of the sale of the Target Shares and the Acquired Assets, Purchaser agrees to pay an amount of cash equal to $130,000,000, as

(b)                
Swedish Cash. As of the Closing, Seller shall cause there to be at least the Swedish
krona-equivalent of four million U.S. dollars ($4,000,000) of Cash (excluding cash equivalents and marketable securities) held

and, without duplication, (ii) any cash equivalents and marketable securities of Albany Door Systems AB shall be included in Closing
Net Cash.

(c)

engaged as expert and not as arbitrator, and its review shall be limited only to such items in the Post-Closing Statement as
are identified by the parties as being in dispute (it being agreed and understood that under no circumstances shall its
review extend to matters beyond those identified in Seller’s objections referred to above). The determination of any
accounting firm so selected shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy available to the parties for such dispute assuming that each of the parties is otherwise in
compliance with the terms of this Section 2.04. The determination of such accounting firm regarding any disputed item must be
within the range of values specified by the parties with respect to such item in the Post-Closing Statement and the related
Seller’s objections referred to above. The Post-Closing Statement shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the
resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.04 and as so agreed or so revised shall be final. 

(iii)                In
the event the parties submit any unresolved objections to an accounting firm for resolution as provided in Section
2.04(c)(ii) above, Purchaser and Seller shall share responsibility for the fees and expenses of the accounting firm as
follows: Seller shall pay the portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total of such fees and expenses multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount of the total items resolved by the accounting firm in favor of
Seller, the denominator of which is the entire dollar amount of the items submitted for resolution to the accounting firm,
and Purchaser shall be responsible for the remainder of the fees and expenses.

(iv)              
Seller shall make available to Purchaser and to Purchaser’s Representatives, at reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice, all documentation and access to personnel and Seller’s accounting firm as may be necessary
for Purchaser to prepare the Post-Closing Statement. In addition, each party shall make available to the other party and to such
other party’s Representatives and any independent accounting firm selected to resolve any disputes relating to the calculation
of the Closing Adjustment Amount as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, access
to personnel and to the work papers and other supporting documentation used by such party in the preparation of the Post-Closing
Statement or in arriving at the objections set forth in the notice of objection to the Post-Closing Statement, as applicable.

Closing Adjustment Amount. 

    	17

the Closing Adjustment Amount is positive, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such Closing Adjustment Amount by
wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the
Post-Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04(b) above. If any amount due for payment in accordance
with this Agreement is not paid on the due date for payment, Purchaser shall pay Default Interest on that sum from but
excluding the due date to and including the date of actual payment, calculated on a daily basis.

(ii)                 If
the Closing Adjustment Amount is negative, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such amount by wire transfer or
delivery of other immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Post-Closing
Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04(b) above. If any amount due for payment in accordance with this
Agreement is not paid on the due date for payment, Seller shall pay Default Interest on that sum from but excluding the due
date to and including the date of actual payment, calculated on a daily basis.

Section
2.05.

(d)                
For each director (or, for purposes of this clause (d), each member of a similar governing
body) of a Target Entity in office immediately prior to the Closing (including any directors designated to the board of directors
of Loading Bay by Seller) that has been designated for removal by Purchaser in writing to Seller at least five (5) Business Days
prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser either a resignation executed by such director or written evidence of removal
of such director, which resignations or removals shall be effective at the Closing, effective as of the Closing (and, for the purposes
of this clause (d), if any such director so required to resign is also an officer of, or individual with signing authority on behalf
of, any such Target Entity, the resignation contemplated hereby shall also cover such positions). 

Section
2.06.                        
Accounting. To the extent that after the Closing (a) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates
receives any payment that is a Retained Asset (or that arises out of a Retained Asset) or that is otherwise properly due and payable
to Seller or any of its Affiliates according to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
such amount to Seller and (b) Seller or any of its Affiliates receives any payment that is an Acquired Asset (or arises out of
an Acquired Asset) or is otherwise properly due and payable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates according to the terms of this

extent feasible, each party hereby undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to direct or forward all bills, invoices or
like instruments to the appropriate party. All amounts due and payable under this Section 2.06 shall be due and payable by the applicable party in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account

    	19

    	 	 

    
Section
2.07.                       
Purchase Price Allocation. (a) The parties agree that for purposes of Section 2.05(b)(i),
the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Asset Sellers and the Target Shares as set forth in Annex VI hereto (the “Pre-Closing
Allocation”). 

(b)                
After Closing that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Acquired Assets sold by
each Asset Seller in accordance with the Pre-Closing Allocation shall be further allocated among the Acquired Assets in accordance
with section 1060 of the Code. Seller shall provide Purchaser with any information reasonably requested and required to complete
IRS Form 8594 under section 1060 of the Code (“Form 8594”). Purchaser shall complete Form 8594 and furnish
Seller with a copy (the “Draft Allocation”) within sixty (60) days from the Closing Date. Seller shall review
the Draft Allocation and provide any objections to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof. In the event Seller
does not object to Purchaser’s Draft Allocation, such Draft Allocation shall be final (the “Final Allocation”).
If Seller raises objections to the Draft Allocation in the time period provided for above, the parties will negotiate in good
faith to resolve such objections. If the parties are unable to agree on the Draft Allocation within fourteen (14) days after Seller
raises such objections, the parties shall refer such dispute to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Section
2.07 Independent Accountant”), which Section 2.07 Independent Accountant shall make a final and binding determination
as to all matters in dispute with respect to the Draft Allocation (and only such matters) within thirty (30) days and promptly
shall notify the parties in writing of its resolution, which resolution shall be the Final Allocation. The Section 2.07 Independent
Accountant shall be engaged as expert and not as arbitrator, and its determination shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available
to the parties for such dispute assuming that each of the parties is otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.07. Each party
shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountant.

(c)                
Seller and Purchaser shall file Form 8594, reflecting the Final Allocation, with their respective
Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the date of the Closing.

(d)                
Purchaser and Seller each agree to file (or cause their respective Affiliates to file) all
Tax Returns, and execute such other documents as may be required by any Taxing Authority, in a manner consistent with the Pre-Closing
Allocation and the Final Allocation and to refrain from taking any position inconsistent with such agreed allocation with any Taxing
Authority, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax law or to take account of subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price.
If, contrary to the intent of Seller and Purchaser, any Taxing Authority makes or proposes an allocation different from that contemplated
in the Pre-Closing Allocation or the Final Allocation, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith to contest
such Taxing Authority’s allocation (or proposed allocation); provided, however, that, after consultation with
Seller or Purchaser, whichever is adversely affected by such allocation (or proposed allocation), the other may file such protective
claims or returns as may reasonably be required to protect its interest.

Section
2.08.                       
Designated Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time commencing after the
date of this Agreement and continuing until the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may, upon
prior written notice to Seller, designate one or more controlled Affiliates of Purchaser (whether or not existing as of the date
hereof), as a Designated Purchaser hereunder (each such designee, a “Designated Purchaser”).

    	20

    	 	 

    
The
designation contemplated hereby shall set forth the Acquired Assets or Target Shares such Designated Purchaser is to acquire at
the Closing. Upon the designation contemplated hereby, each Designated Purchaser shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for
purposes of this Agreement in connection with the acquisition of the applicable Target Shares and/or the applicable Acquired Assets
(and any reference to Purchaser herein in connection therewith shall automatically be deemed to be a reference to such Designated
Purchaser) and such Designated Purchaser shall automatically be assigned the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement necessary
in connection with such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such designation of a Designated Purchaser shall relieve
Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement if not performed by such Designated Purchaser.

Section
3.01.                       
Representations and Warranties of Seller. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule

Entities, their respective Subsidiaries and, to Seller’s Knowledge, Loading Bay have full corporate power and authority to

by each other party thereto, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Asset Seller or Target Entity, enforceable
against such party in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights,
and to general equitable principles).

equities, claims, and demands. There are no outstanding

not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give
rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a benefit under, or result in
the creation of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, upon any of the Acquired Assets or any properties or assets of any of
the Target Entities under, or give rise to any requirement to provide any notice under, any provision of (A) the

in such jurisdiction, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Purchaser and each of the Designated
Purchasers are duly authorized to conduct business and are in good standing, or of similar status, to the extent such status exists
under the laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the lack of such qualification has not had,
and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)                
Authority; Execution. Purchaser and each of the Designated Purchasers has (or, prior
to the execution thereof, will have) all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Ancillary

contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the execution and delivery by Purchaser

or a Designated Purchaser is, or will be, a party, will be, prior to the execution thereof), duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action of Purchaser and each Designated Purchaser and no other proceeding on the part of Purchaser or a Designated
Purchaser is or will be necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, the performance
of any such Person’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. This Agreement has been, and each Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser is, or will be, a party,
at the time of its execution and delivery will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and such Designated Purchaser
and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party thereto, will constitute a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Purchaser and each Designated Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser and the Designated Purchaser in accordance
with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and to general equitable principles).

    	39

    	 	 

    
(c)                 No

does not, and the execution and delivery of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or will be, a party, and the performance
by Purchaser and, upon designation, each Designated Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Liens, other than Permitted
Liens, upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, or give rise to any requirement to
provide any notice under, any provision of (A) the Governing Documents of Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser, (B)
assuming the consents, approvals and authorizations specified in Section 3.01(d) of the Disclosure Schedule have been
received and the waiting periods referred to therein have expired, and any condition precedent to such consent, approval,
authorization or waiver has been satisfied, any Law applicable to Purchaser and each Designated Purchaser or by which any
property or asset of Purchaser and each Designated Purchaser is bound or affected or (C) any material Contract to which
Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser, any Designated Purchaser or any of their respective
assets or properties is bound or affected.

(ii)                
The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser
or any Designated Purchaser is, or will be party, by Purchaser or such Designated Purchaser does not, and the performance of their
respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
will not, require any material consent, approval authorization, waiver or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental
Authority, except for applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any applicable non-U.S. antitrust, competition, trade regulation
or investment Laws.

(d)                
Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Action, citation, summons
or subpoena of any nature, civil, criminal, regulatory or otherwise, in law or in equity, pending or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge,
threatened, against or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Brokers’ Fees. Neither Seller nor its Affiliates following the Closing has or
shall have any liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements based on arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(f)                 
Adequate Funds. Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are not subject to any conditions
regarding Purchaser’s or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Purchaser has cash on hand or funds available under existing credit facilities sufficient

or implied representation or warranty with respect to Seller, the Target Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the
Business, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or with respect to any other information provided to Purchaser in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.02(g), the scope of the representations

(a)                 Except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein, including as may be set forth in this Section 4.03 and Section 4.04, and without
limitation and subject to the express terms of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) take, or procure to be taken, all such further or other actions as may be reasonably necessary,
desirable or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements,
including, with respect to Seller, to notify all entities

    	44

    	 	 

    
or
organizations required to be listed on Section 3.01(u)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the extent required, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their
respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation receiving all
authorizations, consents, orders and approvals necessary, proper or advisable to and make effective consummate the transaction
contemplated hereby. 

(b)                 To
the extent that any of the transfers, conveyances, deliveries or assumptions required to be made pursuant to Article II shall
not have been consummated at or prior to the Closing, each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to effect such consummation as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable and to provide the benefit of such
Contract to Purchaser in the manner described in Section 4.03(d) with respect to Contracts for which consent to assignment
has not been obtained prior to Closing. Each of the parties hereto will execute and deliver such further instruments of
transfer, conveyance and assumption and will take such other actions as Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time after Closing, at the reasonable request of Seller or
Purchaser, as the case may be, the parties will execute and deliver such further assurances, deeds, assignments,
consequences, powers of attorney and other instruments and papers, and take such action as Seller or Purchaser, as the case
may be, may reasonably request as necessary in order to effectively sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser
all of Seller’s right, title and interest to or in, all of the Acquired Assets and the Target Shares, to put Purchaser
in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit Purchaser to exercise all rights with respect thereto
(including rights under Contracts and other arrangements as to which the consent of any third party to the transfer thereof
shall not have previously been obtained) and for Purchaser to properly assume, become obligated to pay and discharge the
Assumed Liabilities.

(c)                
Seller hereby constitutes and appoints, effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser and its
Affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns, as the true and lawful attorney of Seller with full power of substitution
in the name of Purchaser, or in the name of Seller but for the benefit of Purchaser, (i) to collect for the account of Purchaser
any items of Acquired Assets and (ii) to institute and prosecute all proceedings which Purchaser may in its sole discretion deem
proper in order to assert or enforce any right, title or interest in, to or under the Acquired Assets or the Target Shares, and
to defend or compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof, in each case at the sole expense of Purchaser.
Purchaser shall be entitled to retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers, including any
amounts payable as interest in respect thereof.

(d)                
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute
an agreement to assign any Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such
assignment, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Acquired Asset
or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or Seller thereunder. Seller and Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder
for the assignment thereof to Purchaser as Purchaser may request. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted

    	45

    	 	 

    
assignment
thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that Purchaser would not in fact receive
all such rights, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser would obtain the
benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or
subleasing to Purchaser, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Seller’s
obligations, any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto. Seller will promptly pay to Purchaser when received all
monies received by Seller under any Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, except to the extent
the same represents a Retained Asset (and pending such payment shall hold all such monies in trust for Purchaser). 

(e)                
Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for a portion of the actual license fees for the licenses
set forth on Section 4.03(e) of the Disclosure Schedule equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the aggregate out-of-pocket fee for
such initial licenses, excluding any maintenance or subscription fees, and (ii) four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000). In addition,
Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for 50% of the aggregate actual out-of-pocket fees incurred by Purchaser for the assignment of
the License Agreement, dated December 1, 2004, by and between R-Bac Industries LLC and Epicor Software Corporation, to Purchaser
or one of its Affiliates. With respect to the proprietary Rapid Quote System and Service Planning Tool software applications,
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Source Code in accordance with a mutually agreed upon delivery method, together with one
(1) copy of the relevant Software Documentation in printed form and one (1) copy in a reproducible electronic form; in each case
to the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates has such documentation within its possession or control.

merger control filing or other notification in respect of antitrust or competition Laws is voluntary or optional, and will also
not seek informal guidance from the Antitrust Authorities in any other jurisdiction with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

(b)                
Purchaser and, where required by Law, Seller shall at their own expense make each Agreed Notification

reasonably necessary to proceed with the relevant Agreed Notification (“Filing Date”); provided, however,
that Purchaser shall be responsible for any filing or other fees payable to any Agreed Antitrust Authority in connection with such
Agreed Notifications. Notwithstanding Section 4.04(a) and the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.04(b): (i) for the
purpose of fulfilling the condition in Section 7.01(a)(ii) with regard to New Zealand, Purchaser shall submit, on or prior to the
Filing Date, a courtesy letter to the New Zealand Commerce Commission (“NZCC”) informing the NZCC of the transactions
contemplated hereby and the parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts

achieve satisfaction of the condition set out in Section 7.01(a)(ii)(x), and only if the indication referred to in Section 7.01(a)(ii)(x)
is not received from the NZCC to the parties’ mutual reasonable satisfaction within fourteen (14) working days from the
submission of such courtesy letter to the NZCC, or any longer period reasonably agreed by the parties in light of potential requests
by the NZCC for additional information, then Purchaser shall either immediately waive the condition in 7.01(a)(ii) or immediately
take all reasonable steps to promptly lodge an application for clearance under Part V of the Commerce Act of New Zealand 1986
for the implementation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) for the purpose of fulfilling the condition in Section
7.01(a)(iii) with regard to Australia, Purchaser shall, on or prior to the Filing Date, submit a courtesy letter to the Australian
Competition & Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) informing the ACCC of the transactions contemplated hereby and
the parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to achieve satisfaction of the condition set out in Section 7.01(a)(iii)(x)
and only if the condition in Section 7.01(a)(iii)(x) is not satisfied within fourteen (14) working days from the submission of
the courtesy letter to the ACCC, or any longer period reasonably agreed by the parties in light of potential requests by the ACCC
for additional information, Purchaser shall either immediately waive the condition in Section 7.01(a)(iii) or promptly take all
reasonable steps to make an application for informal clearance for the implementation of the transactions contemplated hereby
with the ACCC. 

(c)                
Subject to the terms hereof, the parties agree to cooperate and to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, all assurances or approvals sought
pursuant to the Agreed Notifications and to respond to any Agreed Antitrust Authority’s request for information thereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate
each and every impediment under any antitrust or competition Law that may be asserted by any Agreed Antitrust Authority or any
other party so as avoid the issuance of a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material under the HSR Act, the opening
of phase II or in-depth examinations (where applicable) or a statement of objections or prohibition order (or equivalents) by any
Agreed Antitrust Authority, and to obtain all required approvals or statements of non-objection by the Agreed Antitrust Authorities
so as to enable the parties to close the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in any case prior to the
Termination Date.

(d)                
Notwithstanding Section 4.04(c), except as otherwise agreed between the parties, nothing herein
shall require Purchaser to: (a) sell, license, waive any rights in or to, or to dispose of, divest of or otherwise hold separate
or in trust any part of the assets or business of Purchaser, the Business, the Target Entities or the Acquired Assets; (b) otherwise
enter into any type of agreement, arrangement or undertaking, including a consent decree, with any Person (including any Agreed
Antitrust Authority); or (c) litigate against any Person (including any Agreed Antitrust Authority) or otherwise oppose any motion
or action for a temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunction against the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)                
Subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, (i) Purchaser will permit Seller to review
in advance drafts of each notification to be made to the Agreed Antitrust Authorities (including courtesy letters to be sent to
the NZCC and the ACCC) and will consult with counsel for Seller, consider in good faith the views of Seller and incorporate Seller’s
reasonable comments, (ii) each party will promptly notify the other party of any written or oral

    	47

    	 	 

    
communication
to that party from any Antitrust Authority and, subject to Law, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written
communication to any such Antitrust Authority and will consult with counsel for the other party, consider in good faith the views
of the other and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments, (iii) each party will furnish the other party promptly
with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications with any Antitrust Authority with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) each party shall inform the other of any meetings scheduled with any Antitrust
Authority and afford the other the possibility to attend such meeting; provided, however, that if either Seller
or Purchaser believes that any such communication to or from an Antitrust Authority contains (or in the case of a meeting is likely
to involve discussion of) commercially sensitive information that it is unwilling to provide to the other party, it will be sufficient
for Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to provide a copy of such communication (or an opportunity to attend such meeting)
to the other party’s outside counsel.

under the Transition Services Agreement shall be reduced by such amount, and (ii) in the case of any other Services so terminated,
monthly cost reductions related to such Services as shall be agreed by Purchaser and Seller prior to the Closing Date, following
good faith negotiations, such that upon termination of such other Services, the monthly fees payable by Purchaser under the Transition

of clause (iii), (x) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of competing operations so acquired within
twelve (12) months following the completion of such acquisition (provided that the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period
shall not relieve Seller of the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to divest such competing business) and (y) Seller
agrees (I) to notify Purchaser of the intended divestiture and (II) to negotiate on a good faith basis for the period of thirty
(30) days immediately following the closing of such acquisition transaction a sale to Purchaser of the competing operations. After

in any manner from selling all or a portion of such competing operations to any other Person. 

(b)                 If

scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or
unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing
the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after

accrue or otherwise relate to any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) beginning or deemed to begin after the close of
business on the Closing Date and (y) any Taxes described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 4.20(b)(i).

(ii)                
Seller shall be responsible for any Taxes that accrue or otherwise relate to any taxable
year or period (or portion thereof) ending or deemed to end at or before the close of business on the Closing Date payable by
the Target Entities and their Subsidiaries; provided that, Seller shall not be liable to the extent that (a) a provision
or reserve in respect of that Tax (or loss caused by such Tax) has been made in the Closing Working Capital, (b) such Tax liability
is expressly and specifically included in the Business Financial Statements, (c) such Tax liability is a direct result of an action
or omission by the Purchaser, its transferee or their Affiliates outside of the ordinary course of business after the Closing
(other than an action or omission expressly required by applicable Law) or (d) such Tax liability is a direct result of an action
or omission by Seller or its Affiliates before the Closing at the express written direction of the Purchaser. Purchaser shall
be responsible for (x) any Taxes payable by the Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries that accrue or otherwise relate to
any taxable year or period (or portion

    	55

    	 	 

    
thereof) starting or deemed to start after the close of business on the Closing Date and
(y) any Taxes described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 4.20(b)(ii).

(iii)               
Apportionment. For purposes of this Section 4.20(b), in order to appropriately apportion
any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, the parties hereto agree that (a) real, personal property, intangible property and similar
ad valorem Taxes for any Taxable period prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated on a daily basis and (b) all Taxes that are
based on net income, gross receipts, sales, gains, manufactured dividends paid or received, and similar items for such period
shall be computed based on an actual closing of the books as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing
Date with respect to the relevant Tax.

(iv)               Tax
Refunds. Any refunds of Tax that are actually received by the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries after the Closing
Date or are allowed as a credit or offset that satisfies a liability for Tax to which Purchaser or the Target Entities or any
of their Subsidiaries would otherwise be obligated to pay, in each case, that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be
for the account of Seller; except that (i) any such refund of Tax that is attributable to the carryback of a loss deduction,
credit or other Tax relief arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period and (ii) any such refund of Tax is included in the
calculation of Closing Working Capital shall be the exclusive account of the Purchaser. Any refund of Taxes or credits
against Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Tax Periods in
accordance with Section 4.20(b)(iii). Any Tax refunds that are received by Seller, and any amounts credited against Tax
to which Seller becomes entitled, that relate to Taxes of the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries for Post-Closing Tax
Periods shall be for the account of Purchaser and the Target Entities. Each Party shall pay over to the other Party (i) any
such cash refund within ten (10) days after receipt thereof and (ii) the amount of Tax savings realized by the respective
party at the time the Tax Return to which such credit relates is filed by the party responsible for the filing of such Tax
Return.

(v)                 
 Tax Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify each Seller Indemnified Party against and
hold it harmless from Taxes for which Purchaser is liable under Section 4.20(b)(i) and Section 4.20(b)(ii). Seller and each other
Asset Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnified Party against and hold it harmless from Taxes for which either Seller
or another Asset Seller is liable or responsible under Section 4.20(b)(i) and Section 4.20(b)(ii). Any amount due under this Section
4.20(b)(v) shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party makes written demand on the Indemnifying
Party. Any such payment shall be treated for all relevant Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. The obligation to
indemnify any Indemnified Party under this Section 4.20(b)(v) shall terminate sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of the Tax
from which the claim for indemnification arose unless the party seeking indemnification gives notice of the claim on or before
the date when the obligation otherwise would terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement, including the limitations on survival of claims provided for in Section 6.03 and limitations on liability
provided in Section 6.04, shall not apply to any indemnification obligation under this Section 4.20(b)(v).

    	56

    	 	 

    
(c)                
Tax Returns.

(i)                  
Pre-Closing Returns. Seller shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all Tax Returns
required by applicable law to be filed (A) by the Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries or (B) with respect to the Acquired
Assets, for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”)
and shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Taxing Authorities)
of such Tax Returns.

(ii)                
Post-Closing Returns. Purchaser shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared all Tax
Returns required by applicable law to be filed (A) by the Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries or (B) with respect to the
Acquired Assets, for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”)
and shall be responsible for the timely filing (taking into account any extensions received from the relevant Taxing Authorities)
of all such Tax Returns.

(iii)                Straddle
Period Tax Returns. In the case of any Tax Return required to be prepared by Purchaser following the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 4.20(c)(ii) with respect to a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (each a
“Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, for its review and comment as soon as reasonably
practicable (but in the case of Income Tax Returns not less than ninety (90) days) prior to the applicable filing deadline
(taking into account applicable extensions), a copy of the Tax Return proposed to be filed for the Straddle Period (a
“Straddle Period Tax Return”) together with a proposed calculation, in accordance with Section
4.20(b)(iii) above, of the Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that occurs prior to and including
the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”). Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and
accurate, and shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless a different
treatment of any item is required by an intervening change in law. Purchaser shall accept and reflect any comment that Seller
submits to Purchaser no fewer than ten (10) business days prior to the due date of such Straddle Period Tax Return, so long
as such comment is not manifestly unreasonable and is consistent with the basis on which prior Tax Returns have been prepared
and filed.

(d)                
Contest.

(i)                   Notification.
Unless Purchaser has previously received written notice from Seller of the existence of a Contest, Purchaser shall give
written notice to Seller of the existence of any Contest relating to Taxes that are or may be Seller’s responsibility
under this Agreement within ten (10) days from the receipt by Purchaser of any written notice of such Contest, but no failure
to give such notice shall relieve Seller of any liability hereunder except to the extent, if any, that the rights of Seller
with respect to such claim (including pursuant to Section 4.20(d)(ii)) are actually prejudiced. Unless Seller has previously
received written notice from Purchaser of the existence of such Contest, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser of the
existence of any Contest within ten (10) days from the receipt by Seller of any written notice of such Contest, but no
failure to give such notice shall relieve Purchaser of any liability hereunder except to

    	57

    	 	 

    
the extent, if any,
that the rights of Purchaser with respect to such claim (including pursuant to Section 4.20(d)(ii)) are actually prejudiced.

(ii)                
Control of Contest. 

(A)               
Seller shall, at its election, have the right to represent the Target Entities’ interests
or any of their Subsidiaries’ interests, as the case may be, in any Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, employ
counsel of its choice at its expense and to control the conduct of such Contest. Seller shall have the right to settle or dispose
of any such Contest, provided that such settlement shall not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser or the Target Entities
for a Post-Closing Tax Period and shall not authorize a change in accounting methods or periods that has the effect of shifting
an item of income or gain from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a Post-Closing Tax Period or of shifting an item of deduction, credit
or loss from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and provided that Seller shall consult with Purchaser regarding
any such Contest and shall allow Purchaser to participate in any such proceeding (at its own cost and expense).

(B)                Subject
to Section 4.20(e) Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of any other Contest in its sole discretion with
respect to any other Tax matter not covered in the foregoing sentence or clause (i) above. In the case of any Contest with
respect to a Straddle Period, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly represent their interests in any such Contest, each shall
employ counsel of their own choice and shall cooperate with the other and the other’s Representatives in a prompt and
timely manner in connection with any such Contest. The parties shall mutually agree on any settlement or other disposition of
the Contest. In the event Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree regarding any aspect of the conduct of any such Contest,
such disagreement shall be considered a dispute for purposes of Section 4.20(f) and shall be resolved in accordance
therewith.

(e)                 Tax
Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser agree to take commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished to
each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance
relating to the Target Entities, their Subsidiaries or the Acquired Assets, as is reasonably requested for the filing of any
Tax Returns, for the preparation of, and for the prosecution or defense of any Contest or any Tax audit, including executing
and delivering such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section
4.20(e). Any information obtained under this Section 4.20(e) shall be kept confidential except (i) as may be
otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other
proceeding or defending any Tax claim, or (ii) with the consent of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be. Purchaser shall
make available to Seller such Tax Returns and information as reasonably required by Seller to comply with its obligations
under this Agreement. The Target Entities, Seller and Purchaser agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax
matters pertinent to each of the Target Entities and their Subsidiaries until expiration of the statute of limitations (and,
to the extent notified by Purchaser or Seller, any

    	58

    	 	 

    
extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority
and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and
records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records. 

(f)                 
Post-Closing Tax Covenant. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including,
after the Closing, the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries) shall, without the prior written consent of Seller, take any action
(including, without limitation, making or changing any Tax election of or with respect to the Target Entities, any of their Subsidiaries
or the Acquired Assets that is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period, amending, re-filing
or otherwise modifying (or granting an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to) any Tax Return of the
Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries or with respect to the Acquired Assets, that relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period
or Pre-Closing Straddle Period) that could result in any increased Tax liability of the Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries
(or Seller or any of its Affiliates) or a reduction in any Tax asset in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle
Period. Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, take any action in a Contest that Seller controls pursuant
to Section 4.20(d)(ii)(A) that could result in any increased Tax liability of Purchaser, the Target Entities or any of their Subsidiaries
or Affiliates, or a reduction in any Tax asset in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Period or portion of the Straddle Period that
occurs after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent (written or otherwise) shall be required for either party
to take an action affecting Tax liability or a Tax asset if that action is required by applicable Law as finally determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction or the relevant Taxing Authority. Any disputes about the proper treatment of a Tax liability
or Tax asset under applicable Law may be submitted for arbitration pursuant to Section 4.20(g). For the avoidance of doubt, any
consent to an action under this Section 4.20(f) shall not prejudice a claim for indemnification under Section 6.02.

(g)                
Tax Matter Dispute. If, after negotiating in good faith, Purchaser and Seller are
unable to reach an agreement relating to any tax matter under this Section 4.20, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent
nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Arbitrator”), chosen and mutually acceptable to such parties within
five (5) business days of the date on which the need to select such a Arbitrator arises. The Arbitrator shall resolve any disputed
items within fifteen (15) business days of having the item referred to it, pursuant to such procedures as it may require.
The parties shall promptly act to implement the decision of the Arbitrator. The costs, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall
be borne equally by each Party unless the Arbitrator determines that a party’s position was unreasonable or not in good
faith. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.20(g) shall govern any dispute related to a Tax matter.

Section
4.21.                       
Insurance. With respect to events or circumstances occurring prior to the Closing Date,
if such event or circumstance results in a loss in respect of which neither party is entitled to indemnification under Article
VI arising from or relating to the Acquired Assets, the Business, the Target Entities or the Assumed Liabilities, which loss is
insured under an Insurance Policy, Purchaser shall be entitled (a) to receive
the benefit of any insurance proceeds received by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing in respect of claims
filed prior to Closing, net of actual costs incurred by Seller in connection with such loss and (b)
to require Seller to file post-Closing claims under such Insurance Policy for losses

    	59

    	 	 

    
occurring
prior to Closing, provided, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this clause (b) in excess of 16%
of the coverage limit under such Insurance Policy for the policy year applicable to such claims. In the case of clause (b), Purchaser’s
recovery under such claim shall be net of any costs that Seller can reasonably demonstrate would be incurred by Seller or any
of its Affiliates arising from or relating to such claim. 

Section
4.22.                       
Intellectual Property License. The Asset Sellers hereby grant to the Purchaser, and
shall cause their Affiliates to grant (to the extent necessary), with effect from Closing, a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual,
irrevocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable (except as set forth below), fully paid-up and royalty-free license to use, modify,
or adapt the Retained Intellectual Property, solely for the purpose of conducting the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser may transfer or sublicense the rights granted under this Section 4.22 to an acquirer of the Business or a portion thereof
and may sublicense to Affiliates and third party contractors; provided that (x) an assignee or a sublicensee, as applicable,
signs a written sublicense agreement; (y) Purchaser timely provides the identity of each such assignee or sublicensee and a copy
of each sublicense to the Asset Sellers; and (z) Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of all such assignees and
sublicensees as if such performance were conducted by the Purchaser (except for such assignees who acquire all or substantially
all of the assets of the Business). For purposes of this Section 4.22, “Retained Intellectual Property” means
any Intellectual Property owned by any of the Asset Sellers as of the Closing that has been used in and is necessary for the conduct
of the Business as it is conducted as of the Closing, other than the Transferred Intellectual Property and excluding any Trademarks.

Article
V

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS; LABOR MATTERS

Section
5.01.                        Employment.
No later than 10 days prior to, and effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make offers of employment to each Asset
Seller Employee. Seller agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist with the communication of offers of
employment to and the hiring of Asset Seller Employees and shall encourage Asset Seller Employees to accept such offers of
employment. Seller shall refrain from taking any action to dissuade any Asset Seller Employee from accepting an offer of
employment with the Purchaser, including but not limited to making any representation to Asset Seller Employees, prior to the
first Business Day immediately following the Closing Date, that Asset Seller Employees shall retain employment with Seller or
its Subsidiaries after Closing Date; provided that in no event shall Seller be required to take any action or refrain from
taking any action if and to the extent that taking or failing to take any such action would reasonably be expected to cause
Seller to be liable for any severance payments to any Business Employee pursuant to applicable Law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01, for Asset Seller Employees located in non-U.S. jurisdictions for whom the
transfer of employment mechanism described above would be inconsistent with local requirements (each, a “Non-U.S.
Asset Seller Employee”), employment shall transfer through assumption of employment contracts or otherwise in
compliance with such requirements. Section 5.01 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the manner in which the employment of
each Non-U.S. Asset Seller Employee is intended by Purchaser and Seller to be transferred. All Asset Seller Employees who
accept such offers of employment and become employed by Purchaser or whose employment is transferred to

    	60

    	 	 

    
Purchaser
automatically by operation of Law upon the Closing or pursuant to the mechanism set forth in Section 5.01 of the Disclosure Schedule,
shall be referred to as “Acquired Employees.” Any Asset Seller Employee, excluding those Asset Seller Employees
who are offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to the mechanisms described in Section 5.01 of the Disclosure Schedule, who performs
work as directed by Purchaser or its respective Affiliates at his or her then applicable place of employment in the Business on
the first Business Day immediately following the Closing Date shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have accepted
the offer of employment and to be an Acquired Employee for all purposes of this Agreement and Seller shall cause the relevant
Asset Sellers to terminate the employment of each such Asset Seller Employee. Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall, and shall
cause the relevant Asset Sellers to terminate, effective as of the Closing Date, the employment of each Asset Seller Employee
who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment and whose employment does not otherwise transfer automatically by operation
of law to Purchaser. Seller and relevant Asset Sellers shall waive, to the extent necessary, all rights to enforce any restrictive
covenants, including non-competition agreements, against Asset Seller Employees to the extent that any such restrictive covenants
would impair the ability of Asset Seller Employees to whom Purchaser has made an offer of employment in compliance with the terms
and conditions of Section 5.02 to accept employment from the Purchaser or its respective Affiliates and to perform all required
job duties. 

Section
5.02.                       
Post-Closing Benefits.

(a)                 Except
as otherwise required by Section 5.01 of the Disclosure Schedule in respect of the Non-U.S. Asset Seller Employees or where
it would be inconsistent with local requirements, Purchaser shall cause the offers of employment pursuant to Section 5.01 or,
where applicable, the continuation of employment with the Target Entities, to provide for base salary or wages and annual
bonus opportunity that are no less favorable than those in effect for each such Transferred Business Employee immediately
prior to the Closing Date, and employee benefits for the Transferred Business Employees that are no less favorable in the
aggregate than those provided as of the date hereof by the Seller Benefit Plans set forth in Section 3.01(t)(ii) of the
Disclosure Schedule (excluding for purposes of determining the aggregate value of such employee benefits, any restricted
stock unit and other equity or equity-type compensation arrangements, any retiree medical or other retiree
welfare arrangements of Seller or its Affiliates, and any change of control, retention, bonus, success or similar payments
arising solely in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement other than severance benefits arising in
connection with a termination of employment) (collectively, the “Employment Terms”). The Employment Terms
shall be determined exclusively based on the compensation and benefits documentation provided by Seller to Purchaser as of
the date hereof (and, with respect to compensation, but not benefits except as expressly set forth below, updated through the
Closing Date), and shall not include any Seller Benefit Plan unless it is still applicable to the Business Employees
immediately prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein requires the provision of any specific
benefit or type of benefit, except as required by Law. In the case of any Transferred Business Employee whose terms and
conditions of employment are subject to collective bargaining or other collective labor representation, Purchaser shall cause
each such offer of employment (or, where applicable, the continuation of employment) to have such terms and conditions of
employment as may be required under applicable Law or any applicable collective bargaining or other collective labor
agreement. 

    	61

    	 	 

    
(b)                
From the Closing Date until December 31, 2012, Purchaser will continue to provide each Transferred
Business Employee who remains employed by Purchaser or its respective Affiliates with Employment Terms that are the same or more
beneficial to such Acquired Employee as those provided in the offer of employment or, for the Target Entity Transferring Employees,
in effect immediately after the Closing.

(c)                 If
and to the extent not paid prior to Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, pay the bonus
for the 2011 year under Seller’ or its Affiliates’ annual incentive plans to Transferred Business Employees who
were covered under those plans immediately prior to Closing and who (i) continue to be employed by Purchaser or its
Affiliates as of March 15, 2012, or (ii) whose employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates is involuntarily terminated (other
than for cause) prior to March 15, 2012. The amount to be paid by Purchaser or its Affiliates to such Transferred
Business Employees shall be an amount equal to 100% of the annual target bonus applicable to each such Transferred Business
Employee under Seller’s respective annual incentive plans, as set forth in Section 5.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedule.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay more than one million
U.S. dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to the portion of 2011 bonus accrued as of the Closing Date, unless and to the extent
any additional 2011 bonus amount is included in the adjustment to Closing Net Cash.

(d)                
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not alter the at-will
nature of any Transferred Business Employee’s employment (with the exception of Transferred Business Employees whose terms
and conditions of employment are provided for in any collective bargaining agreement). Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict,
limit or interfere with the ability (after the Closing Date) of Purchaser or its respective Affiliates to terminate the employment
or, except as specifically set forth in Section 5.02(a), to modify the terms, conditions or duties of employment of any Transferred
Business Employee.

Section
5.03.                       
Participation in Purchaser Benefit Plans. 

(a)                
Effective as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in this Article V, each Transferred
Business Employee shall cease to participate in any Asset Seller Benefit Plan. Effective from and after the Closing, Purchaser
shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, establish or have in effect employee benefit plans for the benefit of the
Transferred Business Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) in accordance with the requirements of this Article V.

(b)                
Purchaser shall credit the Transferred Business Employees for their service with Seller and
its Affiliates to the same extent recognized by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date for all purposes
(including eligibility, vesting, and eligibility waiting periods, but excluding benefit accruals) under the employee benefit plans,
agreements, policies or other arrangements or, to the extent required by Law, any statutory benefit entitlements maintained, contributed
to or required to be provided by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which any such Transferred Business Employees participate
post-Closing, except to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits. 

Section
5.04.                       
Welfare Plan Liability.

    	62

    	 	 

    
(a)                
Seller shall be responsible for providing those welfare benefits (including workers’
compensation) in effect for Transferred Business Employees as of the Closing Date, to Acquired Employees for all claims incurred
and unpaid and benefits earned on or prior to the Closing Date, under and subject to the generally applicable terms and conditions
of the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which such employees were entitled to participate prior to the Closing
Date, as amended from time to time. Purchaser shall be responsible for providing welfare benefits (including workers’ compensation)
to Transferred Business Employees for claims incurred and benefits earned after the Closing Date under and subject to the generally
applicable terms and conditions of Purchaser’s employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements, as amended from time to
time. For purposes of this Section 5.04, a claim shall be deemed to be incurred on the date that the event that gives rise to
such claim occurs, except that any claim that relates to a continuous period of hospitalization shall be deemed to be incurred
at the commencement of such period of hospitalization. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and for purposes of clarification,
a claim for disability benefits (or workers’ compensation) shall be deemed to be incurred at the time that the event that
gives rise to the disability (or compensable injury) occurs, and the responsibility for all future benefits payable with respect
to such disability (or compensable injury) shall be determined based on the date on which such event occurs.

(b)                
With respect to any Purchaser employee benefit plan that is a medical, dental, other health,
life insurance or disability plan (collectively, the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”), to the extent permitted by
the applicable Purchaser Welfare Plan, Purchaser shall, (i) waive or cause to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions and
requirements that would result in a lack of coverage of any pre-existing condition of a Transferred Business Employee (or any dependent
thereof) that would have been waived or covered under the Seller Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Business Employee (or any
dependent thereof) was a participant immediately prior to the Closing Date, and credit or cause to be credited any time accrued
against applicable waiting periods relating to such pre-existing conditions and (ii) waive any health eligibility, actively
at work or medical examination requirements under the Purchaser Welfare Plans to the same extent such requirements would have been
waived or satisfied under the applicable Seller Benefit Plan in which the Transferred Business Employee was a participant immediately
prior to the Closing.

Section
5.05.                 
Severance and Retention Payments

(a)                
Seller shall be responsible for any liabilities or obligations relating to any severance payments,
solely arising as a result of the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to
Asset Seller Employees who do not accept Purchaser’s offer of employment, provided that Purchaser’s offers of employment
follow the mechanism and contain the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of this Agreement for those Asset
Seller Employees whose employment does not transfer to Purchaser automatically by operation of Law. Purchaser will take all necessary
action, in consultation with Seller, to avoid the imposition of severance in any jurisdiction where Asset Sellers are located.

(b)                 With
respect to each Business Employee, Seller shall be responsible for any liabilities or obligations relating to the items set
forth on Section 5.05(b) of the Disclosure Schedule; provided that Seller shall not be responsible for any such liabilities
or obligations after

    	63

    	 	 

    
the
Closing Date to the extent any such liabilities or obligations are included in the calculation of the Indebtedness.  

Section
5.06.                 
Union Employees and Plans

(a)                
Effective as of the Closing Date, with respect to any of the non-U.S. Transferred Business
Employees, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, (i) recognize each collective bargaining or other labor
representative then representing any such Transferred Business Employees, and (ii) assume each such collective bargaining or other
collective labor agreement covering such Transferred Business Employees or the terms and condition of employment of such Transferred
Business Employees. From and after the Closing Date, with respect to any of the non-U.S. Transferred Business Employees, Purchaser
shall assume, honor, pay and perform all of the Liabilities and obligations under or in respect of each such collective bargaining
or other collective labor agreement in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or
as the same may thereafter be amended in accordance with its terms, including all such Liabilities and obligations of Seller.

(b)                
Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and take all reasonably necessary or appropriate actions
with respect to any requirement under applicable Law or any applicable agreement to notify the collective bargaining or other labor
representatives of the non-U.S. Transferred Business Employees of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, including
any applicable works council, and to provide such information and engage in such notifications, discussions or negotiations with
such representatives as may be required by applicable Law or any applicable agreement.

Section
5.07.                       
COBRA. Seller shall be responsible for all legally mandated continuation of health
care coverage for all Transferred Business Employees and any of their covered dependents who experience a qualifying event occurring
on or prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all legally mandated continuation of health care coverage for
all Transferred Business Employees and any of their covered dependents who experience a qualifying event occurring following the
Closing Date.

the retiree medical or other retiree welfare arrangements of Seller or its Affiliates to any Acquired Employee located in the United
States who became eligible for such benefits prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of such arrangements as in
effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, or would have become eligible for such benefits during the three (3) year period
following the Closing Date assuming such Acquired Employee remained employed in eligible service by Seller or its Affiliates and
provided that any such Acquired Employee in fact continues in employment with Purchaser for the period that would have been sufficient
had such Acquired Employee been employed by Seller or its Affiliates to receive such benefits, subject to changes or amendments
of such terms, or termination of such benefits, which apply to all similarly-situated employees of Seller who receive such benefits.

Section
5.09.

    	64

    	 	 

    
as
of the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause its tax-qualified defined contribution plan for U.S. employees
to allow each Transferred Business Employee who has one or more account balances in the Seller 401(k) Plan to make a “direct
rollover” of such account balances (including promissory notes evidencing any outstanding loans but otherwise in cash) from
the Seller 401(k) Plan if such Transferred Business Employee elects to make such a rollover. 

Section
5.10.                       
Asset Seller Benefit Plans. Seller shall retain all of the obligations and liabilities
under all Asset Seller Benefit Plans (including for clarity any equity plan or program), except for any benefits required to be
provided by Law. All Transferred Business Employees shall cease participation in the Asset Seller Benefit Plans (other than as
required by Law) effective as of the Closing Date. Seller shall remain responsible for ensuring the payment of benefits to the
Transferred Business Employees pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan documents.

period prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall notify Seller of any “employment loss” (as that term is defined in the
WARN Act or applicable state Laws) of any Transferred Business Employees in the 90-day period following Closing.

Section
5.12.                        Update
to Employee Schedule. As of a reasonable date prior to the Closing, to be determined by Seller, but in no event later
than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser revised Sections 1.01(k), 1.01(xxx) and
3.01(t)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule to reflect hiring or other status changes and attrition as it relates to Asset Seller
Employees, Target Entity Transferring Employees and Business Key Employees, setting forth, as of the most recent date
practicable, each Asset Seller Employee, Target Entity Transferring Employee and Business Key Employee; provided that
Purchaser’s receipt of such revised Disclosure Schedules shall not shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect
any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller or Purchaser, respectively, in this Agreement or
Purchaser’s or Seller’s respective right to indemnification hereunder, and shall not be deemed to amend or
supplement the Disclosure Schedule.

Section
5.13.                       
No Third Party Beneficiaries. 

(a)                 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision under this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall
(i) constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective
Affiliates, (ii) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (iii)
except as set forth in Section 4.01(b)(xii) and 4.01(b)(xv), alter or limit Purchaser’s, Seller’s or any of their
respective Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or
arrangement. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to the
Acquired Employees are included for the sole benefit of Purchaser, Seller and their respective Affiliates, and that nothing
in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other
Person, including, any current or former employee, any participant in any

    	65

    	 	 

    
existing benefit plan or arrangement of Purchaser,
Seller or their respective Affiliates or any dependent or beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with Purchaser,
Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b)                
If (i) a Person other than the parties hereto makes a claim or takes other action to enforce
any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement of Purchaser, Seller
or any of their respective Affiliates and (ii) such provision is deemed to be an amendment to such employee benefit plan, program,
agreement or arrangement of any Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, even though not explicitly designated
as such in this Agreement, then, solely with respect to such plan, program, agreement or arrangement, such provision shall lapse
retroactively and shall have no amendatory effect with respect thereto.

Section
5.14.

Section
6.04.                       
Limitations of Liability. 

(a)                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable under (i) Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) hereof for any
individual claim if the Indemnifiable Loss thereunder is less than $50,000 (the “Claim Threshold”), (ii)
Section 6.02(b) hereof until the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses recoverable under Section 6.02(b) exceeds
$1,000,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only for amounts over the Deductible, and (iii) Section 6.02(b)
hereof for any Indemnifiable Losses where Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 6.02(b)
exceeds $19,500,000.

(b)                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable under (i) Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) hereof for
any individual claim if the Indemnifiable Loss thereunder is less than the Claim Threshold, (ii) Section 6.01(b) hereof until
the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses recoverable under Section 6.01(b) exceeds the Deductible and then only for amounts
over the Deductible, and (iii) Section 6.01(b) hereof for any Indemnifiable Losses where Purchaser’s aggregate liability under Section 6.01(b) exceeds $19,500,000.

Section
6.05.                       
Net Losses; Set Off. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
amount of any Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i)
any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from an unaffiliated insurance carrier with
respect to such Indemnifiable Losses, (ii) any net Tax benefits (taking into account any Tax costs) actually recognized by the
Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Indemnifiable Loss by the Indemnified
Party and (iii) any actual recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any third party in respect
of such Indemnifiable Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain proceeds, benefits and recoveries
referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified
Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses after an Indemnifying Party (or such Affiliate) shall
have made a payment to the Indemnified Party under this Article VI, the Indemnified Party shall return the amount of such proceeds,
benefits or recoveries to the Indemnifying Party (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment and taking into account
any net Tax cost to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries and the return of such payment
(or a portion thereof) to the Indemnifying Party). No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party
more than once in

    	68

    	 	 

    
respect of the same Indemnifiable
Loss. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any right to set off any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VI against
any payment due pursuant to Article II or any Ancillary Agreement, except as set forth in Section 6.07.

Section
6.06.                       
Procedure for Indemnification. 

(a)                
Notice of Third Party Claims. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification for any
Indemnifiable Loss or potential Indemnifiable Loss arising from an Action by a third Person against such Indemnified Party (a “Third
Party Claim”) shall give written notice to the relevant Indemnifying Party thereof specifying in detail the nature of
such Third Party Claim and the amount of related Indemnifiable Losses. Written notice to the relevant Indemnifying Party of a Third
Party Claim shall be given by the Indemnified Party reasonably promptly after notice to such Indemnified Party of the potential
claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be foreclosed from seeking indemnification pursuant
to this Article VI by any failure to provide such reasonably prompt notice of the existence of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying
Party and such failure shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified
Party, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has been materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such delay.

(b)                
Defense. Except as otherwise provided herein, an Indemnifying Party may elect to defend,
at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnified
Party of its intent to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized (but not obligated) at any
time after giving notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim but prior to receiving such notice from the Indemnifying
Party to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnified Party or its counsel deem
reasonably necessary to protect the Indemnified Party’s interests. If any Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Third
Party Claim, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to do so as herein provided, or otherwise abandons the defense
of such Third Party Claim, (and during any other period in which an Indemnifying Party has been given a reasonable opportunity
to assume, but has not assumed, the defense of such Third Party Claim) then (i) the Indemnified Party may (without prejudice to
any of its rights against an Indemnifying Party), compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and (ii) the reasonable costs and
expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection therewith shall be indemnifiable as “Indemnifiable Losses”
by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall be required to agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim (1) that relates
to the imposition of monetary damages only, (2) that the Indemnifying Party has recommended, (3) that by its terms obligates the
Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim (without regard to any limitations
otherwise applicable hereunder), (4) that releases the Indemnified Party completely and (5) that would not otherwise adversely
affect the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the

    	69

    	 	 

    
defense
of any Third Party Claim (but shall nonetheless remain liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified
party in defending such Third Party Claim as part of the “Indemnified Losses” hereunder) if the Third Party Claim is
reasonably likely to result in the imposition of: (i) monetary damages in excess of 200% of the Indemnifying Party’s
then remaining maximum liability hereunder or (ii) an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than
money damages against the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Action (to the extent such
Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification in respect thereof) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Action, the
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any Representatives or Information that are reasonably necessary
or appropriate for such defense and such Representatives shall, when appropriate, furnish evidence, testimony and other assistance
in connection with any such claim. In any event, except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Parties may each participate, at its or their own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that if in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest or differing
defenses between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified
Party determines counsel is required (and such amounts shall be deemed “Indemnifiable Losses” hereunder).

(c)                
Certain Third Party Claims. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time, in the
reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, notice of which shall be given in writing to the Indemnifying Party, any such Third
Party Claim is asserted by a Person that is a customer or supplier of the Business or seeks injunctive relief which relates to
the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, profits or financial condition of the Indemnified Party (including,
in the case of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Acquired Assets, the Target Shares and the Assumed Liabilities from the Closing
Date), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control or assume (as the case may be) the defense of any such Third Party
Claim and the amount of any judgment or settlement and the reasonable costs and expenses of defense (with the reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses of one counsel) shall be included as “Indemnifiable Losses” hereunder, provided that in such
event no settlement in respect of such Third Party Claim shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnified Party elects to exercise such right, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, but
not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(d)                 Miscellaneous.
The procedures set forth in Section 6.06(c) shall apply solely with respect to Third Party Claims and shall not be deemed to
apply to, or otherwise affect or limit, an Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article VI with respect to any claim
other than a Third Party Claim.

(e)                
Notice of Non-Third Party Claims. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification for
any Indemnifiable Loss or potential Indemnifiable Loss arising from a claim for indemnification asserted by such Indemnified Party
against an Indemnifying Party other than a Third Party Claim (a “Non-Third Party Claim”) shall give written
notice to the relevant

    	70

    	 	 

    
Indemnifying Party specifying in detail the nature of such Indemnifiable Loss or potential Indemnifiable
Loss and the reasons such Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Written notice to the Indemnifying
Party of the existence of a Non-Third Party Claim shall be given by the Indemnified Party reasonably promptly after the Indemnified
Party becomes aware of the potential claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be foreclosed
from seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article VI and by any failure to provide such reasonably prompt notice of the existence
of a Non-Third Party Claim to the relevant Indemnifying Parties and such failure shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party, except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying
Party actually incurs an incremental out-of-pocket expense or otherwise has been damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Section
6.07.                       
Holdback Matters; Payment of Indemnifiable Losses.

(a)                
To the extent that any Indemnifiable Losses of a Purchaser Indemnified Party are not paid
by Seller within ten (10) Business Days of the date that such amounts become payable following a Final Resolution, Purchaser shall
be entitled to recover such amount from the Holdback Amount, in which case the Holdback Amount, to the extent sufficient, shall
be deemed reduced in an amount equal to such Indemnifiable Loss and such Indemnifiable Loss shall be discounted to the extent
of the reduction of the Holdback Amount. For purposes of this Section 6.07, “Final Resolution” means (i) a
final, non-appealable order or judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that resolves the particular dispute, including
any such final, non-appealable order or judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that orders that Purchaser is entitled
to recover monetary damages under the terms of this Agreement or (ii) a written agreement executed by Purchaser and Seller that
resolves any dispute arising under, in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,
including any such written agreement that specifies that Purchaser is entitled to recover monetary damages under the terms of
this Agreement.

(b)                
Release at Release Date. On the Holdback Release Date, Purchaser shall pay in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller the then-remaining Holdback Amount (after taking into account
any reduction thereof made pursuant to Section 6.07(a) above) minus the aggregate of: (i) amounts then agreed upon by Purchaser
and Seller with respect to any claims for Indemnifiable Losses asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in accordance with
this Agreement in respect of which payment has not yet been made (or the Holdback Amount has not yet been reduced) and (ii) the
aggregate amount, if any, of all Indemnifiable Losses claimed in good faith by any Purchaser Indemnified Party that are either
unresolved (as between Purchaser and Seller for the purposes of this Agreement) or disputed by Seller, as set forth in any written
notice from Seller to Purchaser. Upon a final determination that any portion of the Holdback Amount retained pursuant to clause
(ii) above did not constitute Indemnifiable Losses due to be paid to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder, Purchaser shall
pay such amount to Seller in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.07(b), together with Default Interest on such
amount.  

Section
6.08.                       
Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing,
except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article VI shall
be the exclusive remedy of

    	71

    	 	 

    
Purchaser
and Seller. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall limit the right of either party to seek equitable remedies to enforce any covenant
of a party to be performed after the Closing. 

Section
6.09.                       
Purchase Price Adjustment. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made
pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by
applicable Law.

Section
6.10.                       
Tax Indemnity. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article VI shall
not apply to either party’s rights and obligations under Section 4.20(b)(v).

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section
8.01.                       
Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
this Agreement shall be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned, as follows:

(a)                
by mutual written consent of each of Seller and Purchaser to terminate this Agreement;

(b)                
by either Purchaser or Seller if the Closing has not been consummated prior to April 27, 2012
(the “Termination Date”);

(c)                 by
written notice of Seller, if Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform
(1) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03 and (2) is not cured within thirty (30) days following
written notice to Purchaser, or which by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period;

(d)                 by
written notice of Purchaser, if Seller shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or other

    	74

    	 	 

    
agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform
(1) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02 and (2) is not cured within thirty (30) days following
written notice to Seller, or which by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period; or

(e)                
by either Purchaser or Seller if any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any party
hereto shall have issued any order, decree, ruling or injunction or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such order, decree, ruling or injunction or
other action shall have become final and nonappealable or if there shall be adopted any law or regulation that makes consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited.

Section
8.02.                        Ability
to Terminate; Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) neither Purchaser nor Seller
may terminate the Agreement if such party’s failure to perform in any material respect any of its obligations or
covenants, or the inaccuracy of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement has been the principal cause of
the event or condition giving rise to the right of termination and (b) Purchaser shall not be permitted to terminate the
Agreement (i) under Section 8.01(b) unless, at the time of such termination, the condition contained in Section 7.01(a) shall
have been satisfied or (ii) under Section 8.01(e) if the basis for such order, decree, ruling or injunction or other action
shall be applicable antitrust, competition or trade regulation Laws. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with
Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except that
(x) Section 4.09, Section 4.13, this Article VIII and Article IX shall remain in full force and effect and (y) any
termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability for fraud or any intentional breach of its
obligations hereunder.

Section
8.03.                       
Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed

time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements
or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed
by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this
Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section
9.02.                       
Interpretation. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation 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.

Section
9.03.                       
Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated
hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section
9.04.                       
Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral,
among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof other than the Confidentiality Agreement. Subject
to Section 2.08, neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by either of the
parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.

Section
9.05.                       
Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit
of each party hereto, and, except as set forth in Article VI, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or
shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section
9.06.                        Submission
to Jurisdiction. All Actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined
in the Federal Courts in the Southern District of New York and the state courts of the State of New York, County of New York,
and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Action or
proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such
Action or proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 9.06 shall not constitute general

    	77

    	 	 

    
consents to service of
process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not
be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon
such party in any Action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by
overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 9.01 of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment
in any such Action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict
any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court
judgment.

Section
9.07.                        Specific
Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be
an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of
this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in
accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other
equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof
in the courts described in Section 9.06 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which they are entitled under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an
injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party hereto has an adequate
remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this
Section 9.07 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may
have to require such bond or security, in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section
9.08.                       
Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection
with this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Schedules. There may be included in the Disclosure Schedule items and information that

Annex V

Working Capital Principles

Working Capital Accounting Principles Used by ADS

Prepaid Expenses:

A prepaid expense is an item paid and recorded in advance of its
use or consumption in the business, part of which represents expense of the current period and part of which represents an asset
on hand at the end of the period.

The portion of prepaid items in excess of 12 months should be classified
as Other Assets.

Accounts Payable:

Accounts payable includes all liabilities for goods received from
or services performed by non-AI companies and for which an invoice has been received. These liabilities include amounts withheld
from employee wages and salaries, and employer liabilities which are based on wages and salaries.

Examples include but are not limited to:

Accounts payable - trade

Amounts withheld from employees pay:

Contributions

Savings (401-K)

Taxes

Employer liabilities relative to wages and salaries
paid

Commissions payable

Value added tax

Advance payments from customers Nonfunctional
currency payables must be revalued at the end of each month using the current exchange rate issued by AI Headquarters. It is AI
policy to make an accrual at each quarter-end for routine expenses (i.e. office supplies, subscriptions, travel, electricity, telephone,
etc) in cases where the invoices have not been received before the quarter-end. These accruals are considered accrued AP and should
be reversed after the quarter-end and then analyzed and made again during the next quarterly close.

Accrued Liabilities:

This balance represents estimated liabilities recorded for income
statement timing purposes and are expected to be paid within 12 months. Accrued liabilities should not include items for which
invoices have been received.

Examples of accrued liabilities include but
are not limited to:

Advertising

Bonuses

Commissions

Holiday pay

Payrolls

Property taxes

Social costs, other than those withheld from
employee's pay

    	4

    	 	 

    
Travel expenses

Turnover/sales tax

Vacation pay

Medical and dental

Interest

Fees

Profit sharing

Returns and allowances

Warranties

Customer discounts and rebates

Customer volume bonuses

Restructuring

Restructuring is a program that is planned and
controlled by management, and materially changes either the scope of a business undertaken by an entity, or the manner in which
that business is conducted.

Restructuring costs include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Involuntary employee termination benefits
pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement that, in substance, is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred
compensation contract

b. Costs to terminate a contract that is not
a capital lease

c. Other associated costs, including costs to
consolidate or close facilities, relocate employees, and non-capitalizable equipment relocation costs.

d. Defined benefit pension plan-related items,
such as curtailments, settlements or special termination benefits.

Accounts receivable:

Trade accounts and notes receivable are amounts due from customers
for shipments or services rendered on or before the balance sheet date with terms of less than 12 months. Unless a customer has
specifically authorized billing and requested that merchandise be held for future delivery, amounts should be recorded after shipment.
Trade receivables denominated in currencies other than an entity's functional currency must be revalued at the end of each month
at the current exchange rate issued by AI Headquarters.

Other receivables include amounts due within 12 months from entities
and individuals other than customers and other AI operations. Other receivables include but are not limited to items such as interest,
dividends, rent, claims against transportation companies and insurance companies, scrap sales, income taxes, royalties, value added
tax, etc.

 

A reserve for doubtful accounts represents an amount determined
to be potentially uncollectible from customers. The balance should be comprised of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves
are calculated on individual customer accounts based on past experience and the customer's current financial condition. General
reserves are calculated excluding the accounts that relate to specific reserves and applying an historical loss rate to the remaining
balance.

Inventories:

Inventory balances (raw material, work-in-process, and finished
goods) are required to be stated at the lower of cost or market value.

    	5

    	 	 

    
Work in process and finished goods inventories must be valued on
a full absorption of fixed manufacturing costs (FMC), unless there are special circumstances. The allocation of FMC to inventory
should be accomplished by developing a rate by work center in relationship to labor and setup rates. The burden percentage rate
should normally be used to apply Fixed Manufacturing Costs. In some exceptional instances it may be appropriate to use the item
overhead absorbtion method as an alternative.

Inventories are fully reserved for items that have not had any movement
in two years.

Revenue Recognition

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the earnings
process be complete prior to recognition of a sale. The earnings process is complete:

evidence of an arrangement (contract) exists

delivery has occured

selling price is fixed

collectibility is reasonably assured

if acceptance by the customer is not conditional
and there are no contingencies

if there is a definitive payment plan, for example

-net 30, 60, 90 days

-30 days after installation

-payment due a specified number of months from
invoice date if the fabric is not installed

if title has been transferred and the customer
bears the risk of loss if the product is damaged or destroyed

if the customer is able to and will confirm
the amount due as an account receivable

If all of the above requirements are met, a
sale should be recorded.

Quarterly closing procedures must include a review to determine
whether revenue recognition must be delayed on any shipments. Any adjustment needed must be recorded in the general ledger before
submission of the Day 4 financial statements.

Effective January 2011, in instances where installation or similar
services (eg. Door Division) are included in the contract for the sale of goods, revenue and related gross profit must be allocated
to those separate revenue elements and recognized as each deliverable is completed. The amount of revenue recognized for each revenue
element (door delivery/installation) must be based on the fair value.

3.Executive
may accept this Agreement only by signing, dating and delivering the Agreement to Albany (in the manner set forth in Section 34)
on or before Albany’s normal close of business on November 23, 2011. Time is of the essence with regard to
this Section 3. 

4.Executive
may revoke this Agreement at any time within seven (7) days after signing and delivering it to Albany by notifying Albany in writing
(in the manner set forth in Section 34) of Executive’s decision to revoke. Time is of the essence with regard to this
Section 4. 

5.The

the Agreement in accordance with Section 3 above, unless Executive revokes the Agreement in accordance with Section 4 above. If
Executive revokes this Agreement in accordance with Section 4 above, this Agreement will not become operative and will not be
binding on Executive or Albany. 

6.Executive’s

of any earlier termination pursuant to paragraph 7 or 8, Executive resigns all offices, directorships and any other positions
held with Albany or any of Albany’s subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their employee benefit plans or trusts. 

7.Nothing
herein is intended to alter the at-will nature of Executive’s employment relationship with Albany. Albany reserves the right
to terminate Executive prior to January 1, 2012 with or without cause. For the purposes of this paragraph
7, “Cause” shall be deemed to exist if he Executive has 

	(a) 		been convicted of a felony; 

	(b) 		caused substantial harm to the Company with intent to
do so, or as a result of gross negligence in the performance of his duties, except in cases involving Executive’s mental
or physical incapacity or disability; 

	(c) 		not made a good faith effort to substantially perform
and carry out his duties as Executive, except in cases involving Executive’s mental or physical incapacity or disability;
 

	(d) 		wrongfully and substantially enriched himself at the
expense of the Company; 

	(e) 		engaged in fraud, material dishonesty, or gross misconduct
in the performance of his duties as Executive; 

	(f) 		engaged in unlawful conduct that may reasonably be considered
to reflect negatively on Albany or compromise the effective performance of Executive’s duties as determined by Albany in
its sole discretion; 

    	Page 2 of 14

    	 	 

    
	(g) 		willfully violated Albany’s Business Ethics Policy or any other Albany policy
that may reasonably be considered to reflect negatively on Albany or compromise the effective performance of Executive’s
duties as determined by Albany in its sole discretion; 

	(h) 		wrongfully and without the prior express written consent of Albany, by its CEO or
his authorized designee, engaged in any business or activity, either on his own or as an employee, which is deemed to be in competition
with Albany’s business; 

	(i) 		breached any of the terms of this Agreement. 

8.Executive
reserves the right to voluntarily terminate his at-will employment with Albany with or without cause at any time prior to January
1, 2011. 

9.From
the date hereof until the date Executive’s employment with Albany terminates (either as of the Separation Date or earlier),
Executive shall continue to perform the duties of his current position and assist in the transition of his duties as directed
by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. Executive further covenants and agrees to respond, for a reasonable
time thereafter not to exceed twelve months, to any inquiries from Albany regarding incomplete or unresolved transitional matters.
During the remainder of Executive’s employment with Albany, Albany shall continue to pay Executive at his current rate of
compensation less (i) applicable withholdings and deductions required by law or otherwise agreed to by the parties, (ii) deductions
of premiums due for any health care or life insurance coverage provided by or through Albany, (iii) 401(k) savings plan or other
Albany benefit plan contributions and (iv) any other applicable withholdings. During the remainder of Executive’s employment
with Albany, Executive will be eligible to receive the same package of employee benefits to which he is currently entitled, provided,
however, that Albany reserves the right to modify, supplement, amend or eliminate the standard benefits provided to its employees,
including, without limitation, the eligibility requirements and/or premiums, deductibles, co-payments or other charges relating
thereto. 

10.Executive
agrees that on or after the last date of his employment with Albany he shall execute an additional release in the form annexed
hereto (the “Supplemental Release”) covering the period from the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement
through his last date of employment. Executive covenants and agrees that the obligations to be performed by Albany under this
Agreement after the last date of Executive’s employment shall be contingent upon the execution of the Supplemental Release.
Failure to execute the Supplemental Release, however, will not affect the validity of the release contained in paragraph 16 of
this Agreement. 

11.In
addition to performing the current duties of his position, Executive shall assist Albany in its efforts of communicating with
third-parties interested in entering into a transaction for the purchase and sale of Albany’s Albany Door Systems business
segment (hereinafter “Interested Parties”). For the purposes of this agreement, Albany Door Systems business segment
(hereinafter the “ADS business segment”) shall be defined to include all assets and 

    	Page 3 of 14

    	 	 

    
liabilities carried on Albany’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet at the time of the Transaction relating to the manufacture and sale of high speed overhead doors. Executive’s efforts
shall be undertaken in his capacity as an employee of Albany and nothing herein shall be deemed to create a principal-broker/agent
relationship. 

12.At
the termination of Executive’s employment by Albany, either on January 1, 2012 or earlier, for any reason but Cause as defined
in paragraph 7 of this Agreement, and after the irrevocability of this Agreement, Albany agrees to provide Executive with the
following severance benefits to which he would not otherwise be entitled. Executive acknowledges and agrees that these severance
benefits constitute adequate legal consideration for the promises and representations made by him in this Agreement, and are in
lieu of any benefits payable under any severance plan now in existence or adopted prior to the Separation Date. 

	(a) 		Albany will pay Executive the gross sum of $34,525 per month for a period of twenty-four
(24) months following the Separation Date (the “Severance Period”) for a total of $828,600. The aforesaid monthly
payments (the “Severance Payments”) shall be made by check, or direct deposit, on or about the 15th day
of the month and will begin after the Separation Date and after this Agreement becomes irrevocable and continue on or about the
15th day of every month thereafter until paid in full (and may contain pro rata payment for any partial month). In
the event Executive dies before the last Severance Payment is made hereunder, the balance of such payments shall be paid to his
spouse or, if he shall have no such spouse at that time, to his estate. 

	(b) 		During the Severance Period, should Executive elect, pursuant to the protections afforded
by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, to continue group health care coverage as is from time to time provided
by or through Albany to other eligible employees, Albany shall pay the then applicable required contribution for the first eighteen
(18) months of the Severance Period, or until Executive terminates such coverage, whichever shall occur first. 

	(c) 		Albany reserves the right, in accordance with the terms of its applicable employee
benefit plans, to modify, supplement, amend or eliminate the coverages described in subparagraph (b) above, including, without
limitation, the eligibility requirements and/or premiums, deductibles, co-payments or other charges relating thereto. 

	(d) 		Albany shall pay Executive for any accrued, unused vacation pursuant to existing corporate
policy at Executive’s last rate of salary, less applicable withholdings and deductions required by law or otherwise agreed
to by the parties. Said payment shall be made at the first normal pay date following the Separation Date. 

	(e) 		Any stock options that have been previously awarded to Executive shall be treated
in accordance with the terms of Albany’s stock option plan under which such options were awarded as if Executive’s
separation was an involuntary 

    	Page 4 of 14

    	 	 

    
termination.
Any restricted stock units that have been previously awarded to Executive shall similarly be treated in accordance with the terms
of the plans under which such restricted stock units were granted as if the separation was an involuntary separation. 
All such stock options and restricted stock units shall continue vesting to and including the Separation Date. 

	(f) 		To compensate Executive for any forfeited benefits under Albany’s Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan, Albany shall pay Executive an additional $1,750.00 on or about the 15th day of each month
during the Severance Period for a total of $42,000, provided however, that the first six of such monthly payments shall be delayed
and paid as a lump sum of $10,500 on the first regularly-scheduled payroll date following the sixth month anniversary of Executive’s
Separation Date. 

	(g) 		Albany shall pay Executive an additional $183,375 in one lump sum on the first regularly-scheduled
payroll date following the sixth month anniversary of Executive’s Separation Date to compensate Executive for the loss of
unvested restricted stock units which had been awarded to Executive under a special executive retention incentive and which would
otherwise be forfeited as a result of his termination. 

	(h) 		To assist Executive in obtaining new employment, Albany shall make available and bear
the cost of outplacement services to be provided by Lee Hecht Harrison. Said services will be provided for a period of up to eighteen
(18) months following the Separation Date, or until Executive finds suitable employment, whichever occurs first. 

	(i) 		Effective as of the Separation Date, or such earlier date as Executive’s employment
may be terminated in accordance with paragraph 7 or 8, hereof, Executive will no longer be an employee of Albany, and will cease
to accrue benefits under any pension, deferred compensation, 401(k), profit-sharing or other Albany employee welfare benefit plan. 

	(j) 		Executive acknowledges and agrees that, except for this Agreement, Executive would
have no right to receive all of the benefits described above. 

	(k) 		Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event Executive’s employment is
terminated by Albany for Cause as defined in this Agreement before the Separation Date, then he shall not be entitled to any of
the severance benefits described in this Paragraph 12, excepting only payment for any accrued, but unused vacation referred to
above in subparagraph “(d).” If Executive’s duties are substantially completed before the Separation Date, however,
and Executive is released by Albany before the Separation Date to pursue other interests not in competition with Albany’s
business or otherwise in violation of the restrictive covenants set forth in paragraph 18 of this Agreement, Executive shall not
forfeit 

    	Page 5 of 14

    	 	 

    
and
shall remain entitled to receive all of the severance benefits described in this paragraph 12. 

13.In
the event Albany succeeds in consummating a transaction resulting in the sale of the ADS business segment (hereinafter a “Transaction”)
on or before March 31, 2012 (the actual date of consummation hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”), and provided
Executive is employed by Albany as of the Closing Date, Albany will to pay Executive a success fee equal to $207,152.00. Albany
shall pay the Success Fee in one installment within 60 days following the Closing Date. 

14.All
payments which become due to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable withholdings and deductions
required by law or otherwise agreed to by the parties. 

15.As
used in this Agreement, the term “Albany” means, individually and collectively, Albany, each subsidiary, parent company
or affiliate of Albany, and their respective employee welfare benefit plans, employee pension benefit plans, successors and assigns
as well as all present and former shareholders, directors, officers, fiduciaries, agents, representatives and employees of those
companies and other entities. 

16.Subject
to Executive’s right to revoke stated in paragraph 4 above, by signing this Agreement, Executive immediately gives up and
releases Albany from, and with respect to, any and all rights and claims that Executive may have against Albany, whether or not
Executive presently is aware of such rights or claims. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing: 

	(a) 		Executive on behalf of himself, his agents, spouse,
representatives, assignees, attorneys, heirs, executors and administrators, fully releases Albany and Albany’s past and
present successors, assigns, parents, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents
and representatives from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, grievances, debts, sums of
moneys, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, back and front pay, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and remedies
of any type, which Executive now has or hereafter may have, by reason of any matter, cause, act or omission arising out of or
in connection with Executive’s employment or the termination of his employment with Albany, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any claims, demands or actions arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
the Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, and any other federal, state or local statute, ordinance or common law of any state regarding employment, discrimination
in employment, or the termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive is not waiving any right that cannot,
as a matter of law, be voluntarily waived, including the right to file or participate in the adjudication of a claim of discrimination
filed 

    	Page 6 of 14

    	 	 

    
with
any state or federal administrative agency, though Executive expressly waives any right to recover monetary damages as a result
of any claim filed with any state or federal administrative agency. 

The
foregoing release includes, but is not limited to, any claim of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, marital status,
sexual orientation, national origin, handicap or disability, age, veteran status, special disabled veteran status, citizenship
status; any other claim based on a statutory prohibition; any claim arising out of or related to an express or implied employment
contract, any other contract affecting terms and conditions of employment, or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing; all
tort claims; and all claims for attorney’s fees or expenses. 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this release shall not prevent Executive from receiving any compensation earned but not yet paid prior to the Separation
Date, any compensation or benefits set forth in this Agreement, or any benefit to which Executive would otherwise be entitled
under an existing Albany benefit plan, including: claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Separation Date under
Albany’s expense reimbursement policy; benefits under any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); benefits under the Workers Compensation Law for injuries
occurring on or before the Separation Date; and benefits under any statutory disability plan. 

Executive
represents that he or she understands the foregoing release, that rights and claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, as amended, are among the rights and claims against Albany he or she is releasing, and that he or she understands
that he or she is not releasing any rights or claims arising after the date Executive signs this Agreement. 

	(b) 		If Executive breaches any obligation under this Agreement,
Executive agrees that Albany shall not be obligated to continue to make payments under paragraph 12, and to reimburse Albany for
any and all payments previously made pursuant to paragraph 12. This shall not apply to any payment for any accrued, but unused
vacation referred to in paragraph 12(d). 

	(c) 		Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall be deemed
a waiver of any vested rights or entitlements Executive may have under any retirement or other employee benefit plans administered
by Albany. Nor shall anything in this Agreement operate to release Albany from its obligations under this Agreement. 

17.This
Agreement does not constitute an admission by Albany of any liability to Executive, and Executive understands and agrees that
Albany denies any such liability to Executive. 

    	Page 7 of 14

    	 	 

    
18.Executive
acknowledges the highly competitive nature of Albany’s business and in recognition thereof agrees as follows: 

A.During
the Severance Period, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation or other business, organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”),
Executive shall not directly or indirectly, without the prior express written consent of Albany, by its CEO or his authorized
designee,  

(i)
engage in any business or activity, either on his own or as an employee, which is deemed to be in competition with Albany’s
business (a “Competitive Business”);

(ii)
enter into the employ of, or render any services to, any Person in respect of any Competitive Business;  

(iii)
acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly,
as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; provided, however, that in
no event shall ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation, in and of itself, be deemed a violation
of this covenant if such capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter
market; or  

(iv)
interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, any business relationships (whether formed before or after the Termination Date)
between Albany or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and their customers, clients, suppliers or investors.  

B.During
the Severance Period, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, Executive shall
not directly or indirectly: 

(i)
solicit or encourage any employee of Albany or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave the employment of Albany or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or 

(ii)
hire any such employee who was employed by Albany or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as of the Termination Date or, if later,
within the six-month period prior to such date of hire. 

It is expressly understood and agreed that although the parties
consider the restrictions in this Paragraph 18 to be reasonable, if a final determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this paragraph is an unenforceable restriction against Executive,
the provisions of this paragraph shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory
and to such maximum extent as such court may determine to be enforceable.

    	Page 8 of 14

    	 	 

    
19.Executive
acknowledges that as a consequence of his employment with Albany proprietary and confidential information relating to Albany’s
business may be, or have been, disclosed to or developed or acquired by Executive which is not generally known to the trade or
the general public and which is of actual or potential value to Albany (“Proprietary Information”). Such Proprietary
Information includes, without limitation, information about trade secrets, inventions, patents, licenses, research projects, costs,
profits, markets, sales, customer lists, proprietary computer programs, proprietary records, and proprietary software; plans for
future development, and any other information not available to the trade or the general public, including information obtained
from or developed in conjunction with a third party that is subject to a confidentiality or similar agreement between Albany and
such third party. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his relationship with Albany with respect to such Proprietary Information
has been and shall be fiduciary in nature. Consequently, during the remainder of, and after, his employment by Albany, Executive
shall not use any Proprietary Information for his own benefit, or for the benefit of any other person or entity or for any other
purpose whatsoever other than the performance of his work for Albany, and Executive shall maintain all such information in confidence
and shall not disclose any thereof to any person other than employees of Albany authorized to receive such information. This obligation
is in addition to any similar obligations Executive may have pursuant to any other agreement, statute or common-law. Nothing herein,
however, shall preclude Executive from describing his duties with Albany in future job interviews. 

20.Executive
specifically agrees and covenants that he will not directly or indirectly disparage Albany or any subsidiary or affiliate of Albany,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or representatives, or any of their respective products or
services in any manner, at any time, to any person or entity. “Disparage” is defined as, but not limited to, any utterance
whatsoever either verbal, in writing, by gesture or any behavior of any kind that might tend to or actually harm or injure Albany
or any subsidiary or affiliate of Albany, whether intended or not. 

21.Albany
specifically agrees and covenants that it will not directly or indirectly disparage Executive in any manner, at any time, to any
person or entity, and agrees that any third parties, including but not limited to prospective employers or other third parties
inquiring about Executives employment and/or the reasons for his separation from employment with Albany will be directed to Albany’s
CEO or Counsel, or their designees. 

22.Executive
shall forfeit any unpaid amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and shall, upon demand, repay any amounts already paid hereunder
if, after the Termination Date: 

(i)
there is a significant restatement of Albany’s financial results, caused or substantially caused by the fraud or intentional
misconduct of Executive; 

(ii)
Executive breaches any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants set for in paragraphs 10, 18,
19, 20 and 22; 

    	Page 9 of 14

    	 	 

    

(iii)
Albany discovers conduct by Executive that would have permitted termination for Cause as defined in this Agreement, provided that
such conduct occurred prior to the Termination Date. 

23.Executive
and Albany understand and agree that (a) the existence and terms of this agreement are strictly confidential; (b) they will not
disclose the terms of this agreement to any third party, unless requested to do so by any state, federal or local regulatory,
prosecutorial or administrative agency or body of competent jurisdiction, or court of competent jurisdiction. However, nothing
herein shall (1) preclude Executive from discussing the contents hereof with his family, accountant, tax adviser or legal advisor,
and doctors, or (2) preclude Albany from informing any third parties, including prospective employers, that Executive is bound
by the restrictive covenants set forth in paragraphs 18 and 19 hereof. 

24.Albany
and Executive agree that a breach by Executive of the provisions in paragraphs 18, 19 and 20 of this Agreement may cause irreparable
harm to Albany which will be difficult to quantify and for which money damages will not be adequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees
that Albany shall have the right to obtain an injunction against Executive, without any requirement for posting any bond or other
security, enjoining any such breach or threatened breach in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Albany on account
of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. 

25.This
Agreement and the exhibits hereto constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, including without limitation, that certain Severance
Agreement entered into by the parties effective August 5, 2009 and executed by Executive on July 22, 2009. This Agreement may
not be amended or modified except in a written instrument executed by both Albany and Executive. This Agreement shall not
be construed as giving Executive any legal or equitable right not otherwise specifically provided for herein. 

26.This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including
any corporation with which or into which Albany may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however,
that the obligations of Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him. 

27.It
is the intent of the parties that this Agreement provides payments and benefits that are either exempt from the distribution requirements
of Section 409A of Code, or satisfy those requirements. Accordingly, the Agreement shall be interpreted and performed so as to
be exempt from Section 409A, but if that is not possible, the Agreement shall be interpreted and performed so as to comply with
Section 409A. In the event any payments or benefits are deemed by the IRS to be non-compliant, this Agreement, at Executive’s
option, shall be modified, to the extent practical, so as to make it compliant by altering the payments or the timing of their
receipt. The methodology to effect or address any necessary modifications shall be subject to reasonable and mutual agreement
between the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that (i) a distribution of benefits
is subject to Section 409A, (ii) at

    	Page 10 of 14

    	 	 

    
the
time the distribution would otherwise be made to Executive, Executive is a “specified employee” (as that term is defined
in the final regulations under Section 409A), and (iii) the distribution would otherwise be made during the 6-month period commencing
on the date of Executive’s separation from service, then such distribution will instead be paid to Executive in a lump sum
at the end of the 6-month period. The foregoing delay in the distribution of benefits shall be made in conformance with the final
regulations under Section 409A.  

If
under this Agreement, an amount is paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated
as a separate payment. All reimbursements for costs and expenses under this Agreement shall be paid in no event later than the
end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such expense. With regard to any provision herein
that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) the right
to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible
for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year. 

28.Albany
and Executive intend for every provision of this Agreement to be fully enforceable. But, if a court with jurisdiction over this
Agreement determines that all or part of any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable for any reason, Albany and Executive
intend for each remaining provision and part to be fully enforceable as though the unenforceable provision or part had not been
included in this Agreement. 

29.This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to any provisions
thereof relating to conflict of laws. 

30.Executive
and Albany each agree that if an action is commenced by any party alleging breach of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party
shall be liable to the prevailing party for any and all available legal and equitable relief, as well as reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs associated with pursuing or defending such legal action. 

31.The
parties agree that they have waived their right to a jury trial with respect to any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, or arising out of or relating to the employment of Executive, or the
termination thereof, including any claims under federal, state, or local law, and that any such controversy, claim, or dispute
shall be heard and adjudicated in either a state or federal court sitting in Albany County, New York. 

32.Executive
acknowledges that he has read this entire Agreement, that he fully understands its meaning and effect, and that he has voluntarily
signed this Agreement. 

33.
Executive understands that the release contained in Paragraph 16 hereof is a general release, and represents that he has been
advised to seek counsel on the legal and practical effect of a general release, and recognizes that he is executing and delivering
this

    	Page 11 of 14

    	 	 

    
release,
intending thereby to be legally bound by the terms and provisions thereof, of his own free will, without promises or threats or
the exertion of duress. He also acknowledges that he has had adequate time to review it, have it explained to him, and understands
its provisions.  

34.Notices
or other deliveries required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by Executive to Albany shall, except to the
extent otherwise required by law, be deemed given or made if delivered by hand or by express mail or overnight courier service
to Albany International Corp., 1373 Broadway, Albany, New York 12204, Attention: Joseph M. Gaug. Notice by Albany to Executive
shall be given by hand of express mail or overnight courier service as follows: To Michael J. Joyce, 13 Sandalwood Drive, Clifton
Park, NY. 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, a duly authorized representative of Albany and Executive have signed this Agreement to be effective as of the
day and year first set forth above.
