreciation of fixed assets and goodwill amortisation.

4.5.2 The EBITDA represents the result from a company's ongoing operating
      activities and does not include any material extraordinary factors.
      "Extraordinary" here relates to material, unusual (betriebsfremd) or
      non-recurring factors, or non cash transactions - including changes in
      accounting practices (rein buchtechnisch).

4.5.3 The EBITDA does not include any effects relating to other accounting
      periods which result from balance sheet valuations of assets and
      liabilities made as of the respective key date of the annual financial
      statement. Any factor not deemed to have been caused during the fiscal
      year in question shall be considered as relating to another accounting
      period. Similarly, unusual (betriebsfremd) and one-off factors relating to
      such valuations are not included when calculating the EBITDA.

4.5.4 Gauselmann AG's share of the general administrative and overhead costs
      does not form part of the EBITDA. The costs asserted by Gauselmann AG
      against the Atronic Group and calculated using cost allocations and
      individual invoices are only included in the EBITDA if services are
      actually rendered and the Atronic Group derives a direct benefit from
      such.

4.5.5 The expenses incurred by the Atronic Group as regards any of the measures
      proposed and initiated by the Buyer concerning the reorganisation of
      accounting, reporting and planning

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

      procedures are not included in the EBITDA and may not be included when
      calculating the Purchase Price.

4.5.6 The provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) and
      those of US GAAP set out differing accounting procedures with regard to
      the valuation and conversion of foreign currencies. The effect of such
      differences on a company's operating result should be included in the
      EBITDA up to a value of EUR 500,000.00, unless there are extraordinary
      circumstances involved or factors relating to other accounting periods as
      described above.

4.5.7 The EBITDA is calculated from the audited consolidated annual financial
      statement of the Atronic Group in accordance with the provisions of the
      German Commercial Code. This is done on the basis of the fiscal years
      running from 1 January to 31 December 2006 and from 1 January to 31
      December 2007.

4.5.8 If and insofar Regulatory Approvals are still missing, but the respective
      Closing Condition has nevertheless occurred pursuant to Section 3.3.1, the
      EBITDA-value for the financial year 2006 shall be adjusted as follows: the
      average gross margin ("Rohergebnis") achieved in the non-licenced
      territories in the financial years 2005 and 2006 shall be added to the
      EBITDA-value. The net turnover shall be the turnover minus material costs.

4.5.9 The calculation scheme for the establishment of EBITDA is scheduled as
      APPENDIX SECTION 4.5.9.

4.6   The Net Financial Liabilities shall be calculated in accordance with the
      following definitions:

4.6.1 The "Net Financial Debt" represents the balance of all interest-bearing
      asset and liability items shown in the Closing Report.

4.6.2 Interest-bearing asset items include securities held as fixed assets,
      loans, lendings and other interest-bearing claims against third parties,
      the Sellers, or against other members of the Family-Gauselmann-Group, as
      well as cash in bank and cash in hand.

4.6.3 Interest-bearing liability items include amounts due to banks and other
      financial institutions, other interest-bearing liabilities owed to third
      parties or the Sellers, or against other members of the
      Family-Gauselmann-Group, as well as interest-bearing liabilities resulting
      from drawings from the Cash Pool of Gauselmann AG.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

4.6.4 Interest-bearing accounts receivable and accounts payable shall also be
      part of the Net Financial Debt.

4.6.5 The items to be considered for determining the Net Financial Debt are
      shown in APPENDIX SECTION 4.6.5.

4.7   The impact of the Working Capital and of changes of the Working Capital on
      the Purchase Price shall be established in accordance with the following
      definitions and provisions:

4.7.1 The "Net Working Capital" represents the balance of all
      non-interest-bearing items included in the current assets (with the
      exception of cash in hand and bank deposits), minus any
      non-interest-bearing, short-term items included in the liability reserves
      or in the liabilities.

4.7.2 Non-interest-bearing assets that are part of the working capital include
      inventories, non-interest-bearing accounts payable, non-interest-bearing
      "other" claims and asset items payable by third parties, the Sellers or
      other members of the Family-Gauselmann-Group, as well as prepayments and
      accrued income.

4.7.3 Non-interest-bearing liabilities forming part of the working capital
      include short-term provisions, non-interest bearing accounts payable,
      non-interest-bearing "other" liabilities owed to third parties, the
      Sellers, or other members of the Family-Gauselmann-Group, as well as
      deferred income.

4.7.4 Tax-related claims and liabilities as well as provisions for taxes are not
      part of the Net Working Capital if they have any direct relation to the
      sale of the Sold Shares contemplated in this Agreement and to Sellers I
      and II.

4.7.5 The "Net Working Capital" is calculated from the audited consolidated
      annual financial statement of the Atronic Group in accordance with the
      provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

4.7.6 The items to be considered for determining the Net Working Capital are
      shown in the APPENDIX SECTION 4.6.5.

4.7.7 The Sellers expect that by the Closing Date the Working Capital will have
      reached a level that is in line what is currently customary and generally
      accepted within the Atronic Group. The amount of the Working Capital
      anticipated by the Buyer at the Closing Date is referred

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

      to as "Target Working Capital".

4.7.8 The "Target Working Capital" is the average amount of the Working Capital
      determined as of the cut-off date (31 December) of the Financial years
      2004, 2005 and 2006.

4.7.9 The Target Working Capital shall be compared to the Working Capital
      determined as of the Closing Date and the difference will constitute the
      "Change in Working Capital". If the Working Capital determined as of the
      Closing Date is above the amount of the agreed Target Working Capital, the
      Purchase Price will be increased by an amount equivalent to 50% of the
      difference. If the Working Capital as of the Closing Date falls short of
      the amount of the agreed Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price will
      be decreased by an amount equivalent to 50% of the difference.

4.8   Potential effects of the - allowed - sale of the building in Scottsdale,
      Arizona, and the subsequent lease of this building on the Purchase Price
      (EBITDA-value or Net Financial Liabilities) have to be neutralized.

SECTION 5 PAYMENT AND DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

The Purchase Price is to be paid as follows:

5.1   On the Transaction Date the Buyer pays to the Sellers a preliminary
      Purchase Price in accordance with Section 6 ("Preliminary Purchase
      Price").

5.2   The difference amount between (i) the Purchase Price as calculated in
      accordance with Section 8 on the basis of the Closing Report and (ii) the
      paid Preliminary Purchase Price is payable by the Buyer or repayable by
      the Sellers jointly, as the case may be, 15 "Banking Days" (days on which
      the banks in Boston and Dusseldorf are open for business) after binding
      and final calculation in accordance with Section 8.

5.3   An Earn-Out payment by the Buyer to the Sellers, if due, becomes payable
      15 Banking Days after binding and final calculation in accordance with
      Section 7.

5.4   The Buyer shall make purchase price payments to the Sellers with debt
      settling effect for both Sellers to the following account:

      Account number: 59683 (Gauselmann AG) with Stadtsparkasse Rahden (BLZ 490
      510 65).

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

5.5   Any repayment of a difference amount in accordance with Section 5.2 from
      the Sellers to the Buyer shall be made to the following account of the
      Buyer:

           Account number 07718069
           Fleet Bank
           Boston, MA
           ABA no.011000390

SECTION 6 CALCULATION OF THE PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE

6.1   The Sellers will select an independent auditor ("Auditor"). The Auditor
      will review the consolidated monthly reports (January - October 2006 or in
      case the Transaction Date is after the 31 December 2006, the monthly
      reports available until this point of time) and will on this basis make an
      estimate of the Purchase Price.

      The review of the monthly reports shall be made in accordance with the
      standards "PS 900 IDW" as described in APPENDIX SECTION 6.1.

      In case the Transaction Date is after 30 April 2007, the Preliminary
      Purchase Prices shall be determined on the basis of the audited yearly
      accounts for 2006 by the auditor preparing the yearly accounts.

6.2   Not later than 25 days before the Transaction Date the Auditor according
      to its instructions has to present to the Buyer and to the Sellers a
      well-founded estimate of the Purchase Price in written form.

6.3   Provided that no Party proves to the other Party/Parties within 15 days
      that the estimate presented by the Auditor contains evident mistakes or
      that the Parties do not come to an agreement prior to the Transaction Date
      how to amend the estimate respectively, the Preliminary Purchase Price
      payable as of the Transaction Date shall amount to 90% of estimated
      purchase price.

6.4   In addition the Buyer has the right to take part on its own costs in the
      estimate procedure (pursuant to Section 6.1 subparagraph 1 and 2) by an
      auditor selected by the Buyer. The Auditor has to be instructed, to duly
      inform the auditor selected by the Buyer at the beginning of the review
      procedure on the intended organization of the review procedure. The
      results of an additional review by an auditor selected by the Buyer shall
      have no impact on the determination

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

      of the Preliminary Purchase Price.

SECTION 7 EARN-OUT

7.1   Buyer shall make an earn-out payment to the Sellers calculated according
      to the following formula:

           6 X (EBITDA - EBITDA 2006)
           -------------------------
                       2

      In case the EBITDA-value for the financial year 2006 as finally
      established in the Closing Report is below EUR 25,000,000.00, not the de
      facto EBITDA-value but an EBITDA-value in the amount of EUR 25,000,000.00
      shall be deducted from the EBITDA-value for the financial year 2007.

7.2   An Earn-Out Payment shall only become due, if the EBITDA-value for the
      financial year 2007 exceeds EUR 25,000,000.00 or, if higher, the
      EBITDA-value for the financial year 2006. Otherwise, the Purchase Price
      remains unchanged.

7.3   The EBITDA-value for the calculation of an earn-out shall be taken from
      the annual financial report to be established and audited in accordance
      with Section 8 ("Post Closing-Report") .

7.4   APPENDIX SECTION 7.4 contains two examples for the calculation of the
      Purchase Price in accordance with the formula under Section 4 and in
      accordance with the formula for the calculation of the Earn-Out payment in
      accordance with Section 7.1.

SECTION 8 REPORTS

8.1   The Closing-Report (as of 31 December 2006) and the Post-Closing Report
      (as of 31 December 2007) are Consolidations as of the relevant cut-off
      date of the annual accounts of all companies of the Atronic Group listed
      in APPENDIX SECTION 8.1 as well as all companies which become a member of
      the Atronic-Group in the future ("Consolidation Group") audited by the
      Auditor.

      The auditor for the financial year 2006 shall be selected by the Sellers;
      the auditor for the financial year 2007 shall be selected by the Buyer.

8.2   The Closing Report shall be prepared having regard to the German
      commercial regulations for groups of companies (Sections 290 ff. HGB -
      without appendices and progress report), in par-

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

      ticular with adherence to the principles of proper accounting as well as
      preserving the continuity of accounting and valuation standards and with
      consideration for industry-specific issues.

      The Buyer is entitled, to take part at its own costs in the audit for the
      financial year 2006 insofar, as an auditor selected by the Buyer shall
      have the right to be present without limitations at the audit conducted by
      the auditor; the auditor selected by the Buyer shall have access to the
      books and documents of the companies. The Sellers shall agree on these
      rights with the auditor selected by them. Prior to the beginning of the
      audit, the auditor selected by the Sellers shall be obliged to inform the
      auditor selected by the Buyer on the beginning of the audit. At the
      request by the Buyer, the auditor alternatively will disclose to the Buyer
      or to persons appointed by the Buyer the yearly accounts and the working
      papers prepared in connection therewith at the business place of the
      company or of the auditor.

      The auditor shall then reconcile the Closing-Report to US-GAAP.

8.3   The Post Closing-Report will be prepared in accordance with US-GAAP and
      subsequently reconciled to the German trade law provisions applicable to
      group enterprises (Sections 290 HGB). The Sellers at their own costs shall
      have the right under Section 8.2 second paragraph which shall apply
      mutatis mutandis.

8.4   The shareholders of the companies of the Consolidation Group shall procure
      that the respective companies prepare the individual annual accounts
      within six weeks after the Transaction Date and to present these accounts
      to the auditor for auditing purposes and to the Parties immediately
      thereafter.

8.5   If no Party raises objections to either the Closing Report or the
      Post-Closing Report within one month from its receipt, then the respective
      report(s) is/are deemed to be accepted and shall be final and binding for
      the Parties.

8.6   If one of the Parties has objections against the contents of the Closing
      Report and/or the Post-Closing Report and the proposal for the calculation
      of the Purchase Price and/or the Earn-Out payment derived therefrom, i.e.
      in particular against the calculation of the EBITDA and Net Financial
      Liabilities as well as against the calculation of the Working Capital,
      then the objecting Party will advise the other Party within four weeks
      after receipt of the objectioned report with written explanations of the
      objection and with a calculation of the consequences of the objections.
      Objections against a Report are only to be considered, if assuming their
      correct-

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

      ness they would result in a reduction or increase of the Purchase Price
      pursuant to Section 4.1 or the Earn-out pursuant to Section 7 by at least
      EUR 200,000.00 in each case.

8.6.1 If one of the Parties raises objections within the agreed time limit, then
      the Parties, together with the Auditor and their consultants, will strive
      to come to an agreement within one month of receipt of the objections. If
      an agreement is reached, then the result is final and binding for the
      Parties.

8.6.2 If no agreement is reached within the mentioned period of one month, then
      the Parties will strive to agree on an expert arbitrator within two (2)
      weeks. If the Sellers and Buyer do not agree on an expert arbitrator
      within the period of two (2) weeks, then the Sellers jointly as well as
      the Buyer are entitled to request the Institut der Wirtschaftsprufer in
      Deutschland e.V., Dusseldorf to nominate an auditor as an expert
      arbitrator. The expert arbitrator in conclusion decides on the objections,
      which form the object of the disagreement. The expert arbitrator has to
      explain his decision in writing. In his decision, the expert arbitrator is
      not allowed to make assertions, which are out of the scope, which is set
      by the respective report and the objections raised by the objecting Party.
      The costs of the expert arbitration are borne by the Sellers and the Buyer

<PAGE>

         true and accurate at the time of signing this deed, unless otherwise
         described in Section 1.3.

         and economic owners of all shares in the Subsidiaries;

11.1.2   the shares in the Subsidiaries are free from rights of third parties,

         shares were fully paid in cash or by contribution in kind, and a
         repayment of the accepted capital stock has not, even partially,
         occurred, and the full amount of the capital stock is therefore
         available; there exist no hidden contributions in kind or hidden
         repayments of capital stock,;

11.1.5   upon the acquisition of the shares by the respective shareholder, the
         alienator had all necessary approvalsfor the transfer and otherwise all
         formalities prescribed by law or any contract were observed,
         particularly but not exclusively the rules of representation;

11.1.6   no share certificates were issued for the shares;

11.1.7   neither the Sellers nor third parties have any type of claim or options
         for a participation in the Subsidiaries or their results;

11.1.8   the Subsidiaries were each effectively founded under the jurisdiction
         of their respective national laws, no shareholders' resolutions were
         adopted that could alter the legal situation of the Subsidiaries,
         particularly no resolutions pursuant to transformation regulations or
         liquidation of the Subsidiaries;

11.2     The Sellers, in addition, declare that the statements regarding the
         Parent Companies under Section 10.1.3 (insofar as available), Section

         GmbH, Atronic Russ OOO, Atronic Austria GmbH and Atronic Australia Pty.

                                      -26-

11.3     The Sellers, finally, declare that the statements regarding the Parent
         Companies in Section 10.1.4, Section 10.2.3 and Section 10.2.5 are
         mutatis mutandis true and accurate also with regard to all Subsidiaries
         unless APPENDICES SECTION 11.3 parts (A) to (C) provide expressively
         otherwise.

         In case any of the APPENDICES SECTION 11.2 and Section 11.3 is not
         complete this shall not entail legal consequences if the missing
         information is contained in the respective Appendix under Section 10.
         The same applies vice versa.

SECTION 12 LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

12.1     Sellers and Buyer agree that the declarations of the Sellers provided
         in Section 9, Section 10 and Section 11 are neither quality guarantees
         in the sense of Section 443 and Section 444 of the German Civil Code
         nor quality agreements in the sense of Section 434 Paragraph 1 Section
         1 of the German Civil Code, but rather independent guarantees which are
         not expressly governed by law. To the extent that the legal
         consequences for untrue quality guarantees and quality agreements as
         provided by law are limited in this contract, these are no exclusions
         or limitations in the sense of Section 444 of the German Civil Code.
         Instead, the matter is governed by integral parts of the given
         independent guarantees. Section 444 of the German Civil Code is thus
         inapplicable to the independent guarantees given in Section 9, Section
         10 and Section 11.

12.2     If a guarantee statement is untrue, the Buyer can demand that the
         Sellers, within a reasonable period but at the latest within a period
         of 45 days after receiving the demand, produce the condition that would
         exist if the statement or statements were true. If the Sellers, within
         the established period, do not produce the contractual condition, or if
         the production of the contractual condition is impossible, the Buyer
         can demand money damages of the Sellers as joint debtors.

12.3     If the liability of the Sellers depends on the knowledge or imputed
         knowledge of particular facts or circumstances, the knowledge and
         imputed knowledge of the managers and "officers" and other persons in
         comparable rank in accordance with the applicable legal regime of the
         Parent Companies and of the Subsidiaries as well as of those members of
         the Compliance Committee of the Atronic-Group which are employed by a
         company of the Atronic-Group, is attributable to them.

12.4     The Buyer can claim compensation based on non-performance under Section
         9, Section 10 and Section 11 of this contract of guarantees given by
         the Sellers only if a single claim exceeds EUR 45,000.00, and the sum
         of the individual claims exceeds EUR 500,000.00 ("Basket"). In the case
         the li-

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

         ability of the Sellers exceeds the Basket, compensation for the whole
         amount (i.e. including EUR 500,000.00) can be claimed.

12.5     Except for cases under Section 13, the liability of the Sellers is
         limited to half of the amount of the Purchase Price (including
         Earn-Out).

12.6     Any liability of the Sellers shall be excluded if and to the extent
         that any damage has been rectified by the relevant company or the
         Sellers by the Closing Date or if the (potential) damage is
         appropriately reflected by a reserve, liability or otherwise accounted
         for in the Closing Report.

12.7     Section 442 BGB (German Civil Code) shall not apply.

12.8     The Buyer shall be entitled to claim for damages under Section 12 only
         after the transfer of the Sold Shares on the Closing Date.

12.9     To the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 13, all other
         rights arising from warranties and assurances, which may exist
         according to the legal provisions or otherwise in addition to the
         rights provided for in this contract, are excluded. Rights in
         connection with intentional conduct are not excluded.

SECTION 13 TAXES, SOCIAL CHARGES AND OTHER PUBLIC CHARGES

13.1     The Sellers hereby guarantee in the form of an independent guarantee
         that as at the Transaction Date all statements and/or applications
         concerning taxes and/or social charges (including those for the
         combined and separate determination of tax bases) that are required for
         their respective business, particularly but not exclusively those
         relating to corporation tax, trade tax, wage tax, and value added tax
         have been properly submitted, or will be submitted in due time after
         execution of the contract in respect of the Parent Companies and the
         Subsidiaries (hereinafter for the purposes of Section 13 together the
         "Companies") as well as for the atypical silent partnership, if
         required.

         All domestic and foreign taxes, tax liability amounts, fees,
         contributions and other levies, duties, social insurance contributions,
         and interest, default surcharges, coercive payments, civil penalties,
         criminal penalties, and other supplementary payments (Section 3 Abs. 4
         AO) (hereinafter "Taxes") that become due and payable by the Companies
         until or on the Closing Date ("Closing Date") and that relate to the
         period up to the Closing Date are either fully paid by the Closing Date
         or are adequately provided for in the Closing Date balance sheet, or
         respect-

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

         ively, disclosed as a liability.

13.2     If the statements in Section 13.1 prove to be incorrect and this
         results in Tax liabilities of the Companies for the period until the
         Closing Date, or if audits by the tax authorities or other
         circumstances for periods until the Closing Date lead to liabilities of
         the Companies with regard to Taxes which exceed the liabilities shown
         and reserves or accruals formed for the relevant type of Tax in the
         Closing Report ("Additional Tax Liabilities"), the Sellers must
         compensate all disadvantages arising therefrom. Furthermore, in the
         case of a subsequent disclosure of hidden distributions of profits the
         Sellers must make a compensation payment in the amount of the
         corporation tax increase, if any, applicable to the respective hidden
         profit distribution plus any withholding tax assessed.

13.3     All Taxes that become due or payable by the Companies until the
         Transaction Date of that relate to this period or are a result of the
         consummation of this Agreement, shall be borne by the Sellers. Given
         the above, the Sellers shall indemnify the Companies and the Atypical
         Silent Partnership (to the extent it is tax subject) from all Taxes
         relating to the period between the Closing Date and the Transaction
         Date that become due or payable by the Companies until the Transaction
         Date or that relate to this period or are triggered by consummation of
         this Agreement. The indemnification and release obligation is excluded
         to the extent (i) that the respective Taxes are accounted for in the
         Closing Report or the annual statements of the Companies or adequate
         deferments (Ruckstellungen) are created in the Closing Date balance
         sheet or the annual statements of the Companies, or (ii) that the
         Sellers have already paid or economically borne such Tax. Interest on
         Taxes that the Sellers bear and that are not paid immediately shall be
         paid by the Sellers at 6 % per annum.

13.4     Trade tax triggered by the sale of the interests in the Atypical Silent
         Partnership by this Agreement at the level of AI shall (to the extent
         not deferred in the Closing Date balance sheet of AI) be deferred in
         AI's balance sheets of the following fiscal years and shall be
         recognised in full against the Sellers and to the benefit of the Buyer
         and AI.

         Given this, it is hereby agreed with regard to the profit allocation
         rule in the Atypical Silent Partnership that the Buyer and AI shall
         have a right to receive a preferential profit in the amount of the
         trade tax assessed with regard to the profit starting that fiscal year,
         in which the Transaction Date falls. The preferential profit right also
         exists in case the sales profit does not trigger trade tax due to
         losses incurred in the period between the Transaction Date and year
         end; in this case, the preferential profit amount shall be the
         construed trade tax amount attributable to the sales profit (after
         set-off with any trade tax loss carry forwards

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

         and/or losses incurred for trade tax purposes in the period until the
         Transaction Date). To the extent a profit is not realised and the
         preferential profit allocation pursuant to the above cannot be achieved
         in a fiscal year, the corresponding amount shall be allocated in the
         following years; the respective outstanding amount shall bear interest
         at 6 % per annum..

13.5     The fiscal deposit account within the meaning of sec 27 paragraph 1 of
         the Corporate Income Tax Act (Korperschaftsteuergesetz, "KStG") and the
         tax-burdened or unburdened partial amounts in accordance with sections
         36 to 40 KStG of the Companies as per 12. December 2002 are completely
         and accurately shown in APPENDIX SECTION 13.5. If it turns out, for
         example on the basis of an audit by the tax authorities, that the
         composition of the equity capital is different, the Sellers must
         compensate the disadvantage arising as a result assuming a full
         distribution of the distributable equity capital to the extent that
         this disadvantage is not already to be compensated pursuant to Section
         13.2.

13.6     Each Company that is treated as a partnership of U.S. federal income
         tax purposes will make a timely election under Section 754 of the
         (US-)Code with the U.S. federal income tax return of such Company for
         the period that includes the Transaction Date with respect to the
         interests. In the event a Company is not required to file a U.S.
         federal income tax return for the period that includes the Transaction
         Date, such Company shall take all necessary actions to make a valid
         timely election under Section 754 of the (US-)Code with respect to the
         interests.

13.7     To the extent that the Sellers must compensate disadvantages under this
         Section 13 or are obliged to release or indemnify, this must be made by
         payment to the Buyer or, at the Buyer's request, to the respective
         Company.

13.8     Claims of the Buyer based on breach of warranty or on release in
         relation to Taxes can, contrary to the Statute of Limitations of
         Section 20 be asserted up to 6 months after the time at which there is
         a legal bar to changing the tax ruling on which the claim is based. If
         claims based on this provision were asserted in time against the
         Sellers, the asserted claims become statute-barred with the passage of
         an additional 6 months after the Sellers acknowledge the claim, but at
         the earliest after the expiration of the legal limitations periods of
         German Civil Code Sections 194 ff..

13.9     The respective Company shall notify the Sellers immediately of the
         beginning of tax examinations and/or other audits, which relate to
         business of the Companies and the period up to the Closing Date or the
         later Transaction Date, and shall give the Sellers the opportunity to
         participate in these examinations. Namely, the Sellers can pursue
         judicial remedies and/or file

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

         an appeal against the determinations of the finance or other
         governmental authorities or have the company pursue such remedies
         and/or file such appeal to the extent that the determination is adverse
         and relates to periods prior to the Closing Date or the Transaction
         Date, respectively, whereby such actions shall be at cost of the
         respective Company provided it is legally and economically justified.

13.10    Claims of the Buyer against the Sellers according to the provisions of
         Section 13 herein do not exist in so far as Taxes relating to the
         period up to the Closing Date are assessed based on an audit performed
         by the fiscal authorities at a level exceeding the amount disclosed in
         the Closing Report as a liability or deferment, only because expenses
         of the company are shifted from one taxable period to another period up
         to and including a maximum of five years following the Closing Date
         (including such after the balance sheet date) or because revenue of a
         company from a taxable period of 5 years after the Closing Date to
         taxable periods before the Closing Date.

13.11    This Section 13 shall apply accordingly to Taxes arising in respect or
         at the level of Companies, which are non tax-resident in the Federal
         Republic of Germany.

13.12    With respect to claims of the Buyer under this Section 13 only a right
         of withdrawal shall be excluded. All other statutory claims remain
         unaffected.

13.13    The de minimis amount provided for in Section 12.4 does not apply with
         respect to claims under this Section 13.

         Date. In particular, the Sellers shall use their best efforts to

         in order to accommodate these problems. In particular, in cases where a

         antitrust clearances. The costs incurred in connection with the
         procedures in Germany, the US and Russia shall be borne in equal parts
         by the Parties. Costs incurred by all other procedures in other
         countries are solely borne by the Buyer. In case the Parties cannot
         agree on a law firm within 14 days, the Sellers are entitled to choose
         the law firm.

14.5     The Sellers shall be free during the time period from signing this deed
         and the Transaction Date to establish new companies, to reorganize
         existing companies and to transfer assets within the group. The Sellers

SECTION 15 FURTHER DISCLOSURES AND CONSEQUENCES

15.1     Sellers shall inform Buyer immediately in written form with
         confirmation of receipt (by registered letter, courier or likewise) in
         case (i) a claim or several claims in the (aggregate) amount of EUR
         25,000,000.00 or more is/are brought against one or several companies
         belonging to the Atronic-Group and/or (ii) a company belonging to the
         Atronic-Group looses one of the Regulatory Approvals referred to in
         APPENDIX SECTIONS 3.3.1 Part (A).

15.2     For a term of one month after receipt of the information pursuant to
         Section 15.1 the Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw from this contract
         by written statement to the Sellers. In this case there shall be no
         further claims for any of the Parties.

15.3     Six weeks before the Transaction Date at the earliest but not later
         than four weeks before the Transaction Date, Sellers shall send to

         shortened to two weeks. The appendices may be revised only insofar as
         the respective facts have occurred after the signing of this deed. If
         and insofar the Sellers have informed the Buyer already by means of
         reporting to the Interim Due Diligence Committee, the appendixes do not
         have to be updated.

         Prior to the Transaction Date these drafts shall only be amended if and
         insofar the respective facts have occurred after they were initially
         presented to the Buyer.

15.4     Buyer shall be entitled to refuse the consummation of this contact by
         written statement to the Sellers given not later as on the Transaction
         Date only in the following cases:

15.4.1   Sellers have not in due time delivered all drafts of the guarantee
         statements (including appendixes) to be made pursuant to Section 15.3;

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

15.4.2   Sellers do not make the guarantee statements under Section 9, Section
         10 und Section 11 (including appendixes) on the Transaction Date

15.4.3   Sellers make the guarantee statements on the Transaction Date pursuant
         to Section 9, Section 10.1.1 and Section 10.1.2 but the disclosures
         reflect amendments (except for amendments referring to management
         authorities and general proxies (Prokuren));

15.5     The refusal to consummate this contract pursuant to Section 15.4 shall
         be regarded as a withdrawal pursuant to Section 15.2.

15.6     In case that within 6 months after the consummation of this contract it
         should be revealed that:

         -        The guarantee statements pursuant to Section 9, Section 10.1.1
                  and Section 10.1.2 (including the appendixes) were untrue
                  and/or inaccurate; or

         -        the Sellers have breached their obligation under Section 15.1
                  prior to the consummation of this contract,

         the Buyer shall be entitled within a term of month to withdraw from
         this contract by written statement to the Sellers.

15.7     Additionally, the Sellers shall be liable for the correctness and the
         accurateness of the guarantee statements made on the Transaction Date
         only pursuant to Section 12.

SECTION 16 SELLERS' WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS AND BREAK-UP FEE

16.1     The Sellers shall be entitled to withdraw from this contract by written
         statement to the Buyer only in the following situations and only
         commonly:

16.1.1   Buyer fails to initiate filing the applications necessary in order to
         achieve the approvals provided for in appendix Section 3.3.1 Part (A)
         within 9 months after signing this contract;

16.1.2   Buyer after having filed for the approvals provided for in appendix
         Section 3.3.1 Part (A), withdraws a respective filing; and

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

16.1.3   The approvals pursuant to appendix Section 3.3.1 Parts (A), (B) and (C)

         with Section 16.1, the following shall apply: Buyer shall pay the
         Sellers a break-up fee in the amount of EUR 15,000,000.00 as sole and
         final remedy.

SECTION 17 CLOSING

17.1     The Parties shall consummate this contract by notarial deed ("Closing
         Deed") on the Transaction Date with effect as of Closing Date
         ("Consummation"). "Transaction Date" shall be the last day of the
         calendar month which follows the month when the last of the Closing
         Conditions is fulfilled, however, not before 29 December 2006. The
         Transaction Date shall be brought forward to the 15th day of the
         following month in case at least four weeks have passed since the
         fulfillment of the last Closing Condition.

17.2     At the Consummation the Sellers shall

17.2.1   Make the transfer statements and all other necessary statements
         including shareholders' resolutions with respect to the consummation of
         the statements made under Section 2 of this contract;

17.2.2   Deliver all existing share certificates, if any, directly sold under
         this contract; and

17.2.3   Make the guarantee statements pursuant to Section 9, Section 10 and
         Section 11 as provided for by Section 15.4.

17.3     At the Consummation the Buyer shall:

17.3.1   Accept the transfer statements of the Sellers in accordance with
         Section 17.2.1 of this contract;

17.3.2   Accept delivery of all existing share certificates, if any, directly
         sold under this contract;

17.3.3   Effect payment of the Preliminary Purchase Price by wire transfer
         pursuant to Section 4; and

17.3.4   Equalize the existing shareholder financing (shareholder loans, surety
         ships or other securities) of the Atronic-Group as specified by the
         Sellers as of the Transaction Date (i.e. effecting a ratio of 50 : 50
         shareholder financing between the Sellers on the one hand and the Buyer
         on the other hand) either by (i) granting respective financing or (ii)
         assumption of

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

         existing shareholder financing or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii).
         An example calculation hereof is attached as APPENDIX SECTION 17.3.4.

17.4     The obligations of Sellers and the Buyer under paragraphs Section 17.2
         to Section 17.3 above shall be fulfilled concurrently (Zug um Zug).

17.5     Insofar as the Closing Report of AI as of the Closing Date contains
         reserves with respect to trade tax payable on the profits realized by
         the Sellers I and II as a result of the sale, the following shall
         apply: such reserves shall not be taken into account when calculating
         as part of the Purchase Price the difference in Working Capital.
         Insofar as the loan accounts of the Sellers I and II with AI are
         affected by the creation of reserves for trade tax on the profit
         realized by the Sellers I and II as a result of a distribution of
         profits (i.e. the distribution of the profits after tax), such effect
         is to be added to the amount of the Net Financial Liability. This
         provision is intended to prevent the full or partial transfer to the
         Buyer of the trade tax burden in connection with the profits by the
         Sellers I and II as a result of the sale, respectively, a double trade
         taxation of the Sellers I and II with respect to the profits realized
         by them by the sale.

SECTION 18 ATYPICAL SILENT PARTNERSHIP

18.1     Notwithstanding the assignment in Section 2.5, Sellers I and II shall
         not have the right to convert wholly or partly their participation in
         the Atypical Silent Partnership (capital accounts) into shares in AI or
         into reserves at the AI.

18.2     Likewise, Sellers I and II do not have the right to convert their loan
         accounts with the Atypical Silent Partnership wholly or partly into
         shares.

18.3     Section 18.2 shall not apply insofar as book profits resulting from the
         contribution of the permanent establishment of AI in Austria into
         Austria Holding AG/Atronic Holding GmbH are credited to the loan
         accounts. 50% of the shares acquired by such means shall be transferred
         to the Buyer on the Transaction Date in accordance with applicable law.
         The consideration for this transfer is contained in the Purchase Price.

SECTION 19 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY

19.1     The Parties agree to treat as strictly confidential the information
         about one another and about the respectively associated business
         establishments that they have learned in connection with the
         negotiation and execution of this contract.

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

19.2     No Party will publish a press release or similar statement in relation
         to this contract without a prior written understanding with the other
         Party except to the extent such a press release or similar statement is
         provided by law or the rules of any competent Stock Exchange.

Transaction Date. Claims under Section 13 shall be time barred pursuant to
Section 13.8. All other claims arising from this contract, shall be time barred

         parties hereto may in whole or in part assign any of its rights or
         obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
         parties.

21.2     Irrespective of Section 21.1 the Buyer shall be entitled to - revocably
         - specify within 60 days after signing of this deed which
         company/companies shall acquire in parts or in total the Sold Shares
         provided that such company/companies is controlled by 100% by the
         Buyer.

21.3     In case the Buyer makes use of his right under Section 21.2, the
         following shall apply:

         -        Obligations of the Buyer pursuant to Section 17.3 may be
                  fulfilled also by the respective company/companies;

         -        The company/companies determined by the Buyer must receive the
                  respective antitrust and/or regulatory approvals in order to
                  achieve that the Closing Conditions are fulfilled;

         -        When establishing whether the Closing Condition pursuant to
                  Section 3.3.1 is fulfilled the Regulatory Approvals missing
                  for the Buyer and for the company/companies determined by the
                  Buyer have to be added; however, if the same Regulatory
                  Approval is missing for both the Buyer and a company
                  determined by the Buyer, only one regulatory approval shall be
                  deemed to be missing; and

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

         -        With respect to the withdrawal right pursuant to Section 16 it
                  shall be sufficient if the respective conditions are fulfilled
                  either with the Buyer or with the company determined by the
                  Buyer.

         promise that, in such an event, the invalid provision shall be replaced
         by a provision that corresponds to the economic outcome of the invalid
