        herein to the contrary, EnPro Lux shall not be required to sell and shall not sell the Sold Equity Interests in GGB France until such time as the Put Option (as defined in the Put Option Agreement) has been exercised and until such time, GGB France
        and Tribochem Portugal shall not be deemed Company Entities hereunder and the Equity Interests shall not be deemed to include the Equity Interest of GGB France and Tribochem Portugal.

       

      2.2          Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”)
        will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures (except that the transfer and assignment of the Sold Equity Interests in GGB Heilbronn and in GGB Real Estate shall take place in front of a German notary at such place in
        Germany as mutually agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer) on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article

            VIII (other than those conditions that are to be satisfied at the Closing), or on such other date as the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer mutually agree (the “Closing

            Date”) and will be deemed effective as of the Effective Time.  All proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously and
        no proceedings will be deemed to have been taken nor documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.

       

      2.3           Estimated Purchase Price.

       

      (a)          At least five (5) Business Days
          prior to the Closing Date, Seller Representative shall furnish to Parent Buyer a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth (in each case, with reasonable
          supporting detail) (i) a good faith estimate of Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (ii) a good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of the Effective Time
          (the “Estimated Working Capital”), including the Estimated Working Capital
          Overage or Estimated Working Capital Underage, (iii) a good faith estimate of the Closing Company Debt (the “Estimated Closing Company Debt”), (iv) a good faith estimate
          of the Selling Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Selling Expenses”) and (v) the Estimated Purchase Price calculated therefrom.

       

      
        3

        
          

      

      (b)          The Seller Representative shall
          consider in good faith any comments or objections to any amounts set forth in the Closing Certificate notified to it in writing by Parent Buyer prior to the Closing, and if, prior to the Closing, the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer agree
          to make any modification to the Closing Certificate, then the Closing Certificate as so modified shall be deemed to be Closing Certificate for purposes of calculating the Estimated Purchase Price; provided that (i) the Seller Representative shall be under no obligation to accept any proposed modifications that the Seller Representative determines in good faith are not appropriate and (ii) it is hereby
          acknowledged that the acceptance of any such proposed modifications shall not constitute a condition to Buyers’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  If the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer fail to
          agree upon the amounts set forth in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(a) at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, then the Closing Certificate
          as provided by the Seller Representative shall be used for purposes of calculating the Estimated Purchase Price without prejudice to Buyers’ rights to assert such objections thereto pursuant to Section 2.5, and such failure of the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer to agree shall have no effect on the parties’ respective obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
          require that the contemplated Closing Date be postponed or otherwise delayed.

       

      2.4         Closing Payments.  At the Closing, Parent Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Buyer to, make the following payments (collectively, the “Closing Payments”):

       

      (a)          the Estimated Closing Company
          Debt (on behalf of the Company Entities) to the lenders thereof in accordance with, and subject to having theretofore received, the payoff letters delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a)

       

      (b)        the Estimated Selling Expenses
          (on behalf of the Company Entities and, to the extent applicable, the Seller Parties) to the Persons entitled to receive such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with payment instructions delivered by the payee
          of such Estimated Selling Expenses; and

       

      (c)          an aggregate amount equal to the
          Estimated Purchase Price to Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with payment instructions delivered by Seller Representative to Buyer (the “Estimated Closing Date Payment”).

       

      2.5           Purchase Price Adjustment.

       

      (a)          Final Statement.  Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller Representative a statement (the “Final Statement”) setting forth Buyers’ calculation of Working Capital as of the Effective Time, Closing Cash, Closing Company Debt and Selling Expenses as of immediately
          prior to the Closing.  If Parent Buyer fails to deliver the Final Statement within such 90-day period, then in addition to any other rights the Seller Parties may have under this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall have the right to
          deliver written notice to Parent Buyer identifying such failure and if Parent Buyer fails to deliver the Final Statement to the Seller Representative within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, then the Seller
          Representative shall have the right to elect that the Estimated Purchase Price be deemed to be the amount of the Purchase Price and be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to
          this Section 2.5.

       

      
        4

        
          

      

      (b)          Final Statement Dispute.  Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by Seller Representative of the Final Statement, the Seller Representative shall deliver written notice to Parent Buyer
          describing in reasonable detail any dispute (including the amount thereof) it has with respect to the preparation or content of the Final Statement.  If the Seller Representative does not notify Parent Buyer of a dispute with respect to the Final
          Statement within such 45-day period, then Parent Buyer shall have the right to deliver written notice to the Seller Representative identifying such failure and if the Seller Representative does not notify Parent Buyer of a dispute with respect to
          the Final Statement within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, then such Final Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties.  In the event of such notification of a dispute, Parent Buyer and the Seller
          Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disputed items.  If Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such disputed items within fifteen (15) days after the Seller
          Representative advises Parent Buyer of its objections, then Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative jointly shall engage the Arbitration Firm to resolve only such disputed items and/or items still in dispute.  In the event that Parent Buyer
          and the Seller Representative engage the Arbitration Firm, as promptly as practicable thereafter, Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Arbitration Firm, which presentation shall adhere to
          the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement.  As soon as practicable thereafter, Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cause the Arbitration Firm to render a decision based solely upon the presentations by Parent Buyer
          and the Seller Representative.  In resolving any disputed item, the Arbitration Firm shall be limited to picking from or between the values assigned to each item by Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative, and may not assign a value to any
          item outside of the range of values claimed for such item by either party.  Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Arbitration Firm to, and the Arbitration Firm shall, make a final determination of such disputed items in
          accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement.  Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative shall direct the Arbitration Firm to deliver to Parent Buyer and the Seller Representative, as promptly as practicable (but in
          any case no later than thirty (30) days after such Arbitration Firm’s engagement or such other time as Buyer and the Seller Representative shall agree to in writing) its final determination.  Parent Buyer on behalf of Buyers, on the one hand, and
          the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, on the other hand, will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Arbitration Firm in proportion to its or their loss, if any, in any such arbitration (e.g., if Parent Buyer is awarded 60% of the difference between its claim and the claim of the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, through the arbitration
          proceeding, it must pay 40% of the arbitrator’s fees, and Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, must pay the remaining 60% of the arbitrator’s fees).  All determinations made by the Arbitration Firm will be final, conclusive and
          binding on the parties to this Agreement, absent manifest error or manifest failure by the Arbitration Firm to adhere to the requirements of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism
          contained in this Section 2.5(b) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the Purchase Price adjustment, if any, and neither Buyers nor the
          Seller Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses pursuant to Article X to the extent taken into account in the determination of the Purchase Price
          or for matters adjudicated by the Arbitration Firm.

       

      
        5

        
          

      

      (c)          Access.  For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.5, Buyers and the Company Entities, on the
          one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, shall cooperate with and make available to each other and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit access to its facilities and
          personnel, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Final Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.  If Buyers and the Company Entities, on the one hand, or the Seller Parties, on the
          other hand, breach their respective obligations under this Section 2.5(c), the dispute periods set forth in Section 2.5(b) shall automatically be extended until such breach is cured by the breaching party.

       

      (d)          Payment.  Within five (5) Business Days after Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Company Debt and Selling Expenses are  finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(b):

       

      (i)          If an amount equal to (x)(i)
          Working Capital plus (ii) Closing Cash minus (iii) Closing Company Debt, minus (iv) Selling Expenses minus an amount equal to (y)(i) Estimated Working Capital plus (ii) Estimated Closing Cash, minus (iii) Estimated Closing Company Debt, minus (iv) Estimated Selling Expenses (such difference, the “Adjustment Amount”) (A) is
          positive, then Parent Buyer, on behalf of Buyers, shall pay to Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, the Adjustment Amount by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller
          Representative or (B) is negative, then Seller Representative, on behalf of the Seller Parties, shall pay to Parent Buyer (for further distribution to the applicable Buyers) an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount by bank
          wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent Buyer.  Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) is referred to
          herein as the Final Closing Date Payment.

       

      (ii)          If the Adjustment Amount is
          zero, then no additional payments shall be required by Buyers or the Seller Parties, and the Estimated Purchase Price (and Estimated Working Capital included therein) shall be deemed to be the amount of the Purchase Price and be final, conclusive
          and binding on the parties.

       

      2.6          Purchase Price Allocation. The parties hereto agree to allocate the purchase price among the Equity Interests as set forth on Schedule 2.6 (the “Final Equity Allocation Statement”).  The parties further agree that the Purchase Price (together
        with any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal (and other applicable) income Tax purposes) shall be allocated for U.S. federal (and other applicable) income Tax purposes among the assets of any Company Entity treated as
        transferred in the transactions contemplated hereby for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, including pursuant to an election under Section 338(g) of the Code, which allocation shall be consistent with Schedule 2.6 and with applicable Law, including Section 338(g) (as applicable), Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax
        Law (the “Asset Allocation Statement”).  Within forty-five (45) days after the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5, Parent Buyer shall prepare the Asset Allocation Statement and deliver it (including any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Seller Representative) to the Seller Representative
        for review.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Asset Allocation Statement from Parent Buyer, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Parent Buyer in writing any comments to the Asset Allocation Statement, and the parties shall
        cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes with respect to such comments.  Any dispute that cannot be timely resolved through good faith negotiation shall be referred to the Arbitration Firm for resolution, and the Arbitration Firm shall issue
        a determination solely with respect to such disputed items.  The cost of the Arbitration Firm shall be borne by the parties in a manner consistent with Section 2.5(b). 
        The determination of the Arbitration Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties.  In the event the Purchase Price is subsequently adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree on adjustments
        to the Asset Allocation Statement in accordance with this Section 2.6.  Unless, and then solely to the extent, otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning
        of Section 1313(a) of the Code), the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, prepare and file all Tax Returns (including any forms or reports required to filed pursuant to Section 338(g) (as applicable) and Section 1060 of
        the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provisions of state, local and non-U.S. Tax Law) in a manner consistent with the Asset Allocation Statement (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6).

       

      
        6

        
          

      

      2.7         Withholding.  Buyers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments required to be made under this Agreement all Taxes that any Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under any applicable provision
        of Tax Law and shall remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority, provided that, except with respect to any payments treated as compensation to the
        recipient for Tax purposes, Parent Buyer shall, and shall cause the other Buyers to, cooperate in good faith with the Seller Representative in an attempt to reduce or eliminate any such withholding.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted,
        withheld and paid over, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered to the appropriate Seller Party hereunder.  Parent Buyer shall provide documentation of the reporting and payment of any such
        withholding if reasonably requested by the Seller Representative.

      Except as set forth on the applicable Disclosure Schedules (it being understood that any matter disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule will be deemed
        to be disclosed on any other Schedule to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is applicable to such other Disclosure Schedule or Disclosure Schedules), each Seller Party represents and warrants to Buyers, as
        follows.

       

      4.1           Organization and Standing; Authority.

       

      (a)          GGB LLC is a limited liability
          company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.  GGB U.S. Holdco is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.  GGB Newco is a limited
          liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of North Carolina.  GGB Brazil is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Brazil. Each other

      (b)         Each Company Entity is duly
          qualified to do business, and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof), in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where
          the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing (or the equivalent thereof), individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business.

       

      
        9

        
          

      

      (c)         Each Company Entity has the
          requisite power and authority to execute and deliver all agreements and documents contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by it, to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.  The
          execution and delivery of such agreements and documents, the performance of such obligations and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein have been or will be, prior to execution and delivery thereof, duly and validly authorized
          by all necessary action on the part of each Company Entity.

       

      (d)         The Seller Parties have made
          available to Buyers accurate and complete copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws or comparable organizational or governing documents of each Company Entity, in each case, as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each of such
          organizational or governing documents as so made available is in full force and effect, except where the failure to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
          Adverse Effect on the Business.  Each of the Company Entities are in compliance with the provisions of its organizational or governing documents, as applicable, except where the failure to be so in compliance, individually or in the aggregate,
          would not be material to the Business, taken as a whole.

       

      4.2          Capitalization; Subsidiaries.  The Equity Interests are the only equity interests of the Company Entities that are issued and outstanding.  Each Seller Party or the applicable Company Entity owns

        sets forth the authorized capital stock for each Company Entity.  All of the Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights.  A Seller Party or another Company Entity
        owns the outstanding Equity Interests of each Company Entity, free and clear of all Liens, except any Permitted Liens which will be released at or prior to the Closing, and other than restrictions on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act and
        applicable state securities laws or similar laws of foreign jurisdictions.  There are no: (a) outstanding securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities of the Company Entities; (b) rights, agreements or commitments obligating the

        rights.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, no Company Entity, directly or indirectly, owns or has the right or obligation to acquire any equity securities or similar

      (b)          The Financial Statements have
          been properly extracted from the business records of the Company Entities and are consistent with the books and records of the Company Entities (subject to the application of estimates and assumptions required to present the Business on a
          stand-alone basis).  The Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and procedures of the Company Entities, and the Financial Statements have been prepared by management of the Company Entities in accordance
          with GAAP or respective local law equivalents in all material respects (except for the absence of footnote disclosure and the absence of any year-end adjustments (which adjustments are not material individually or in the aggregate) in the Interim

          including any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity or Person), where the result, purpose or effect of such Contract is to avoid disclosure of any transaction involving, or liabilities of, the Company Entities in their
          financial statements.

       

      (d)          No Company Entity has any obligations or liabilities (whether contingent or otherwise), for earn-outs, change of control, deferred purchase price arrangements, retention or similar incentives, in respect of any
          M&A Transactions that are required by GAAP to be reflected on the Financial Statements, other than as are reflected in the Interim Financial Statements and disclosed on Schedule

            4.4(d).

       

      (e)          Subject to any reserves in the
          Financial Statements, (i) the material accounts receivable existing as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”) represent valid obligations arising
          from the ordinary course of business and to the Sellers’ Knowledge are not subject to any valid counterclaim, set-off, defense, claim or Lien and (ii) to the Sellers’ Knowledge, the Accounts Receivable are collectible within the time periods
          consistent with the past collection practices of the Business as it relates to such type of receivable.

       

      (f)           Since the Balance Sheet Date,

          prepayment of expenses, payment of trade accounts payable, accrual of other expenses, deferral of revenue and acceptance of customer deposits; and (iii) the Company Entities have continued all pricing, sales, receivables and payables practices in
          all material respects in accordance with the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and have not engaged in (A) any change in practice that would have the effect of accelerating to prior fiscal quarters (including the current
          fiscal quarter) collections of receivables that would otherwise be expected to be made in subsequent fiscal quarters, or (B) any change in practice that would have the effect of postponing to subsequent fiscal quarters payments by any Company
          Entity that would otherwise be expected to be made in prior fiscal quarters (including the current fiscal quarter).

          Owned Real Property does not violate in any material respect any instrument of record or agreement affecting the Owned Real Property; (iii) none of the Seller Parties nor any Company Entity has received any notice of violation or claimed
          violation of any applicable building, zoning, subdivision and other land use or similar Law in connection with the use or operation of the Owned Real Property, except for any notice of violation or claimed violation that would not be material to

The applicable Company Entity has a valid leasehold interest in the Leased Real Property, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.  A
          true, correct and complete copy of each such lease, sublease, license or occupancy agreement, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the Leased Real Property (collectively, the “Real

          under any of the Real Property Leases, except for any existing defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business.  There is no material default or
          material breach by the Company Entities or, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, any other party, in the timely performance of any obligation to be performed or paid under any such Real Property Lease or any other provision thereof, and, to the Sellers’
          Knowledge, no event has occurred that (with notice or lapse of time, or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute a material breach or material default by or under any of the Real Property Leases by any Person or give any Person the right
          to terminate, accelerate or modify any Real Property Lease.  Neither the Seller Parties nor any Company Entity has leased or sublet as lessor or sublessor, and no Person (other than the applicable Company Entity) is in possession of, any of the
          Leased Real Property.  The Leased Real Property is being maintained in all material respects by the applicable Company Entity in accordance with the applicable Real Property Lease.

          not had and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Business; and

       

      (b)         Since December 31, 2018, no

          be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a currently effective favorable determination, advisory or opinion letter from the IRS, and each trust created thereunder has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from tax under the
          provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code, and nothing has occurred since the date of any such determination that could reasonably be expected to give the IRS grounds to revoke such determination.  Each Employee Plan that is maintained outside the
          United States that is required to be registered or meet other requirements to receive special tax treatment has been registered or met such requirements.

       

      (e)           No Company Entity has an

        19

        
          

      

      (i)           With respect to any insurance
          policy providing funding for benefits under any Employee Plan, there is no material liability of the Company Entities in the nature of a retroactive rate adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent liability, nor would
          there be any such liability if such insurance policy was terminated on the date hereof.

       

      (j)          No Employee Plan provides
          benefits, including death or medical benefits, beyond termination of service or retirement other than (i) coverage mandated by applicable Law or (ii) death or retirement benefits under any Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under
          Section 401(a) of the Code.

       

      (k)          The execution and performance of
          this Agreement will not (i) constitute a stated triggering event under any Employee Plan that will result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due from the Company Entities to any current or former officer, employee,
          director or consultant (or dependents of such Persons), or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due to any current or former officer, employee, director or consultant (or dependents of such
          Persons) of the Company Entities.

       

      (l)           The Company Entities have not
          agreed or committed to institute any plan, program, arrangement or agreement for the benefit of employees or former employees of the Company Entities other than the Employee Plans, or to make any amendments to any of the Employee Plans.

       

      (m)          To the extent permitted by
          applicable Law, the Company Entities have reserved all rights necessary to amend or terminate each of the Employee Plans without the consent of any other Person.

       

      (n)         No amount that could be received
          (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) under any
          employment, severance or termination agreement, other compensation arrangement or Employee Plan currently in effect would be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).

       

      (o)          Each Employee Plan and any other
          payment or arrangement for which any of the Company Entities have liability that is subject to Section 409A of the Code is in material documentary compliance with and has been operated in material compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and no

        regulations, as applicable.  Parent Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the other Buyers) on a consolidated basis are able to bear the economic risk of holding the Sold Equity Interests for an indefinite period (including total loss of its
        investment), and have (either alone or together with its advisors) sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of its investment.

        this Agreement.

        not be less than the sum of their liabilities and that the present saleable value of their assets will not be less than the amount required to pay their probable liabilities as they become absolute and matured), (ii) will have adequate capital with

        of their Affiliates that challenges the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or seeks to enjoin or prohibit consummation of, or seeks other material equitable relief with respect to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that
        would reasonably be expected to impair or delay Buyers’ ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

       

      6.9        No Brokers.  No broker, finder or similar agent has been employed by or on behalf of Buyers, and no Person with which any Buyer has had any dealings or communications of any kind is entitled to

      (a)          From the date hereof until the
          Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except as determined by the Seller Parties in good faith that doing so would be reasonably likely to (i) violate any applicable Laws, or (ii) violate the attorney-client privilege or other

          normal business hours, to the employees, assets, properties, books, records and agreements (including the electronic data related thereto), Permits and other information of the Company Entities and the Seller Parties shall cause the Company
          Entities to permit Buyers to make such inspections (but excluding sampling or testing of the Environment) as Buyers may reasonably require and to furnish Buyers during such period with all such information relating to the Company Entity as Buyers

          this Section 7.2(a) shall be subject to applicable rules relating to discovery; provided,
          further, that if the Seller Parties and/or any Company Entity seek to withhold information or access to Buyers and their representatives for any of the reasons set forth

          and must be held by Buyers and their representatives in accordance with and be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

       

      (c)          Parent Buyer agrees to be bound
          by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, and to cause the other Buyers to be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, as if such provisions were set forth herein, and
          such provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

       

      
        38

        
          

      

      7.3          Publicity.  Except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law or any applicable securities exchange (in which case, the party making the disclosure shall consult
        with the other party prior to making such disclosure and will use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party to comment and suggest satisfactory text in advance of such issuance or publication), no party will issue any press release
        or other public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of, in the case of a press
        release or other public announcement by Buyers, Seller Representative and, in the case of a press release or other public announcement by the Seller Parties, Parent Buyer.

       

      7.4          Records.  With respect to the material financial and other books and records and minute books of the Company Entities relating to matters on or prior to the Closing Date in existence on the
        Closing Date: (a) for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall not and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) not to cause or permit their destruction or disposal
        without first offering in writing to surrender them (or any portion thereof) to the Seller Parties (at the Seller Parties’ cost and expense); and (b) except as determined by Parent Buyer in good faith that doing so would be reasonably likely to (i)
        violate any applicable Laws, or (ii) violate the attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege, where there is a legitimate purpose, including an audit of the Seller Parties or their equity holders by the IRS or any other Taxing Authority, an
        Action involving Seller Parties or their equity holders (other than Actions between the Seller Parties or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent Buyer or its Affiliates, on the other hand, in which case disclosure hereunder shall be subject
        to the rules of discovery), preparation of insurance claims or to comply with financial reporting obligations, Parent Buyer shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) to, allow Seller
        Parties and their representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice to Parent Buyer, reasonable access to such books and records during regular business hours; provided
        that if Parent Buyer seeks to withhold information or access to the Seller Parties and their representatives for any of the reasons set forth in clause (i) or (ii), Parent Buyer shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the
        other Buyers and the Company Entities) to, cooperate in good faith with the Seller Parties to implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to provide such access in a manner to remedy the basis for the objection, including by arrangement
        of appropriate clean team procedures, redactions or entry into a customary joint agreement with respect to any information or access so provided.

       

      7.5          Post-Closing Confidentiality.  The Seller Parties acknowledge that the success of the Company Entities after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of certain
        information possessed by the Seller Parties, that the preservation of the confidentiality of such information by the Seller Parties is an essential premise of the bargain between the Seller Parties and Buyers, and that Buyers would be unwilling to
        enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 7.5.  Accordingly, each Seller Party hereby agrees with Buyers that each Seller Party and its
        representatives will not, and that each Seller Party will cause its Affiliates not to, at any time on or after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Parent Buyer, disclose or use, any confidential or
        proprietary information involving or relating to the Company Entities, including: (a) customer and supplier information, including lists of names and addresses of customers and suppliers of any Company Entity or its Affiliates as of the Closing
        Date; (b) written business plans and strategies, sales plans and strategies, pricing and other terms applicable to transactions between existing and prospective customers, suppliers or business associates; (c) proprietary market research and
        databases, sources of leads and methods of obtaining new business employed by any Company Entity; (d) information identified as confidential and/or proprietary in internal documents of any Company Entity; and (e) Trade Secrets.  The information
        subject to the foregoing provisions will not include any information: (w) that is or becomes generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation hereof); (x) becomes available to the Seller Parties
        after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company Entities; (y) is independently developed by or for the Seller Parties without use of Company Entity confidential or proprietary information or (z) required (on
        advice of legal counsel) to be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law, securities exchange regulation or Order; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 7.5 will not prohibit any retention of copies of records that are reasonably
        required and used solely to comply with applicable Law.

      7.6           Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation; Regulatory Filings.

       

      (a)          Subject to the provisions of
          this Section 7.6, each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist
          and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain satisfaction or waiver of the
          conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) obtaining all of the necessary Consents from Governmental Authorities and other third parties and the making of all filings and the taking of all
          steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain Consent from, or to avoid an Action by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) the defending of any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments
          necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

       

      (b)          Parent Buyer will, as soon as
          reasonably practicable, make or cause to be made all required filings or submissions under any other antitrust or merger control Laws or regulations applicable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and, in each case, include
          in each filing or submission a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting or review periods, to the extent available under the applicable Laws or regulations.  Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of
          information, the parties will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult with each other on, filings required to be made by Buyers.  In exercising the foregoing right, the parties will act reasonably and as
          promptly as practicable.  Parent Buyer (on behalf of Buyers) will pay all fees associated with all filings and submissions referred to in this Section 7.6(b).

       

      (c)           Buyers will comply with any
          additional requests for information, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions by any Governmental Authority.  Buyers agree to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate
          each and every impediment under any antitrust or merger control Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority so as to enable the parties to expeditiously close the transactions contemplated hereby, including consenting to any
          divestiture or other structural or conduct relief in order to obtain clearance from any Governmental Authority and, at the request of the Seller Representative, Parent Buyer and its Affiliates will be obligated to contest, administratively or in
          court, any ruling, order, or other action of any Governmental Authority or any other Person respecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent Buyer shall, on behalf of
          the parties, control and lead all strategy for dealing with any other Governmental Authority under any foreign merger control Laws, subject to its obligation, as outlined in this Section

              7.6, to cooperate with and work with the Seller Parties in good faith.

       

      
        40

        
          

      

      (d)          From and after the date hereof
          and until all applicable waiting or review periods have expired and required governmental approvals have been obtained, except as specifically required by this Agreement, Buyers shall not, and shall cause each of their Affiliates not to, operate
          its business in such manner or take any action, including any separate transaction, that would reasonably be expected to impose any delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining any such governmental approval or
          clearance or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting or review period.

       

      (e)          In connection with the actions
          referenced in this Section 7.6 to make effective as soon as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties agree that they shall: (i) keep

          the other parties and/or their counsel to review in advance any submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given to any Governmental Authority, to the extent consistent with applicable antitrust laws. 
          Neither any Buyer nor any Seller Party will permit any of its officers, employees or other representatives or agents to participate in any substantive meeting with any Governmental Authority related to the transactions unless it consults with the
          other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

       

      7.7          Contact with Customers, Origination and Referral Sources and Other Business Relations.  Prior to the Closing, Parent Buyer and its Affiliates (including the other Buyers) and representatives will
        contact and communicate with the employees, customers, origination and referral sources and other business relations of the Business in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby only after prior consultation with and written approval of
        Seller Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

      7.8          Plant Closings and Mass Layoffs.  Parent Buyer shall not, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) not to, take any action following the
        Closing that could result in WARN Act liability or similar liability under any other federal, state, local or foreign law for the Seller Parties.  Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing, the Seller Parties shall provide Parent Buyer with a
        list of all involuntary employee terminations (other than for cause) occurring in the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing at a site of employment shared with any Business Employee, including the affected employee’s work location, reason for
        termination and date of termination.

       

      7.9          Employees; Benefit Plans.

       

      (a)          During the period commencing at
          the Closing and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company Entities), Parent Buyer shall and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries
          (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) to provide each employee of the Company Entities who remains employed immediately after the Closing (“Business Continuing
              Employees”) with base salary or hourly wages, target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, and retirement and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary or
          hourly wages, target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) and retirement and welfare benefits provided by the Company Entities immediately prior to the Closing.  In addition, Parent Buyer will, or will cause its Subsidiaries
          (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) to, provide severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided by the Company Entities as listed on Schedule 7.9(a).  In no event will the New Shanghai Employer, New UK Employer or New Singapore Employer be liable for any termination indemnity, severance or similar payments owed by the Shanghai Employer, the U.K. Employer
          or the Singapore Employer with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date and arising on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to employees who do not become Business Continuing Employees. Further:

       

      (i)          At such time as the Parties
          agree prior to the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall or shall procure that the New Shanghai Employer makes an offer of employment, in writing, to each of the employees of EnPro Industries International Trading (Shanghai) Co, Ltd. (the “Shanghai Employer”) listed in Schedule 7.9(a)(i) (the “Shanghai Business Employees”) (such offer, the “Shanghai Employment Offer”). The Shanghai Employment Offer made will be such
          that the terms and conditions of the employment offered are consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.9(a) and shall be for employment effective on, and
          conditional upon, Closing. If the Shanghai Business Employee wishes to accept the Shanghai Employment Offer (such Shanghai Business Employees who accept the Shanghai Employment Offers, the “Transitioned Shanghai Business Employees”), the Seller Parties shall procure that the Shanghai Employer shall waive the requirement on such Shanghai Business Employee to give any period of notice of termination of their
          employment (whether contractual, statutory or otherwise) so as to allow the Shanghai Business Employee to commence employment with the New Shanghai Employer on the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall procure that the Shanghai Employer performs
          and discharges all of its obligations in respect of such Shanghai Business Employees  up to the Closing Date (including any obligation to discharge remuneration, benefits, bonus and incentive payments, holiday pay and any additional indemnities
          related to the termination of employment, withholding tax deductions and social security contributions and any other liability, if any, payable after the Closing Date in respect of an entitlement accrued to any extent for the period before the
          Closing Date) and including all obligations and liabilities with respect to the termination of such Shanghai Business Employees from employment with the Shanghai Employer. Parent Buyer shall procure that the New Shanghai Employer performs and
          discharges all of its obligations in respect of the Transitioned Shanghai Business Employees (including its obligations in respect of salaries, emoluments, pay in respect of holiday entitlement, benefits and tax) in respect of all periods on and
          after the Closing Date. Such Transitioned Shanghai Business Employees shall be deemed to be Business Continuing Employees from the Closing Date.

      (ii)           At such time as the Parties
          agree prior to the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall or shall procure that New UK Employer makes an offer of employment, in writing, to each of the employees of Garlock (Great Britain) Limited (the “UK Employer”) listed in Schedule 7.9(a)(ii) (the “UK Business
              Employees”) (such offer, the “UK Employment Offer”). The UK Employment Offer made will be such that the terms and conditions of the employment offered are
          consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.9(a) and shall be for employment effective on, and conditional upon, Closing. If the UK Business Employee wishes to
          accept the UK Employment Offer (such UK Business Employees who accept the UK Employment Offers, the “Transitioned UK Business Employees”), the Seller Parties shall
          procure that the UK Employer shall waive the requirement on such UK Business Employee to give any period of notice of termination of their employment (whether contractual, statutory or otherwise) so as to allow the UK Business Employee to
          commence employment with the New UK Employer on the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall procure that the UK Employer performs and discharges all of its obligations in respect of such UK Business Employees up to the Closing Date (including any
          obligation to discharge remuneration, benefits, bonus and incentive payments, holiday pay and any additional indemnities related to the termination of employment, withholding tax deductions and social security contributions and any other
          liability, if any, payable after the Closing Date in respect of an entitlement accrued to any extent for the period before the Closing Date) and including all obligations and liabilities with respect to the termination of such UK Business
          Employees from employment with the UK Employer.  Parent Buyer shall procure that the New UK Employer performs and discharges all of its obligations in respect of the Transitioned UK Business Employees (including its obligations in respect of
          salaries, emoluments, pay in respect of holiday entitlement, benefits and tax) in respect of all periods on and after the Closing Date. Such Transitioned UK Business Employees shall be deemed to be Business Continuing Employees from the Closing
          Date.

       

      
        43

        
          

      

      (iii)        At such time as the Parties
          agree prior to the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall or shall procure that New Singapore Employer makes an offer of employment, in writing, to each of the employees of Garlock Singapore Pte. Ltd. (the “Singapore Employer”) listed in Schedule 7.9(a)(iii)  (the “Singapore

              Business Employees”) (such offer, the “Singapore Employment Offer”). The Singapore Employment Offer made will be such that the terms and conditions of the
          employment offered are consistent with the requirements of this Section 7.9(a) and shall be for employment effective on, and conditional upon Closing. If the Singapore
          Business Employee wishes to accept the Employment Offer (such Singapore Business Employees who accept the Singapore Employment Offers, the “Transitioned Singapore Business
              Employees”), the Seller Parties shall procure that the Singapore Employer shall waive the requirement on such Singapore Business Employee to give any period of notice of termination of their employment (whether contractual,
          statutory or otherwise) so as to allow the Singapore Business Employee to commence employment with the New Singapore Employer on the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall procure that the Singapore Employer performs and discharges all of its
          obligations in respect of such Singapore Business Employees  up to the Closing Date (including any obligation to discharge remuneration, benefits, bonus and incentive payments, annual leave pay and any additional  indemnities  related to the
          termination of employment, withholding tax deductions and central provident fund contributions and any other liability, if any, payable after the Closing Date in respect of an entitlement accrued to any extent for the period before the Closing
          Date) and including all obligations and liabilities with respect to the termination of such Singapore Business Employees from employment with the Singapore Employer. Parent Buyer shall procure that the New Singapore Employer performs and
          discharges all of its obligations in respect of the Transitioned Singapore Business Employees (including its obligations in respect of salaries, emoluments, pay in respect of annual leave entitlement, benefits and tax) in respect of all periods
          on and after the Closing Date. Such Transitioned Singapore Business Employees shall be deemed to be Business Continuing Employees from the Closing Date.

       

      (b)          With respect to any employee
          benefit plan maintained by Parent Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including any other Buyer) (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Business Continuing Employees
          will participate effective as of the Closing, Parent Buyer shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the other Buyers and the Company Entities) to, recognize all service of the Business Continuing Employees with the Company
          Entities or their Affiliates (including, with respect to the Transitioned Shanghai Business Employees, the Transitioned UK Business Employees and the Transitioned Singapore Business Employees, the Shanghai Employer, the UK Employer and the
          Singapore Employer, respectively) as if such service were with Buyers (or, with respect to the Transitioned Shanghai Business Employees, the Transitioned UK Business Employees and the Transitioned Singapore Business Employees, the New Shanghai
          Employer, the New UK Employer and the New Singapore Employer, respectively), for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Business Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date;
          provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Employee Plan.

       

      
        44

        
          

      

      (c)          On or prior to the Closing Date,
          the Seller Parties shall transfer the employment of any Business Employee designated as an excluded shared service employee on Schedule 4.17(b) out of the Company
          Entities and into Seller Party entity or other Affiliate thereof (other than another Company Entity).

       

      (d)        Coverage for all Business
          Continuing Employees and their respective dependents under the Employee Plans that are not Company Entity Plans listed on Schedule 4.12 that are health or welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (the “Sellers’ Welfare Plans”) will cease to be effective as of the Closing Date, subject to the Transition Services Agreement. The Seller Parties and the Sellers’ Welfare Plans
          will retain responsibility and liability for all claims of the Business Continuing Employees incurred on or before the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 7.9(d),
          a claim will be deemed “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, severance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that the service was rendered or the supply
          was purchased (for purposes of health care programs).

       

      (e)         The Seller Parties shall take
          such actions necessary to permit Business Continuing Employees to elect, following the Closing, direct rollovers (including rollovers of any outstanding loans) from each Employee Plan that is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section
          401(a) of the Code.

       

      (f)           Effective as of or as soon as
          administratively practicable following the Closing Date, Parent Buyer shall maintain or establish a flexible spending account plan (“Buyer’s FSA Plan”) providing for
          dependent care flexible spending account arrangements for the benefit of Business Continuing Employees in the United States (“U.S. Business Continuing Employees”), which
          will recognize the elections that such U.S. Business Continuing Employees had in effect for purposes of the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs under the dependent care flexible spending account plan of Seller Parties (“Sellers’ FSA Plan”).  Buyer’s FSA Plan shall assume the obligations of Seller’s FSA Plan with respect to U.S. Business Continuing Employees as of, or as soon as
          administratively practicable following, the Closing Date for the plan year in effect on the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing, (i) the Seller Parties shall transfer to Parent Buyer in cash an amount equal to the excess, if
          any, of (A) the total amount that U.S. Business Continuing Employees have contributed to Seller’s FSA Plan through the Closing Date for the calendar year that includes the Closing, over (B) the total amount that has been paid from Sellers’ FSA
          Plan through the Closing Date dependent care claims incurred by the U.S. Business Continuing Employees in such calendar year and (ii) Parent Buyer shall transfer to the Seller Parties in cash an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
          total amount that has been paid from Sellers’ FSA Plan through the Closing Date for dependent care claims incurred by the U.S. Business Continuing Employees in the calendar year that includes the Closing, over (B) the total amount that U.S.
          Business Continuing Employees have contributed to Sellers’ FSA Plan through the Closing Date for such calendar year.  After the Closing Date, Buyer’s FSA Plan shall be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed reimbursable
          dependent care claims incurred by U.S. Business Continuing Employees under Sellers’ FSA Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.  No later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall provide to Parent
          Buyer all preliminary election and balance information with respect to the Business Continuing Employees under the Sellers’ FSA Plan in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to Parent Buyer, and as soon as reasonably practicable after the
          Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall provide to Parent Buyer updates to such election and balance information to reflect any changes that occur through the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.9(f) is subject to the Transition Services Agreement.

       

      
        45

        
          

      

      (g)          The Seller Parties shall retain
          sponsorship and all liabilities, obligations, and responsibilities related to any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan of the Seller Parties or the Controlled Group which is not a Company Entity Plan listed on Schedule 4.12.

       

      (h)         This Section 7.9 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section

              7.9, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.9. 
          Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 7.9 shall not create any right in any employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Company Entities, Parent Buyer or any of their respective
          Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever or in any way limit the right of Parent Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Business Continuing Employee.

       

      7.10         Taxes.

       

      (a)           (i) The Seller Representative
          shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed (taking into account any valid extensions available under applicable Law), all Tax Returns for a Seller Group, and shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid,
          all Taxes required to be paid by any Seller Group.  All Tax Returns for a Seller Group shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past procedures and practices and accounting methods of such Seller Group, except as required by
          applicable Law.  Within thirty (30) days after filing any such Tax Return for a Seller Group, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Parent Buyer a pro forma of such Tax Return reflecting any Company Entity included therein.

       

      (ii)         Additionally, the Seller
          Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared, all income Tax Returns required to be timely filed with respect to a Company Entity on a separate entity basis, to the extent available under applicable Law, for a taxable period ending on or
          before the Closing Date or a Straddle Period.  All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past procedures and practices and accounting methods, except as required by applicable Law.  The Seller Representative shall provide
          a copy of such Tax Return to Parent Buyer, including any supporting information reasonably requested by Parent Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions) for Parent Buyer’s review and approval
          (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments from Parent Buyer to such Tax Returns that are submitted to the Seller Representative at least five (5) days prior to the
          applicable due date for filing such Tax Return.  Upon the completion of any Tax Return in accordance with this Section 7.10(a)(ii), the Seller
          Representative shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable due date for filing, pay to Parent Buyer, on behalf of the Seller Parties, any Taxes shown thereon to be due and owing (in the case of a Tax Return for a taxable period
          ending on or before the Closing Date) or the portion of the Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period as determined under Section 7.10(e) (in the
          case of a Tax Return for a Straddle Period), except  to the extent taken into account in the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5.  Parent Buyer shall
            timely file any Tax Return completed in accordance with this Section 7.10(a)(ii).  Notwithstanding any information provided or reasonably requested, the Parties agree that all rights and remedies pursuant to Section 2.5 shall remain in effect.

       

      
        46

        
          

      

      (b)         Except as required by applicable
          Law or with the consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and Parent Buyer and its Affiliates shall not permit the Company Entities
          to, (i) file or amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency
          relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make or change any Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) make or initiate any voluntary contact with a Taxing
          Authority regarding any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (v) take any action outside the ordinary course of business that would result in any increase in Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined pursuant to Section 7.10(e)) imposed on income includible pursuant to Section 951 or 951A of the Code or Treasury Regulations Section 1.245-5 (but only to the extent that
          Parent Buyer and its Affiliates, as applicable, do not make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code in connection with the acquisition of such Company Entity).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent
          Buyer and its Affiliates shall be permitted to make elections under Section 338(g) of the Code (and any similar or corresponding elections available under state or local Tax Law) with respect to any Company Entity that is treated as a non-U.S.
          corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and shall inform the Seller Representative within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date of those Company Entities with respect to which such elections shall be made.  The Seller Representative
          on behalf of the Seller Parties shall assist in the making of any such elections to the extent reasonably requested by Parent Buyer.

       

      (c)          (i) In the event of any claim,
          audit, examination, administrative or court proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) relating to any Seller Group, the Seller Representative shall have sole control over the
          conduct and settlement of such Tax Proceeding, and shall timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes required to be paid by such Seller Group with respect to such Tax Proceeding;

       

      
        47

        
          

      

      (ii)          In event of any Tax Proceeding
          that may result in a claim by Parent Buyer or any of its Affiliates for Indemnified Taxes and that does not relate to an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of Parent Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the Seller Representative, or
          its designee, shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, have the right to participate in the defense thereof reasonably to the extent of the issue(s) that would give rise to a claim for Indemnified Taxes and to employ counsel, at the
          Seller Representative’s own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Parent Buyer, if any, to represent the interests of the Company Entities in such a Tax Proceeding; provided
          that Parent Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge any claim at issue, in such Tax  Proceeding, in each case to the extent of the issue(s) that would give rise to a claim
          for Indemnified Taxes, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Parent Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) to
          promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing upon receiving written notice from any Taxing Authority of the commencement of any Tax Proceeding that would give rise to a claim for Indemnified Taxes; provided, however, that any failure or delay to give the Seller Representative such notice shall not relieve the Seller
          Parties of their indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Seller Parties were materially prejudiced thereby.  In connection with any Tax Proceeding subject to this Section 7.10(c)(ii), Parent Buyer shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates (including the Company Entities) to, take all action reasonably requested by the Seller Representative on behalf of the
          Seller Parties to the extent necessary (including providing a power of attorney) to enable the Seller Representative to exercise its rights as set forth in this Section 7.10(c)(ii);

       

      (d)           The parties shall (and shall
          cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, any audit, litigation or other Action with respect to Taxes and the
          computation and verification of any amounts paid or payable under this Section 7.10 (including any supporting work papers, schedules and documents).

       

      (e)          To the extent it is necessary
          for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes within a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes from any such Straddle Period that are allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined as follows: (i) in the case
          of any real property, personal property, ad valorem and similar Taxes (collectively, “Property Taxes”), the amount of such Property Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing
          Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the
          Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of total days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of any income Taxes or any other Taxes that are not Property Taxes (including any Taxes imposed on income includible
          pursuant to Section 951 or 951A of the Code or Treasury Regulations Section 1.245-5 that is attributable to a Company Entity for which Parent Buyer and its Affiliates decline to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code), the amount of
          any such Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be computed based on the interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Tax period of any applicable pass-through
          entity (including any controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) for applicable Tax purposes shall be deemed to close at such time).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree
          that any income Tax deduction of a Company Entity attributable to items included in Company Debt, Selling Expenses or Working Capital will be, to the extent supportable at a “more likely than not” or higher standard of confidence, taken into
          account in the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date or in a Tax Return with respect to a Seller Group.

       

      
        48

        
          

      

      (f)           Parent Buyer on behalf of
          Buyers, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller Parties, on the other, shall each pay and be responsible for 50% of any Transfer Taxes; provided
          that Parent Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify and hold the Seller Parties harmless against, 100% of any real estate transfer tax (Grunderwerbsteuer)
          imposed under the Laws of Germany with respect to the indirect transfer of German real estate in accordance with this Agreement.  The Seller Representative agrees to cooperate with Parent Buyer in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the
          Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.  Any refunds received with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be allocated between Parent Buyer on behalf of
          Buyers, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller Parties, on the other, in the same manner in which liability for the payment of Transfer Taxes is allocated.

       

      (g)          The parties hereto shall, to the
          extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Company Entities for all Tax purposes.

       

      (h)          The Seller Parties shall cause
          any and all existing Tax sharing or allocation agreements between any Company Entity, on the one hand, and any Seller Party or an Affiliate that is not a Company Entity, on the other, to be terminated as of the Closing Date, and any such Tax
          sharing or allocation agreement shall have no effect thereafter.

       

      (i)           With respect the transfer of
          the Equity Interests in GGB Heilbronn from EnPro German Holdco to the applicable Buyer, the following additional provisions shall apply:

       

      (i)          EnPro German Holdco and GGB
          Heilbronn entered into a profit and loss pooling agreement on 22/24 July, 2009 (the “German PLPA”).  According to clause 3.3 of the German PLPA, it can be terminated by
          either party for cause (aus wichtigem Grund), if EnPro German Holdco no longer has control over GGB Heilbronn.  The Seller Parties shall procure that EnPro
          German Holdco will effectively terminate the German PLPA on the Closing Date by reference to said clause promptly after the transfer of the equity interests in GGB Heilbronn to the applicable Buyer (or an assignee thereof) with immediate effect. 
          The parties shall do everything necessary to ensure that the termination of the German PLPA is recorded in the relevant commercial register without undue delay after the Closing Date.

       

      
        49

        
          

      

      (ii)          Any amount owed pursuant to
          Section 302 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – “AktG”), or any
          provision under the German PLPA, by EnPro German Holdco vis à vis GGB Heilbronn, for the period from January 1, 2022 until the termination of the German PLPA takes effect (the “PLPA

              Transitional Period”) (such claim, together with any accrued interest thereon, a “PLPA Loss Compensation Claim”) shall be settled by EnPro German Holdco
          by way of actual payment in cash to GGB Heilbronn in compliance with German Tax Law.  EnPro German Holdco herewith waives any claims vis à vis GGB Heilbronn for any amount owed pursuant to Section 301 AktG, or any provision under the German PLPA,
          by GGB Heilbronn for the PLPA Transitional Period.  In any event, all cash payments are to be made within three (3) Business Days after the Seller Representative and Parent Buyer have been provided with the interim balance sheet to be prepared in
          accordance with German Law as of the date the termination of the German PLPA takes effect.

       

      (iii)        Concurrently (Zug um Zug) with the settlement by EnPro German Holdco of a PLPA Loss Compensation Claim pursuant to Section 7.10(i)(ii), the applicable Buyer shall reimburse EnPro German Holdco by way of actual payment in cash in an amount equal to the amount of the PLPA Loss Compensation Claim settled by EnPro
          German Holdco unless such claim or reimbursement is included as a current asset of the Business in Working Capital.

       

      (iv)        The applicable Buyer shall
          indemnify EnPro German Holdco in case any collateral EnPro German Holdco is obliged to provide under Section 303 of AktG results in any payments to be made to creditors of GGB Heilbronn, to the extent that the obligation to provide collateral
          relates to the claim of a creditor.

       

      (v)        The parties agree that the Tax
          group for German corporate income Tax and trade Tax purposes (ertragsteuerliche Organschaft) (the “German Tax Group”) with EnPro German Holdco, as the German Tax Group parent, and GGB Heilbronn is terminated effective as of December 31, 2021 as a result of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

       

      (vi)         The parties hereto agree that
          the currently existing Tax group for VAT purposes between EnPro German Holdco and GGB Heilbronn will end as of the Closing, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to protect the recognition of such Tax group until the Closing.  To the
          extent that EnPro German HoldCo is entitled to a deduction or refund of input VAT (including any subsequent adjustments) in connection with supplies and services provided to GGB Heilbronn prior to the Closing but not yet invoiced, Parent Buyer
          shall procure on behalf of GGB Heilbronn that the Seller Representative is provided the relevant invoices, and the Seller Representative on behalf of EnPro German HoldCo shall refund the relevant VAT to Parent Buyer or GGB Heilbronn. 
          Accordingly, Parent Buyer shall procure that GGB Heilbronn informs the Seller Representative of supplies and services which GGB Heilbronn has provided prior to or on the Closing Date but has not yet invoiced.  Any VAT payable by EnPro German
          HoldCo to the appropriate taxing authorities in connection with such supplies and services for periods prior to the Closing (including any subsequent adjustments) shall be borne by Parent Buyer, and the appropriate amount shall be refunded by
          Parent Buyer to the Seller Representative or EnPro German HoldCo (to the extent invoiced to and collected from the respective counterparty).  After the Closing, these provisions shall supersede and replace any and all VAT allocation agreements in
          place or otherwise practiced between EnPro German HoldCo and GGB Heilbronn.

      (j)        To the extent not included in the
          calculations of Working Capital or otherwise specifically identified as an increase to the Purchase Price, the Seller Representative (on behalf of any of the Seller Parties) shall be entitled to any Tax refunds (or credits in lieu of refunds)
          (net of the reasonable third-party costs and expenses of Parent Buyer and its Affiliates in respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit, to the extent not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties, including any Taxes
          resulting therefrom) that are received by Parent Buyer or the Company Entities and are attributable to Taxes paid by the Company Entities with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.  Parent Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall pay over to the
          Seller Representative (on behalf of any of the Seller Parties), or otherwise as directed by the Seller Representative, any such refund (or credit in lieu of refund) within ten (10) Business Days (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter)
          after receipt of such refund (or credit in lieu of such refund).  After the Closing, Parent Buyer shall, upon the reasonable written request of the Seller Representative, cause the Company Entities to work in good faith and use their commercially
          reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute any Tax refund claims in order to obtain any such Tax refunds or credits that Parent Buyer reasonably determines are available under applicable Tax Law.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such Tax refund
          claims shall include Austrian Withholding Tax Refunds (net of any amounts paid or incurred by Parent Buyer as a result of the Seller Representative’s choice of local counsel or representative to file, pursue, or take any action with respect to
          such refund or claim).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Tax refund (or credit) claim subject to this Section 7.10(j)
          is subsequently determined by any Taxing Authority to be less than the amount paid by Parent Buyer or any its Affiliates to (or as directed by) the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties) shall promptly
          return any such disallowed amounts (plus any interest in respect of such disallowed refunds (or credits) owed to a Taxing Authority) to Parent Buyer.

       

      (k)        To the extent that any obligation
          or responsibility pursuant to this Section 7.10 may overlap with any other obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall govern.  Any claims for Indemnified Taxes by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates shall survive for a period equal to the applicable statute of
          limitations plus sixty (60) days (taking into account any extensions obtained under applicable Law).

       

      
        51

        
          

      

      7.11         Third Party Consents.  The Seller Representative and Parent Buyer shall cooperate in good faith in determining how (and
              whether) to proceed in giving notices to, and obtaining consents from, the various third parties described on Schedule 4.3; provided that, in any event, the Seller Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable
              after the execution of this Agreement, any and all Consents with respect to the Contracts set forth on Schedule 7.11, in each case, in form and substance
            reasonably acceptable to Parent Buyer in its reasonable discretion (and executed counterparts to such Consents shall be delivered to Parent Buyer reasonably promptly after receipt thereof), and Buyers shall cooperate with the Seller Parties and provide information (as reasonably requested or required by the applicable third parties in connection with obtaining all such Consents); provided, further, that
              neither any Company Entity nor any Seller Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration or offer to grant, or agree to, any financial or other accommodation to any Person from whom any such Consent is requested.

       

      7.12         Intercompany Obligations. 

        Seller Parties will take or cause to be taken such actions and make or cause to be made such payments as may be necessary, in each case, in good-faith consultation with Buyer (including giving Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and provide
        comments for the Seller Parties’ consideration on the principal documentation to be executed in connection therewith) and in a manner that has no adverse Tax consequences (including the loss or reduction of net operating loss carryforwards) on
        Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) so that, as of the Effective Time, there will be no Intercompany Obligations between the Company Entities on the one hand, and Seller Parties or their Affiliates (other than the
        Company Entities) on the other hand (other than pursuant to any agreements executed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby). 

       

      7.13         Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

       

      (a)           For a period of three (3)
          years from and after the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), each Seller Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to directly or indirectly,
          engage in any Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, investor, agent trustee, lender, employee or consultant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be
          construed to prevent a Seller Party or any Affiliate of a Seller Party from (i) passively investing in the capital stock of any Person that is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market so long as such
          Seller Party or Affiliate does not own more than 5% of the equity of such Person, (ii) continuing to operate any existing business conducted by any Seller Party or its Affiliates (other than the Company Entities) as of the Closing Date, or (iii)
          acquiring and operating any New Business, so long as, within twelve (12) months after the consummation of the acquisition of the New Business, (x) the Seller Parties or their Affiliates sign a definitive agreement to dispose, and subsequently
          disposes, of the relevant portion of the business or equity securities of the New Business that violates this Section 7.13 (provided, that such twelve- (12-) month
          period shall be extended by an additional six (6) months, if, at the end of such twelve- (12-) month period, all regulatory or Governmental Authority approvals for such disposition shall not have been obtained, all required notices with
          Governmental Authorities shall not have been filed or made, or all applicable waiting periods imposed by applicable Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate such disposition shall not have expired or been terminated), or (y) at the
          expiration of such twelve- (12-) month period, the New Business no longer violates this Section 7.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Seller Parties nor
          their Affiliates shall be required to dispose of any assets or securities of a New Business if the business activity thereof that would otherwise violate this Section 7.13 does not account for more than the greater of (x) 15% of the revenues of
          the New Business or (y) $10,000,000 in revenues (in each case based on its latest annual financial statements prior to the consummation of such acquisition). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the date hereof, EnPro Industries, Inc. is
          acquired through a merger, tender offer, exchange offer, share exchange, consolidation, or similar transaction by any third party Person (the “EnPro Acquirer”), the
          EnPro Acquirer and its Subsidiaries (excluding EnPro Industries, Inc. and its Subsidiaries) shall not be subject to, or restricted by, this Section 7.13.

       

      
        52

        
          

      

      (b)           During the Restricted Period,
          each Seller Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly, (i) any customer, supplier or other business relation of the Business to terminate its usage of or
          provision of products, supplies or services to Parent Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company Entities), and (ii) any employee of the Company Entities to leave the employ of the Company Entities, or directly or indirectly hire any such
          employee; provided that nothing in clause (ii) will prohibit any Person from (A) using general solicitations (including through search firms or general news or media
          outlets) not targeted at employees of the Company Entities or (B) soliciting or hiring (x) any employee of the Company Entities who is terminated by the Company Entities or (y) any employee of the Company Entities who has terminated his or her
          employment with the Company Entities and has not been employed by any Company Entity or Parent Buyer or any of its Affiliates for at least one hundred eighty (180) days after such termination occurred.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
          this Section 7.13(b) shall restrict or prohibit the Seller Parties or their Affiliates from communicating with or soliciting any customer, supplier or other business
          relation of the Company Entities for business purposes unrelated to the Business.

       

      (c)          After the Closing Date, each
          Seller Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, adopt, use, register or attempt to register any other name, Domain Name, word, mark, design or logo associated with any goods and/or services or otherwise that
          incorporate the name/term “GGB,” “GGbearings” “DU,” “DP4,” “DX,” “DS,” “HI-EX,” “EP,” “SY,” “HPMB,” “GAR-MAX” “TriboShield” or “TriboMate”, or any derivative of any of the foregoing or other name/term confusingly similar thereto.

       

      (d)          During the period commencing on
          the Closing Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, senior management of each Seller Party will not and will cause senior management of its Affiliates not to, and such management shall direct their employees not to,
          make any statement disparaging the Company Entities, or their respective officers, directors, and employees or any product or service offered by the Company Entities as of the Closing Date.  Nothing in this Section 7.13 shall restrict or prohibit the Seller Parties from providing truthful information or testimony as may be required by Law or defense of any Action or claim.

       

      
        53

        
          

      

      (e)         Each Seller Party, on behalf of
          itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that (i) that the duration and the scope of its covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7.13 are
          fair, reasonable and necessary to preserve the goodwill and proprietary rights of Buyers, the Company Entities and their Affiliates from and after the Closing and (ii) that each Seller Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, is entering
          into the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7.13 in contemplation of, and consideration for, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
          (including the payment of proceeds for Sold Equity Interests, as of the immediately prior to the Closing, owned directly by the applicable Seller Party).  Each Seller Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further acknowledges and agrees
          that any breach of its obligations in this Section 7.13 may result in irreparable damage to Buyers, the Company Entities and their Affiliates from and after the
          Closing, which may not be compensated by monetary damages alone.  Therefore, in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to Buyers, the Company Entities and their Affiliates from and after the Closing for any breach
          of this Section 7.13, each Seller Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that Buyers, the Company Entities and their Affiliates
          from and after the Closing shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach and specific performance of this Section 7.13(e),
          as a remedy for any such breach, and each Seller Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further waives any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.  If any provision contained in this Section 7.13 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
          other provision of this Section 7.13, but Section 7.13 shall be construed
          as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of
          time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or
          enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 7.13 to provide for a covenant having
          the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

       

      7.14         Exclusive Dealings.  From and after the date hereof through the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Seller Parties shall not take, nor shall the Seller
        Parties cause or permit any of their respective Affiliates or representatives to take, any action to encourage, initiate, continue or engage in discussions or negotiations with, enter into any agreement with, or provide any information to, any
        Person (other than Buyers, their Affiliates and their respective representatives) concerning any proposal or offer for, whether in one transaction or series of transactions (a) any purchase, transfer or other disposition or business combination or
        similar transaction of any Company Entity’s equity interests to such Person; (b) any merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination or similar transaction involving any Company Entity, any sale of all or a material portion of
        the assets of the Company Entities or any similar transaction involving the Company Entities (other than assets sold in accordance with Section 7.1(c)); (c) any
        liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction with respect to any Company Entity; or (d) any transaction or series of transactions that are similar in substance, purpose or effect to any of the transactions described in the immediately preceding
        subclauses.

       

      
        54

        
          

      

      7.15         Transitional Use of Retained Names.  Within six (6) months following the Closing, Parent Buyer will cause the Retained Names to be removed from all existing public-facing physical assets, content and materials in
        any media in Buyers’ or the Company Entities’ possession or control, in each case, other than references to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement solely as permitted hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing, Buyers and
        the Company Entities shall have the right to sell inventory existing as of the Closing Date and to use stationery, packaging, labeling, containers, supplies, advertising materials, technical data sheets and any similar materials, in each case,
        existing as of the Closing Date, bearing any Retained Names until the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Closing Date and (ii) the date such existing inventory and materials are exhausted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge
        that historical accounts of the history of the Company Entities may reference the name Glacier Garlock Bearings, including in searches on the internet and any such use shall not be deemed to violate this covenant as long as the Company Entities do
        not market or sell products or otherwise use trade names with the word “Garlock” or something confusingly similar thereto.

       

      7.16         Industrial Site Recovery Act Covenant.

       

      (a)          Except as otherwise specified in
          this Section 7.16, the Seller Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, fully comply with any ISRA and SRRA Requirements currently existing or that are triggered
          by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any related audit that may be conducted by NJDEP (the “Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance”). 

          The Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance shall be limited to Hazardous Materials that were Released as of or prior to the Closing Date at, in, on, under or from the Owned Real Property in New Jersey (the “Pre-Closing Contamination”).  In the course of undertaking the Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance, the Seller Parties may determine that the use of Engineering Controls and Institutional Controls is necessary at the
          Owned Real Property to reduce the expense of Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance. Any Engineering Controls and Institutional Controls at the Owned Real Property in New Jersey shall be limited to: the maintenance of pavement, building slabs,
          landscaping, or other surfaces as a cap; operation of vapor mitigation systems installed at Seller Parties’ sole cost and expense; a prohibition on the use of groundwater; a prohibition on residential use of the Owned Real Property; ongoing
          groundwater monitoring for purposes of monitored natural attenuation; and the recording of a Deed Notice containing such restrictions and obligations on the use of the Owned Real Property.  Parent Buyer agrees that, upon Parent Buyer’s approval,
          which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller may, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, (i) record a Deed Notice and further amendments thereto documenting the use of such Institutional Controls and/or Engineering Controls; and (ii) establish a
          groundwater Classification Exception Area (“CEA”) on the Owned Real Property, provided that Parent Buyer may withhold (in its sole discretion) its approval of any
          Institutional Controls, Engineering Controls, CEAs or any other land use covenants or restrictions that would materially interfere with the use of, and structures existing at, the Owned Real Property that is consistent with uses occurring as of,
          or in the two (2) years prior to, the Closing Date, including with respect to structures existing at the Owned Real Properties as of the Closing Date.

       

      
        55

        
          

      

      (b)          Without limiting the generality
          of the foregoing, the Seller Parties will (i) retain the services of a “Licensed Site Remediation Professional” or “LSRP,” each as defined in the New Jersey Site Remediation Reform Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1, et seq., (“SRRA”) subject to the prior written approval of Parent Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) prepare and submit in a timely manner all
          NJDEP-required forms, reports and other materials, (iii) except as set forth in Section 7.16(d), pay all fees and assessments required by NJDEP pursuant to ISRA or by
          any other state, county or local Governmental Body related to or arising from the ISRA compliance process, (iv) except as set forth in Section 7.16(d), obtain and
          maintain a remediation funding source, if necessary under ISRA, in the amount determined by the Seller Parties’ LSRP in accordance with applicable requirements, (v) except as set forth in Section 7.16(d), have Seller Representative identified as the person responsible for conducting remediation on any forms or other documents necessary to comply with ISRA, and (vi) except as set forth in Section 7.16(d), have Seller Representative identified on any remedial action permit issued by the NJDEP in connection with the Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance as having the
          primary responsibility for permit compliance.

       

      (c)         The Seller Parties’ obligation
          to achieve Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance shall terminate for each of the Owned Real Properties in New Jersey thirty six (36) months following the  issuance by the Seller Parties’ LSRP of the final site-wide Response Action Outcome (“RAO”) for the relevant Owned Real Property as defined by the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (“ARRCS Rules”), N.J.A.C. 7:26C, et seq., or in the event such RAO is reopened or invalidated by NJDEP or rescinded or withdrawn by the LSRP within the thirty-six month (36) period following issuance of
          such RAO, thirty-six (36) months following the LSRP’s reissuance of an amended RAO, to the extent required for any areas of concern associated with Pre-Closing Contamination at the Owned Real Property that are either (i) identified in reports
          certified by the Seller Parties’ LSRP or (ii) the subject of a re-opener of such RAO within the thirty-six (36) month period following issuance of such RAO.  By way of clarification, if multiple RAOs are issued for a given Owned Real Property,
          which collectively address all of the areas of concern requiring RAOs, the Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance obligations shall terminate thirty-six (36) months following issuance of the last such RAO.  Such RAOs may be in the form of Unrestricted
          Use RAOs, Limited Restricted Use RAOs, and/or Restricted Use RAOs as described in the NJDEP Model Response Action Outcome Document (Appendix D to the ARRCS Rule) and applicable NJDEP guidance on the issuance of RAOs.  The Seller Parties shall be
          responsible to perform all actions necessary to obtain such RAOs, including obtaining a remedial action permit from NJDEP and, except as set forth in Section 7.16(d),
          establishing any financial assurance required as a condition to the issuance of any remedial action permit.

       

      
        56

        
          

      

      (d)          Should the Seller Parties
          satisfy Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance through issuance of Limited Restricted Use RAOs or Restricted Use RAOs, then following issuance of such RAOs, Parent Buyer shall cause GGB LLC or another Buyer entity to assume responsibility at its sole
          cost and expense for operation and maintenance of Engineering Controls, compliance with Institutional Controls, monitoring of groundwater pursuant to a CEA, abandonment of monitoring wells and biennial certifications required to maintain such
          RAOs and compliance with the terms of any relevant remedial action permit for Engineering Controls, Institutional Controls or a CEA (collectively “Post-RAO Care”).  As
          part of these Post-RAO Care obligations, Parent Buyer shall cause GGB LLC or another Buyer entity to  (i) be designated on any remedial action permit as the permittee with primary responsibility for post-RAO remedial action permit compliance,
          (ii) assume responsibility following issuance of the relevant RAO to maintain any financial assurance required as a condition to issuance of any remedial action permit and (iii) assume responsibility for  any post-RAO annual or other fees
          associated with a remedial action permit. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Seller Parties shall be responsible for all costs and expenses arising out of any claim by any Governmental Authority regarding the manner or scope of any and all activities
          taken or implemented by Seller Parties (or any LSRP, consultant or contractor retained by Seller Parties) at or with respect to each of the Owned Real Properties in New Jersey in order to achieve such RAO (including a claim resulting in a
          re-opener of such RAO) for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the issuance of the RAO for any environmental condition for which Seller Parties are obligated to achieve Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance, such thirty-six (36) month period to run
          separately with respect to each such RAO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event any RAO is reopened or invalidated by NJDEP or rescinded or withdrawn by the LSRP within the thirty-six (36) month period following
          issuance of such RAO, Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance obligations shall continue until the LSRP’s reissuance of an amended RAO and for a period of thirty-six (36) months following such issuance. However, Seller Parties shall not have any
          responsibility for any increase in the cost of Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance due to any claim described in this Section 7.9(d) to the extent such claim arises out of
          an act or a change in the use or configuration of structures at the Owned Real Properties following the Closing or due to Post-Closing Contamination or the failure of Parent Buyer to satisfy its Post-RAO Care obligations that triggers additional
          ISRA obligations beyond those that would have been required without such change in use or configuration, Post-Closing Contamination or failure to satisfy Post-RAO Care obligations.

       

      (e)         At least fifteen (15) Business
          Days prior to any filing with NJDEP, the Seller Representative will provide to Parent Buyer for its review and approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, drafts of all submissions related to the Sellers
          Parties’ ISRA Compliance, and the Seller Representative and the LSRP shall incorporate Parent Buyer’s reasonable comments.  The Seller Representative will keep Parent Buyer informed of its progress in achieving the Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance
          by sending to Parent Buyer copies of all material correspondence with and final submissions to NJDEP.

       

      (f)        At least fifteen (15) Business
          Days prior to conducting any of Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance work at any of the Owned Real Properties, the Seller Representative will provide to Parent Buyer for its review and approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
          conditioned or delayed, written drafts of scopes of work, and the Seller Representative and the LSRP shall incorporate Parent Buyer’s reasonable comments. Parent Buyer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to have a representative present
          to observe any or all activities on the Owned Real Property related to the Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance and take split samples at Parent Buyer’s cost and expense.

       

      
        57

        
          

      

      (g)          Seller Parties, Parent Buyer and
          GGB, LLC shall enter into a separate access agreement prior to Seller Parties conducting any Seller Parties’ ISRA Compliance work at the Owned Real Property following Closing.

       

      (h)          The Seller Parties shall not be
          required to remediate or otherwise address any Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any Owned Real Property to the extent occurring first after the Closing Date (“Post-Closing

              Contamination”), provided such Release of Hazardous Materials after the Closing Date was not caused by Seller Parties, such obligations being the sole responsibility of Parent Buyer, and Parent Buyer shall comply with Environmental
          Law in addressing Post-Closing Contamination.

       

      7.17        Restructuring.   To the extent not completed prior to the date of this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) make any changes to the Restructuring or any
        Restructuring Document that would be reasonably likely to result in any material liability or obligation to Parent Buyer or the Company Entities following the Closing without the prior written consent of Parent Buyer.

       

      7.18         Restructuring; Misallocated Assets.

       

      (a)          To the extent not completed
          prior to the date of this Agreement, the Seller Parties and the Company Entities shall complete the transfer of the China Stemco Business pursuant to the Restructuring and any other transaction contemplated by the Restructuring.

       

      (b)          In the event that at any time,
          or from time to time after the Closing Date, any of the Seller Parties on the one hand or the Buyer Parties or the Company Entities on the other hand shall receive or otherwise possess any asset (including cash), or is liable for any liability,
          that in either case should belong to a Buyer Party or Company Entity or to a Seller Party, as applicable, pursuant to the Restructuring Documents, such Person shall promptly transfer,  or cause to be transferred,  such asset or liability to the
          Person so entitled thereto or liable therefor (and the relevant party shall cause the entitled person to accept such asset or assume such liability) for no further consideration than set forth in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing,
          from and after the Closing, (i) the Buyer Parties shall return any assets that were intended pursuant to the Restructuring Documents to be transferred to an Affiliate of EnPro Holdings (other than any Company Entity) but were not so transferred
          prior to the Closing (such assets “Excluded Assets”), and to forward or remit to the Seller Parties any payments received by a Buyer Party or any of their Affiliates
          (including the Company Entities) on account of any Excluded Asset, and (ii) the Seller Parties shall return any assets (including any Intellectual Property) that were intended to be transferred to the Company Entities pursuant to the transactions
          contemplated by the Restructuring Documents (such assets, “Business Assets”) but were retained or are paid to a Seller Party or any of the Seller Parties’ Affiliates
          (whether through failure to transfer such assets out of the Seller Parties or otherwise), and to forward and remit to the Buyer Parties or their Affiliates (including the Company Entities) any payment on account of any Business Assets (including
          any accounts or notes receivable).   Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for such other Person.

       

      
        58

        
          

      

      (c)         Notwithstanding the generality
          of the foregoing, if following the Closing, GGB China is subject to a liability or obligation related to the period prior to the Closing that is unrelated to the Business and instead such liability relates to the China Stemco Business, upon
          written notice from Parent Buyer, the applicable Seller Party shall assume and thereafter be responsible to perform any such liability or obligation to the extent it applies to the China Stemco Business.  If, following Closing, the China Stemco
          Business is subject to a liability or obligation related to the period prior to the Closing that is unrelated to the business of the China Stemco Business but is instead related to the Business, then, upon notice from the Seller Representative,
          GGB China shall assume and thereafter be responsible to perform such liability or obligation to the extent it applies to the Business.

       

      7.19        Environmental Insurance.  Prior to the Closing, Parent Buyer will reasonably cooperate, in good faith, with Seller Representative’s efforts to obtain one or more environmental liability insurance policies
        providing coverage for the Seller Parties with respect to the matters that are the subject of the indemnity in Section 10.2(a)(v) (“Environmental Indemnity Matters”),
        including by jointly working with their respective insurance brokers to contact underwriters and by negotiating coverage; provided, that the final decision of which
        insurance to purchase, if any, shall be made by the Seller Representative.  To the extent one or more environmental liability insurance policies purchased by or on behalf of the Seller Parties (or by the Seller Parties on behalf of Buyers) includes
        coverage for Environmental Indemnity Matters, (i) subject to Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c),
        Buyers will first seek to recover from and make claims against such policies for covered Losses arising from or related to Environmental Indemnity Matters, (ii) Parent Buyer and Seller Representative will actively collaborate, in good faith, in the
        pursuit of such insurance claims with the Seller Parties being responsible to reimburse Buyers for all reasonable related Losses incurred by Buyers as a result of such collaboration or in pursuit of such insurance claims, (iii) Buyers will pay to
        Seller Representative any amount recovered from Buyers’ insurers with respect to Environmental Indemnity Matters minus the amount of any indemnifiable Losses incurred by Buyers and not yet reimbursed by the Seller Parties relating to any such
        Environmental Indemnity Claims, and (iv) Buyer will not modify or amend such policy in a manner adverse to the Seller Parties without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent.   All premiums and other costs associated with insurance
        coverage for the Environmental Indemnity Matters, whether included in a Buyer insurance policy or a Seller insurance policy, will be paid by the Seller Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent Buyer is not obligated to obtain any environmental
        liability insurance policy for the Buyer Parties.

      ARTICLE IX

      TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

       

      9.1           Termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

       

      (a)           by the mutual written consent
          of Parent Buyer and Seller Representative;

       

      (b)          by Parent Buyer or Seller
          Representative, upon written notice to the other, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have not been consummated on or prior to March 5, 2023, or such later date, if any, as Parent Buyer and Seller Representative agree upon in
          writing (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) is not available to any party whose breach of any
          provision of this Agreement results in or causes the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by the Termination Date;

       

      (c)           by Parent Buyer or Seller
          Representative, upon written notice to the other, if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and residing in a jurisdiction in which a Company Entity does business has issued an Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
          consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) is not available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such Order or other action or such party is not in material compliance with its
          obligations under Section 7.6;

       

      
        61

        
          

      

      (d)         by Seller Representative, if (i)
          Buyers have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by Buyers, such that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyers contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such breach or failure to perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof or is
          incapable of being cured by Buyers by the Termination Date; or

       

      (e)         by Parent Buyer, if (i) the
          Seller Parties have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by them such that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied or (ii) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement such that the closing condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, such breach or failure to perform is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
          written notice thereof or is incapable of being cured by the Seller Parties by the Termination Date.

       

      9.2          Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 by either
        Parent Buyer or Seller Representative, this Agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Buyers or the Seller Parties other than the provisions of Section 7.2(b), Section 7.2(c), Section 7.3, this Section 9.2, and Article XI, which will survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein will relieve any party from any liability for Fraud or for
        any pre-termination willful breach by such party of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

       

      ARTICLE X

      REMEDIES

       

      10.1         Survival.  For purposes of this Agreement:

       

      (a)          Other than in the case of Fraud,
          the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date and shall terminate
          effective as of the Closing Date, such that no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect to such
          representations and warranties after the Closing Date.

       

      (b)          Other than in the case of Fraud,
          the covenants and other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement to the extent contemplating or requiring performance by such
          party prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months after which period they shall terminate such that no claim for breach of any such covenant prior to the Closing, detrimental reliance or other
          right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect to such covenants after such survival period.

       

      
        62

        
          

      

      (c)          All other covenants and
          agreements contained in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement that contemplate performance or compliance thereof following the Closing (including, for the avoidance
          of doubt, the indemnification obligations under Section 10.2) will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms.

       

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification asserted prior to the termination date of the applicable survival period will continue
        to survive if a written notice of a breach thereof shall have been timely given to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification is satisfied or otherwise resolved
        as provided in this Article X.

       

      10.2         Indemnification Obligations.

       

      (a)         From and after the Closing, the
          Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and their directors, employees, officers, and Affiliates (including the Company Entities) and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses which any Buyer Indemnified Party suffers arising out of or in respect of:

       

      (i)         any breach, violation,
          non-fulfillment or non-performance of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Seller Parties in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement;

       

      (ii)          any Selling Expenses, but only
          to the extent not taken into account and resolved in the final determination of Selling Expenses pursuant to Section 2.5;

       

      (iii)          Indemnified Taxes;

       

      (iv)          any indemnification obligations
          or alleged indemnification obligations contained in any Contract related to any Divestiture;

       

      (v)        (A) the presence, Release or
          threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials existing as of prior to the Closing at, in, on, under or from any real property, other than the Real Property, formerly owned, leased, operated or occupied by any Company Entity, their current or
          former Affiliates or any of their predecessors in connection with the Business prior to the Closing (each, a “Former Facility”), (B) the transportation, disposal,
          treatment, storage or recycling (or arrangement for any of the foregoing) of any Hazardous Material or waste containing any Hazardous Material generated at any Former Facility by or on behalf of any of the Company Entities, their current or
          former Affiliates or any of their predecessors at or to any location other than the Real Property prior to the Closing or (C) any natural resource damage
          claims, Governmental Authority actions, citizen suits, third party bodily injury claims, any third party property damage claims and other Actions, Orders or demands related to, associated with, caused by, or arising from the actions, conditions
          or circumstances described in subparts (A) and (B) of this clause (v);

       

      
        63

        
          

      

      (vi)        (A) ownership of the Former
          Subsidiaries by the Company Entities prior to the Closing or the activities or operations of the Former Subsidiaries undertaken prior to the Closing and (B) the operation of the China Stemco Business by GGB China arising or related to the period
          prior to the Closing; and

       

      (vii)         the matters set forth on Schedule 10.2(a).

       

      (b)         From and after the Closing,
          Buyers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties and their directors, employees, officers, and Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses which any Seller Indemnified Party suffers arising out of or incurred as a result of any breach, violation, non-fulfillment or
          non-performance of any covenant, obligation or agreement of Buyers in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement.

       

      10.3          Limitations and Additional Matters.

       

      (a)           Other than in the case of any
          act of Fraud, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 10.2 shall not exceed the aggregate amount of net
          proceeds actually received by the Seller Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

       

      (b)         No Indemnified Party shall be
          entitled to recover for any amounts in respect of, and “Losses” for purposes of such claims shall not be deemed to include, exemplary or punitive damages except to the extent actually awarded to a Third Person.

       

      (c)           The Indemnified Party shall
          use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses; provided, however, that the “commercially reasonable efforts” standard set forth in this Section 10.3
          shall not require any Indemnified Party to initiate any litigation, mediation, arbitration or other Action, including against any insurers.  Buyer shall, in response to the assertion of any Third Person Claim against Buyers which is (i) an
          Asbestos Claim that is not a Foreign Asbestos Claim or (ii) a Foreign Asbestos Claim that is asserted in a lawsuit in the United States, promptly provide written notice to such Third Person (with a copy to the Seller Representative) of the
          Asbestos Channeling Injunction (as defined in the Joint Plan) and that the Settlement Facility (as defined in the Joint Plan) has assumed liabilities for Asbestos Claims of Asbestos Protected Parties (as defined in the Joint Plan), the Seller
          Parties and the Company Entities, and direct such Third Person to make such claim to the Settlement Facility.  Such notice shall be in addition to any notice required to be provided to Seller Representative hereunder.

       

      (d)           To the extent an Indemnified
          Party has been indemnified for indemnifiable Losses hereunder and at any time thereafter such Indemnified Party recovers all or a portion of such Losses from a third party other than the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party that made such
          recovery shall promptly refund the Indemnifying Party the amount paid to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such indemnified Losses (net of any fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovery and net
          of any increases in insurance premiums attributable to such claims) up to the lesser of the amount recovered from the third party (net of any fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovery and net of any increases in insurance
          premiums attributable to such claims) and the amount of indemnified Losses paid to such Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such matter.

       

      
        64

        
          

      

      (e)          In no event shall the Seller
          Parties have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any indemnifiable Losses to the extent such indemnifiable Losses have already been taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price (as finally adjusted
          pursuant to Section 2.5).  The intention of this provision is to avoid double-counting of indemnifiable Losses to the extent that a payment or credit with
          respect thereto has already been accounted for in the calculation of the Purchase Price (as finally adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5).

       

      (f)           For all Tax and other
          purposes, all indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless, and then solely to the extent, otherwise permitted by applicable Law.

       

      (g)          Notwithstanding anything herein
          to the contrary, none of the limitations set forth in this Article X shall apply to any claim for indemnification that arises or results from Fraud.

       

      10.4         Direct Claims.  In the event that Parent Buyer seeks indemnification on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Party, or Seller Representative seeks indemnification on behalf of a Seller Indemnified Party, in each case,
        on account of an indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third Person Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”)
        specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount (or a reasonable estimate thereof), to the extent known, of the Direct Claim asserted; provided,
        however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by a failure to timely give such notice unless, and then only to the extent
        that, an Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.  Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a notice pursuant to this Section 10.4, either pay the amount of any valid Direct Claim or deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party disputing such claim in whole or in part.  In cases where the Indemnifying Party disputes a
        Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly consult in good faith with the Indemnifying Party in an effort to resolve the dispute.  If any such dispute cannot be resolved by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30)
        days, the Indemnified Party may seek to enforce its rights under this Article X as set forth in this Agreement.

       

      
        65

        
          

      

      10.5         Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons.

       

      (a)          If an Indemnified Party is
          entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant other than a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (a “Third Person”),
          the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to timely give such
          notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.5,
          the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (a “Defense Notice”) delivered within thirty (30) days after receipt from
          the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to commence investigating, contesting and/or settling the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”).  The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate
          representation is, on the advice of counsel, necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case the reasonable costs of such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  Unless and until the Indemnifying Party provides
          the Defense Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter and to look to the Indemnifying Party for the full amount of the reasonable costs of defense.  In the event that the
          Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within said 30 day period, (i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have the control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim (provided, that it shall obtain the prior
          written consent of the Indemnifying Party to any settlement for which indemnification will be sought hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reasonably cooperate with
          and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing and
          (iv) the Indemnifying Party, if it is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, will be liable for all costs and settlement amounts paid or incurred in connection therewith.  The parties shall make available to each other all
          reasonably relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.

       

      (b)          In the event any Buyer
          Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v) (an “Environmental Claim”), the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying
          Party reasonably prompt notice of the Environmental Claim after such Environmental Claim is actually known to the Buyer Indemnified Party and one or more Seller Parties shall assume the defense of such Environmental Claim. A Defense Notice shall
          not be required with respect to an Environmental Claim and the Seller Parties may commence defending, investigating, contesting and/or settling the Environmental Claim immediately upon notice of such Environmental Claim; provided that, for the
          avoidance of doubt, the obligations of an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.5(c) shall apply to the Seller Parties mutatis mutandis; provided further, that no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume and control defense of the matter, except as provided in Section 10.5(d).

       

      
        66

        
          

      

      (c)          In the event that the
          Indemnifying Party delivers a Defense Notice with respect to such Third Person Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject claim or in the event of an Environmental Claim, (i) the
          Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have control over said defense and, subject to the provisions set forth below, settlement of the subject claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party
          such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing and (iv) the Indemnifying Party must conduct the
          defense of the Third Person Claim with reasonable diligence.  In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which
          consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any Lien on any property of the Indemnified Party, or any sanction or injunction of, restriction upon the
          conduct of any business by or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, in which cases the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be
          required.  The Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Person Claims effected without its consent when such consent is required hereunder.

       

      (d)          Notwithstanding anything to the
          contrary contained in this Section 10.5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in (with counsel of its choosing, at its
          own expense), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control, including the right to select defense counsel, over the defense or settlement of any claim to the extent such claim (i) seeks a temporary restraining order, a
          preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (ii) involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (iii) if unsuccessful, would reasonably be expected to materially exceed the amount set
          forth in Section 10.3(a), as mutually determined by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (iv) subject to clause (iii) above, imposes liability
          on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.  In such event, the Indemnifying Party will still be subject to its obligations hereunder, and the Indemnified Party will not
          settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

       

      10.6         Exclusive Remedy.

       

      (a)          From and after the Closing,
          other than in the case of Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyers and their Affiliates (including the Company Entities from and after the Closing Date) and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, managers,
          agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) for any claim (made before, at, or after the Closing Date)
          related to, based upon, or in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty by the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall be
          to make a claim against its R&W Policy (if any), and Parent Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyers, acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
          partners, members, managers, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Party Persons”) shall not have any direct or
          indirect Losses of any kind or nature whatsoever under this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or entered into pursuant to this Agreement related to, based upon, or in connection with a breach of a representation or
          warranty.  The parties agree that, other than in the case of Fraud, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in
          this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, Fraud) are the
          parties’ contractual rights under Article X and Section 11.13 of this Agreement and the
          rights of Buyers under any R&W Policy.

       

      
        67

        
          

      

      (b)         Parent Buyer, on behalf of
          itself and the other Buyer Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, except for any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or entered into pursuant to
          this Agreement or in the case of Fraud, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Seller Parties or any of its Affiliates relating to the operation of the
          Company Entities, or the Business or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or entered into in connection with this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
          whether arising under, or based upon, any federal, state, local or foreign Law (including common law, and including with respect to conduct which is negligent, grossly negligent, willful, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any
          duty, Law or rule), or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law), whether known or
          unknown, whether fixed or contingent, whether concealed or hidden, whether disclosed or undisclosed, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, whether anticipated or unanticipated, whether suspected or unsuspected,
          are hereby irrevocably waived by the Buyer Parties in their capacity as such.  Furthermore, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Article X,
          no claim (other than claims in respect of any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any schedule, instrument or other document delivered or entered into pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in this
          Agreement) shall be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, any Buyer or any other Buyer Party against any Seller Party Person, and no recourse shall be sought or granted against any Seller Party Person, by virtue of, or based upon, any
          alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties or covenants or agreements of the Seller Parties or any other Seller Party Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any schedule,
          instrument or other document delivered under this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, the schedules, instruments or other documents delivered or executed hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the business,
          the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the Company Entities or the Business, any of their respective assets, or any actions or omissions at, or prior to, the Closing Date.

      10.7         R&W Policy.

       

      (a)         In the event Parent Buyer or any
          of its Affiliates obtains a representation and warranty insurance policy in respect of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (such policy, a “R&W
              Policy”): (i) Parent Buyer shall cause the R&W Policy to expressly exclude rights of subrogation against the Seller Parties, other than rights of subrogation against the Seller Parties with respect to claims of, or causes of
          action arising from, Fraud, (ii) Parent  Buyer will not permit the R&W Policy to be terminated, nor to be amended or modified in a manner adverse to the Seller Parties, nor will Parent Buyer waive or permit to be waived any right under the
          R&W Policy in a manner adverse to the Seller Parties and (iii) Parent Buyer shall cause the Seller Parties and their Non-Recourse Parties to be intended third party beneficiaries of such R&W Policy.  For the avoidance of doubt,
          notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, neither Parent Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is required to obtain a R&W Policy.

       

      (b)          No Buyer shall be entitled to
          recover against the Seller Parties for any Loss arising solely as a result of any non-issuance, termination, expiration, amendment and/or modification of, or the denial of any claim by the insurer for any reason or no reason under, any R&W
          Policy.  All premiums and other costs associated with any R&W Policy will be paid by Buyers.

          each Seller Party and its successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Seller Parties in connection herewith, (ii) execute and deliver and
          receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions

          made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder shall be binding upon each of the Seller Parties, and no Seller Party shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.  For the avoidance of doubt,

      (b)          Such agency may be changed by
          the Seller Representative from time to time upon not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Parent Buyer.  The Seller Representative, or any successor hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by written notice to Parent Buyer.  A
          successor Seller Representative will be named by a majority vote of the Seller Parties.  All power, authority, rights and privileges conferred in this Agreement to the Seller Representative will apply to any successor Seller Representative. 
          Neither the removal of, nor the appointment of a successor to, the Seller Representative shall affect in any manner the validity or enforceability of any actions taken or agreements, understandings or commitments entered into by the prior Seller
          Representative, which shall continue to be effective and binding on the Seller Parties.

       

      (c)           The Seller Representative will
          not be liable to the Seller Parties for any act done or omitted under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith as Seller Representative while acting in good faith, and any act taken or omitted to
          be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith.  Parent Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyers, agrees that no Buyer will look to the assets of the Seller Representative, acting in such
          capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Company Entities (pre-Closing) or the Seller Parties.  In performing any of its duties under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in
          connection herewith, the Seller Representative will not be liable to the Seller Parties for any Losses that such Person may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or any agreements or
          documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, and the Seller Representative will be indemnified and held harmless by the Seller Parties for all Losses, except to the extent that the actions or omissions of the Seller Representative
          constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The limitation of liability provisions of this Section 11.2(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement and
          the resignation of the Seller Representative.

        into pursuant to this Agreement in the manner Parent Buyer believes to be in the best interest of Buyers.  All decisions and actions by Parent Buyer made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder shall be binding upon each Buyer, and
        no Subsidiary Buyer shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to rely on the acts, to the extent authorized hereunder, of Parent Buyer and to

        capacity as representative of Buyers.

      11.18       Representation of Seller Parties and their Affiliates.  Parent Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Parties, that, following the Closing, Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson,
        P.A. (“RBH”) and Bird & Bird LLP (together with RBH, “Seller Counsel”) may serve as
        counsel to Seller Parties and their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Seller Counsel prior to the Closing of the Company Entities.  Parent Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Buyers, and the Company Entities hereby (a)
        waive any claim they have or may have that Seller Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, and (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyers or the
        Company Entities and the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates, Seller Counsel may represent the Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyers or the
        Company Entities and even though Seller Counsel may have represented the Company Entities in a matter substantially related to such dispute.  Parent Buyer represents that Parent Buyer’s own attorney has explained and helped Parent Buyer evaluate
        the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against Seller Counsel, and Parent Buyer’s consent (on behalf of itself and the other Buyers) with respect to this waiver is fully informed.  Buyers and the Company
        Entities also further agree that, as to all communications made before the Closing among Seller Counsel and the Company Entities and Seller Parties or any of the Seller Parties’ Affiliates and representatives, that relate in any way to the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Seller Parties and may be controlled by the Seller Parties and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyers or the
        Company Entities.  In addition, all of the client files and records in the possession of Seller Counsel related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be property of (and be controlled by) the Seller Parties,
        and the Company Entities shall not retain any copies of such records or have any access to them.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyers or the Company Entities and a third party other than a party to this
        Agreement after the Closing, the Company Entities may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Seller Counsel to such third party; provided,
        however, that the Company Entities may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller Representative.

    	4.1

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Offer and/or the NDA, neither EnPro Holdings, EnPro Lux nor the Offeror shall bear any responsibility in case of
              information leakage regarding the Proposed Transaction occurring during the Employees’ Consultation Processes the origin of which is due to the members of the relevant employees' representative bodies participating in the Employees’
              Consultation Processes and not an act or omission of EnPro Holdings or EnPro Lux (in the case of a breach by EnPro Holdings or EnPro Lux) or the Offeror (in the case of a breach by the Offeror).

              ASSIGNMENT

            

    

     

    This Put Option Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
      permitted assigns, but is not assignable by any party (except for Offeror as provided in the following sentence) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.  The Offeror may assign any or all of its rights or obligations under this
      Put Option Agreement without the consent of the other parties hereto to one or more of its Affiliates provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

     

    	6.	
            MISCELLANEOUS

          

     

    	6.1	
            Each of the parties hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Offer, including legal and
              accountant fees and other professional advisors fees.

          

     

    	6.2	
            Any notice and communication made to a party to this Put Option Agreement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7 of the SPA
              (incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis).

          

     

    	6.3	
            No amendments or modifications to this Offer, or waiver of its terms, shall be valid unless acknowledged in a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

          

     

    	6.4	
            Except as expressly provided in this Offer, the failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right to remedy provided by this Put Option Agreement or by Law does
              not impair or constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or an impairment of or a waiver of other rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this Put Option Agreement or by Law prevents further exercise
              of the right or remedy or the exercise of another right of remedy.

          

     

    	6.5	
            The Offeror irrevocably waives any right to terminate this Offer prior to the end of the Offer Period.

          

     

    	6.6	
            Any term or provision of this Offer that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
              invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Offer or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Offer in any other jurisdiction.
              If any provision of this Offer is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

          

     

    
      
        

    

    	6.7	
            If any one of the provisions hereof shall be deemed or become null, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (the "Challenged Provisions"):

          

     

    	

          	-	
            the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and none of the parties shall be entitled
              to claim damages on account of said invalidity or unenforceability;

          

     

    	

          	-	
            the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace the Challenged Provisions with valid and enforceable provisions as close as possible to the common intent of
              the parties.

          

     

    	6.8	
            The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur if any of the provisions of this Put Option Agreement were not performed in accordance with its
              specific terms or was otherwise breached and that any nonperformance or breach of this Offer may not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto may not have any adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the
              parties agree that the parties may be entitled to specific performance and to injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Offer, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to
              any other remedy to which they are entitled hereunder, at law or in equity.

          

     

    	6.9	
            This Put Option Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Put
              Option Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Put Option Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America applicable to contracts made
              and wholly performed within such State, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
              the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if jurisdiction is unavailable in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the courts of the United States located in the State of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is unavailable in the courts of the United States
              located in the State of Delaware, the Delaware Superior Court, in each case, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Put Option Agreement and the other agreements or documents executed and delivered in
              connection herewith and any dispute or controversy related to the transactions contemplated hereby and the parties hereby waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of
              this Offer and the other agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or any dispute or controversy related to the transactions contemplated hereby, that they are not subject thereto or that such action, suit or
              proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Offer may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
              inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon Offeror, EnPro Lux or EnPro Holdings by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail,
              postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.7 of the SPA.

              PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
              FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY HERETO UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY HERETO MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HERETO HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS OFFER BY, AMONG OTHER
