Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have
the meanings indicated:

(a) “Acquiring Person” means any Person that is or has become, by itself or together
with its Affiliates and Associates, a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares
then outstanding, but shall not include:

(i) any Related Person;

(ii) any Grandfathered Person, provided that if the Percentage Stock Ownership
of any Person that had qualified as a Grandfathered Person ceases to be at least
5.0%, then such Person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person until such
later time (if any) as the Percentage Stock Ownership of such Person is 5.0% or
more, and then only if such Person does not qualify (A) as an Exempt Person, (B) for
the exception in subsection (iv) of this Section 1(a), (C) as a Grandfathered Person
pursuant to subsection (o) (ii) of this Section 1, or (D) in the case of any Person
who was a Grandfathered Person pursuant to subsection (o)(i) of this Section 1, as a
Grandfathered Person pursuant to subsection (o)(ii) of this Section 1, which shall
be applied to such Person as if the Percentage Stock Ownership of such Person at the
Amendment Effective Time had been less than 5.0%;

 

 

 

(iii) any Exempt Person; and

(iv) any Person that the Board determines, in its sole discretion, has, at or
after the Amendment Effective Time, by itself or together with its Affiliates and
Associates, inadvertently become a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common
Shares then outstanding (or has inadvertently failed to continue to qualify as a
Grandfathered Person or Exempt Person); provided that such Person promptly enters
into, and delivers to the Company, an irrevocable commitment promptly to divest or
cause its Affiliates and Associates to divest, and thereafter such Person or its
Affiliates and Associates promptly divest (without exercising or retaining any
power, including voting power, with respect to such Common Shares (or other
securities the beneficial ownership of which by a Person also results in such Person
beneficially owning Common Shares)), sufficient Common Shares (or other securities
the beneficial ownership of which by a Person also results in such Person
beneficially owning Common Shares) so that such Person’s Percentage Stock Ownership
is less than 5.0% (or, in the case of any Person who or which has inadvertently
failed to continue to qualify as a Grandfathered Person or Exempt Person, Common
Shares (or other securities the beneficial ownership of which by a Person also
results in such Person beneficially owning Common Shares) in an amount sufficient to
reduce such Person’s beneficial ownership of Common Shares by the number of Common
Shares that caused such Person to so fail to qualify as a Grandfathered Person or
Exempt Person, as the case may be); provided further that any such Person shall
cease to qualify for the exclusion from the definition of “Acquiring Person”
contained in this subsection (iv) from and after such time (if any) as the Person,
together with its Affiliates and Associates, subsequently becomes a Beneficial Owner
of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (or fails to continue to
qualify as a Grandfathered Person or Exempt Person), unless the Person independently
meets the conditions set forth in this subsection (iv) with respect to the
circumstances relating to the Person, together with its Affiliates and Associates,
subsequently becoming a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares then
outstanding (or failing to continue to qualify as a Grandfathered Person or Exempt
Person).

(v) any Person that has, by itself or together with its Affiliates and
Associates, become a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares then
outstanding (or has failed to continue to qualify as a Grandfathered Person or
Exempt Person) as a result of one or more transactions that are determined to be
Exempt Transactions, unless and until such time as such Person or transaction(s) no
longer satisfy the terms or conditions, if any, that the Board prescribed in its
determination under subsection (l) of this Section 1 with respect to such
transaction(s); provided that if the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Person that
had qualified for the exemption under this subsection (v) ceases to be at least
5.0%, then such Person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person until such
later time (if any) as the Percentage Stock Ownership of such Person is 5.0% or
more, and then only if such Person does not qualify (I) as an Exempt Person, (II)
for the exception in subsection (iv) of this Section 1(a), (III) as a Grandfathered

 

2

 

Person pursuant to subsection (o)(ii) of this Section 1, or (IV) for an
additional exception under this subsection (v).

(b) “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such
terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as in effect on the date of this Agreement and, to
the extent not included within the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(b), shall also
include, with respect to any Person, any other Person whose Common Shares are treated, for
purposes of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as being (i)
owned by such first Person (or by a Person or group of Persons to which the Common Shares
owned by such first Person are attributed pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.382-2T(h)), or (ii) owned by the same “entity” (as defined in the second sentence of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-3(a)(1)(i)) as is deemed to own the Common Shares owned by
such first Person; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate
or Associate of another Person solely because either or both Persons are or were directors
or officers of the Company.

(c) “Amendment Effective Time” means the close of business on July 7, 2009.

(d) A Person shall be deemed a “Beneficial Owner” of, and shall be deemed to
“beneficially own,” any securities:

(i) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly;

(ii) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates,
directly or indirectly, has the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable
immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) or upon the exercise of
conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants, options, or other rights (in each
case, other than upon exercise or exchange of the Rights); provided, however, that a
Person shall not be deemed a Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, securities
tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such Person
or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are
accepted for purchase or exchange;

(iii) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates,
directly or indirectly, has or shares the right to vote or dispose of, or has
“beneficial ownership” (as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Exchange Act) of, including pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing); or

(iv) with respect to which any other Person is a Beneficial Owner, if the
Person referred to in the introductory clause of this Section 1(d) or any of such
Person’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding
(whether or not in writing) with such other Person (or any of such

 

3

 

other Person’s Affiliates or Associates) with respect to acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of any securities of the Company;

provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this Section 1(d) shall not be applied
to cause a Person to be deemed a “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any
security (A) solely because such Person has the right to vote such security pursuant to an
agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) which (1) arises solely
from a revocable proxy given to such Person in response to a public proxy or consent
solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and regulations
of the Exchange Act, and (2) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D under the Exchange
Act (or any comparable or successor report), or (B) if such beneficial ownership arises
solely as a result of such Person’s status as a “clearing agency,” as defined in Section
3(a)(23) of the Exchange Act; provided further, however, that nothing in this Section 1(d)
shall cause a Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities or member of a
selling to group to be a Beneficial Owner of, or to “beneficially own,” any securities
acquired through such Person’s participation in good faith in an underwriting syndicate
until the expiration of 40 calendar days after the date of such acquisition, or such later
date as the directors of the Company may determine in any specific case; provided further
that the transfer of beneficial ownership of Common Shares to any Person without any
consideration for such transfer being given by such Person shall not result in such Person
becoming a Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares until the Person accepts such
transfer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent not within the
foregoing provisions of this Section 1(d), a Person shall be deemed a “Beneficial Owner” of,
and shall be deemed to “beneficially own” or have “beneficial ownership” of, any securities
that are owned by another Person and that are treated, for purposes of Section 382 of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as being (x) owned by such first Person (or by
a Person or group of Persons to which the securities owned by such first Person are
attributed pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(h)), or (y) owned by the same
“entity” (as defined in the second sentence of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-3(a)(1)(i))
as is deemed to own the securities owned by such first Person.

(e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(f) “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in the State of Wisconsin are authorized or obligated by law or

(k) “Exempt Person” means any Person (i) who (A) delivers to the Company a letter that,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, is substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C, or (B) is an Affiliate or Associate of another Person who delivers to
the Company a letter as described in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) whose beneficial
ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Shares would not, as determined (prior to
such Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of 5% or more of the Common Shares then
outstanding) by the Company in its sole discretion, jeopardize or endanger the availability
to the Company of the Tax Benefits; provided that such Person shall not be an Exempt Person
unless and until it, or its Affiliate or Associate who delivers a letter as described in
clause (i) above, has received written notice of such determination by the Company; provided
further that such Person shall cease to be an Exempt Person from and after the earlier of
such time (if any) as (I) in respect of the letter that such Person, or its Affiliate or
Associate, delivered pursuant to clause (i) above, a representation or warranty of such
Person, or its Affiliate or Associate, in such letter was not true and correct when made, a
representation or warranty of such Person, or its Affiliate or Associate, in such letter
that was to remain true and correct after the date of the letter as contemplated therein
ceases to remain true and correct or such Person, or its Affiliate or Associate, ceases to
comply with a covenant contained in such letter, or (II) such Person becomes the Beneficial
Owner of 10% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, other than any increase that is
a result of (x) an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company and/or (y) such Person
becoming the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares due solely to the occurrence of
one or more 2063 Debenture Adjustment Events (as such term is defined at the end of this
Section 1(k)) during the period in which the Company’s 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated
Debentures due 2063 (the “2063 Debentures”) are beneficially owned by such Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Grandfathered Person shall not be precluded from becoming
an Exempt Person (as defined in the preceding sentence, giving effect to this sentence)
prior to the time at which such Grandfathered Person would otherwise become an Acquiring
Person; provided that any Grandfathered Person that is or was a Grandfathered Person
pursuant to subsection (o)(iv) of this Section 1 may only become an Exempt Person if such
Grandfathered Person (1) reduced its Percentage Stock Ownership to less than 5% through one
or more dispositions of Common Shares, with the disposition that resulted in its Percentage
Stock Ownership being reduced to less than 5% involving as few shares as practicable without
the need for an odd lot transaction (such disposition(s), the “reduction below 5%”), and (2)
publicly reports in an amendment to a Schedule 13G the number of Common Shares beneficially
owned as a result of the reduction below 5%.

If any Person that had qualified as an Exempt Person ceases to so qualify, then for purposes
of Section 1(a) such Person shall be deemed to have become, as of the time the Person
ceased to qualify as an Exempt Person, a Beneficial Owner of the Common Shares that such
Person and such Person’s Affiliates and Associates then beneficially own. For the avoidance
of doubt, it is understood that the qualifications and exceptions in this Section 1(k) with
respect to 2063 Debenture Adjustment Events do not apply to Common Shares attributable to
2063 Debenture Adjustment Events that are delivered and

 

5

 

beneficially owned on conversion of 2063 Debentures. “2063 Debenture Adjustment Events”
means each of (a) effective as of each date on which the interest so deferred would have
been due and payable in the absence of such deferral, the Company deferring the payment of
interest on the 2063 Debentures, (b) effective as of each date on which such compounded
interest accrues, compounded interest on account of such a deferral, and (c) an increase
pursuant to the terms of the 2063 Debentures in the number of Common Shares that are
deliverable on conversion of the 2063 Debentures. Changes in the average price per Common
Share that affect the number of Common Shares deliverable on conversion of the 2063
Debentures shall be considered adjustments under the immediately preceding clause (c).

(l) “Exempt Transaction” means any transaction that the Board determines, in its sole
discretion and on such terms and conditions as the Board may in its sole discretion
prescribe, should have the consequences of an Exempt Transaction under this Agreement.

(m) “Expiration Date” means earliest of (i) Final Expiration Date; (ii) the time at
which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof (the “Redemption Date”);
(iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 hereof; (iv) the
repeal of Section 382 of the Code if the Board determines that this Agreement is no longer
necessary for the preservation of the Tax Benefits; and (v) the beginning of a taxable year
of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward.

(n) “Final Expiration Date” means the close of business on August 17, 2012, subject to
extension.

(o) “Grandfathered Person” means:

(i) any Person who does not qualify as an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the
Original Rights Agreement) immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Time and who
at the Amendment Effective Time is a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common
Shares outstanding at the Amendment Effective Time; provided that any such Person
shall cease to be a Grandfathered Person from and after such time (if any) as the
Person’s Percentage Stock Ownership shall be increased from such Person’s lowest
Percentage Stock Ownership at or after the Amendment Effective Time, other than any
increase pursuant to or as a result of (A) an acquisition of Common Shares by the
Company and/or (B) such Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of additional Common
Shares due solely to (x) such Person beneficially owning 2063 Debentures immediately
prior to the Amendment Effective Time and (y) during the period thereafter in which
the 2063 Debentures then beneficially owned continue to be beneficially owned by
such Person, the occurrence of one or more 2063 Debenture Adjustment Events;

(ii) any Person who (x) at the Amendment Effective Time is not a Beneficial
Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares outstanding at the Amendment Effective
Time and (y) if the definition of Acquiring Person did not

include an exclusion for any Grandfathered Person, would qualify as an
Acquiring Person after the Amendment Effective Time as a result of (I) an
acquisition of Common Shares by the Company and/or (II) such Person becoming the
Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares due solely to the occurrence of one or
more 2063 Debenture Adjustment Events during the period in which 2063 Debentures are
beneficially owned by such Person; provided that any such Person shall cease to be a
Grandfathered Person from and after such time (if any) as the Person’s Percentage
Stock Ownership shall be increased from such Person’s lowest Percentage Stock
Ownership on or after the date of the first occurrence of any event described in
clause (I) or (II), other than any increase pursuant to or as a result of (A) an
acquisition of Common Shares by the Company and/or (B) such Person becoming the
Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares due solely to the occurrence of one or
more 2063 Debenture Adjustment Events during the period in which 2063 Debentures are
beneficially owned by such Person;

(iii) any Person who (x) at all times on or prior to November 30, 2009 is not
and was not a Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding

Grandfathered Person, would qualify as an Acquiring Person on or after December 1,
2009 as a direct result of an acquisition or merger involving all or part of the
asset management business of a financial institution headquartered in the United
Kingdom that closes or is effective on or after December 1, 2009 but no later than
December 15, 2009 and has a transaction value in excess of $10 billion; provided
that any such Person shall cease to be a Grandfathered Person from and after the

a result of (A) an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company and/or (B) such

(iv) Any Person (and any Affiliate or Associate of such Person) who on November

and after the earlier to occur of (x) such time (if any) as such Persons become the
Beneficial Owner of a number of Common Shares that is more than the number of Common
Shares that such Persons beneficially owned at the close of business on December 3,
2009 or (y) February 16, 2010.

If any Person that had qualified as a Grandfathered Person ceases to so qualify, then for
purposes of Section 1(a) such Person and such Person’s Affiliates and Associates shall be
deemed to have become, as of the time the Person ceased to qualify as a Grandfathered
Person, a Beneficial Owner of the Common Shares that such Person and such Person’s
Affiliates and Associates then beneficially own. For the avoidance of doubt, it is

 

7

    THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
    (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as

    WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Revolving Promissory Note
    of even date herewith Bank Leumi USA (“Lender”)
    has made a loan to Asta in the original principal amount of Six
    Million and 00/100 ($6,000,000) Dollars (the
    “Loan”); and

 

    WHEREAS, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to
    Asta, Lender requested that GMS enter into (i) that certain
    Guaranty of even date herewith with Lender (the
    ”Guaranty”), (ii) that certain Account
    Control Agreement with the Lender and UBS Financial Services
    Inc. (the “Account Control Agreement”), and
    (iii) that certain Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge
    Agreement”) in favor of the Lender pursuant to which
    GMS granted Lender a security interest in all of its rights,
    title and interest in and to the Pledged Collateral (as defined
    in the Pledge Agreement); and

 

    WHEREAS, to induce GMS to enter into the Guaranty, the
    Account Control Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, and to be
    bound by the terms thereof, Asta has agreed to enter into this
    Agreement.

 

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing
    premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
    receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Asta
    hereby agrees as follows:

 

    1. Indemnification.  Asta hereby
    agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GMS and Feder and
    their respective members, managers, officers, directors,
    employees, agents, heirs, executors, successor
    and/or
    assigns (each an “Indemnified Party”) from all costs,
    demands, claims, liabilities, actions or causes of action,
    interests, penalties, damages, expenses, judgments or losses
    (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
    (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, in connection
    with, or in any way related to the Loan, the Guaranty, the
    Account Control Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, including
    without limitation, any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party
    as a result of the foreclosure of Lender’s security
    interest on the Pledged Collateral (with the value of the
    securities held by the Pledged Account (as defined in the Pledge
    Agreement) determined as of the date hereof).

 

    2. Payment of Expenses.  Asta
    agrees that it shall pay, within five (5) days after
    written demand, all

    earned, non-refundable fee in consideration of GMS’ entry
    into the Guaranty, the Account Control Agreement and the Pledge
    Agreement.

 

    4. Miscellaneous.

 

    (a) Binding Effect.  This Agreement
    shall be binding upon Asta and its successors and assigns
    (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its
