 Section 8. Indemnification. 
 (a) Agreement to Indemnify. 
 (i) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Wolverine, on the
one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, (separately, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other (and the other’s respective officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, and agents)
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and shall pay to such persons and reimburse such persons for, any and all Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: 
 (A) any breach of any representation and warranty of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at
or in connection with the Accelerated Purchase Closing; or 
 (B) any inaccuracy in any representation and warranty of an
Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement as of the Accelerated Closing Date, giving any effect to any written information delivered to the Indemnified Party at or before the Accelerated Purchase Closing; or 
 (C) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party (or with respect to Wolverine, by W/Investments)
contained in this Agreement or in a certificate delivered at the Accelerated Purchase Closing; or 
 (D) any and all
indebtedness, obligations, and other liabilities of W/Investments, whether known or unknown, absolute, contingent, fixed or otherwise (collectively, the “Retained Liabilities”), whether existing, accrued, due or payable or are claimed to
exist or to accrue or be due or payable for any period prior to September 15, 

  

 16 

 
2008 (the “Retained Liabilities Effective Date”), even though such Retained Liabilities are discovered or asserted after the Retained Liabilities
Effective Date. Solely for the purposes of this Section 8(a)(i)(D), the Indemnifying Party shall be Wolverine and the Indemnified Parties shall be Purchaser. 
 (ii) The representations and warranties of Wolverine contained in
Section 4, on the one hand, and of Purchaser contained in Section 6, on the other hand, of this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Accelerated Purchase Closing Date;
provided however, that the representations and warranties concerning taxes contained in Section 4(l) shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations under Applicable Law. The representations and
warranties of Wolverine contained in Section 5 of this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following March 13, 2008; provided, however, in the event Wolverine Shanghai does not
deliver its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Financial Statements”) to Purchaser on or before February 14, 2009, this Agreement shall survive until the thirtieth (30th) day immediately following the date on which the 2008 Financial Statement is actually delivered to Purchaser; and provided further,
however, that the representations and warranties concerning taxes contained in Section 5(k) shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations under Applicable Law. No representation or warranty shall be
deemed to be waived or otherwise diminished unless waived or otherwise diminished by express written consent. A party’s consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby after waiving any of the conditions to its obligation to close
(including the condition that the other party’s representations and warranties be true in all material respects) shall limit or otherwise affect its rights to recover under this Agreement; provided, however, that in
no event shall a party’s decision to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (“Closing Party”) be deemed to waive, limit or otherwise affect the other party’s indemnity obligations hereunder or the Closing Party’s
rights to recover for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4(c), 5(b), and 6(b) of this Agreement. Further, the parties expressly agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8(a)(i), the terms and conditions of Section 8(a)(i) shall be separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Section 8(a)(iv), such that no claim for indemnification
which arises from the indemnification described in Section 8(a)(iv) shall be included in any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) and that no claim for indemnification which arises from the
indemnification described in Section 8(a)(i) shall be included in any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a)(iv). 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnification relating to any goods manufactured, sold, marketed, or distributed or services
provided by Wolverine Shanghai, Wolverine or its other Affiliates, or Purchaser or its Affiliates before the Closing shall not be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but shall be subject to those of the Voting Rights Agreement.

 (iv) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(b) of this Agreement, Wolverine (the
“Chinese Payment Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold each of W/Investments, Wolverine Shanghai, and Purchaser (and the officers, directors, or owners, as the case may be, of W/Investments, Wolverine Shanghai, and
Purchaser) (collectively, the “Chinese Payment Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and shall pay to such persons and reimburse such persons for, any and all amounts actually paid by such Chinese Payment Indemnified Party which
arises directly from or in connection with a claim by the People’s Republic of China that amounts are due from Wolverine Shanghai (or from W/Investments or Purchaser strictly and directly as a result of the direct or indirect, respectively,
ownership of an interest in Wolverine Shanghai) under the local, regional, national or other laws of the People’s Republic of China with respect to the “capital gain” on the sale of the Optioned 20% Interest by Wolverine (that is, a
tax on the difference between the purchase price and the tax basis in the twenty-percent (20%) ownership interest by Wolverine on March 14, 2008) (the “Claimed Chinese Payment”). Purchaser, for itself, or on behalf of
W/Investments or Wolverine Shanghai, as the case may be and as it shall specifically give notice of to Wolverine, shall claim indemnification under this Section 8(a)(iv) 

  

 17 

 
by giving Wolverine written notice of the Claimed Chinese Payment within thirty (30) days after Purchaser receives written notice of such Claimed
Chinese Payment, which notice by Purchaser shall, if and to the extent known by Purchaser after reasonable investigation, set forth the nature and amount of the Claimed Chinese Payment, the person against which such Claimed Chinese Payment is made
by the People’s Republic of China and copies of all relevant documents related to such Claimed Chinese Payment (if such documents are available to Purchaser), and the date when assessed, claimed or incurred. Wolverine shall either pay such
claim by Purchaser or give written notice to Purchaser of Wolverine’s disagreement with such claim, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such disagreement on or before: (A) ten (10) days before the Claimed Chinese
Payment is due or (B) thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s notice of such claim, whichever shall first occur. If Purchaser and Wolverine are unable to resolve any disagreement as provided in Section 9(a), then
Purchaser and Wolverine agree to arbitrate such claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8(a)(iv) as otherwise provided in Section 9. The rights, duties and obligations of the parties contained in this
Section 8(a)(iv) hereof shall survive the Closing until the later of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or final resolution of the Claimed Chinese Payment, if a claim is pending as of the expiration of the statute
of limitations of the Claimed Chinese Payment. 
 (b) Limitations on Indemnity. 
 Notwithstanding any thing set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification shall be required by Wolverine or Purchaser (or otherwise under
this Agreement) unless the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice of a claim specifying the factual basis of such claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the party making such claim on or before a date twelve (12) months
after the Accelerated Purchase Closing Date (or such later date as provided in Section 8(a)(ii), or as otherwise provided for in this Section 8(b)). Except for claims based upon fraud, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct (all of which shall not expire on or before a date twelve (12) months after the Accelerated Purchase Closing Date, or such later date as provided in Section 8(a)(ii)),
the aggregate liability for all indemnification and reimbursement of related expenses described in this Section 8 which shall be paid by Wolverine or by Purchaser shall not exceed the Accelerated Cash Purchase Price; and
indemnification or reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement shall be available only if and to the extent that indemnification or reimbursement of expenses is not available to an Indemnified Party under any policy of insurance or similar
contract. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Accelerated Purchase Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months (or such later period as provided in Section 8(a)(ii), except for claims
that an Indemnifying Party receives written notice of during such twelve (12) month period (or such later period as provided in Section 8(a)(ii)); provided, however, that the obligations of
Wolverine as provided in Section 8(a)(i)(D) with respect to the Retained Liabilities shall survive until the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation under Applicable Law. 
 (c) Procedure for Indemnification – Third-Party Claims. 
 (i) If any person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any claim or demand by any person (other than a party to this
Agreement) against an Indemnified Party or the commencement of any litigation asserting a claim by an independent party which may give rise to any indemnification to an Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Section 8 (a
“Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of the basis for such claim or demand setting forth the nature of the claim or
demand in reasonable detail, as promptly as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of such claim, demand or litigation. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party which may materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Accelerated Purchase Transaction Documents. 
  

 18 

 (ii) If any Third Party Claim Proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party by a
third party and the Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8, the Indemnifying Party shall, unless the claim involves taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to
the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of such Proceeding, if (A) the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party intends to undertake such defense and by such notice it shall be
conclusively established that the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party against all claims for indemnification resulting from or relating to such third-party claim as provided in this
Section 8, (B) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (C) if the Indemnifying Party is a
party to the Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party has not determined in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate. The Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by
the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense or compromise of such claim or demand, provided that all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party (except the fees and expense of
the Indemnified Party’s counsel as set forth in the preceding sentence). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall defend any such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate,
including, without limitation, settling such Third Party Claim or litigation (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), after giving the Indemnified Party reasonable notice of the same, on such terms
as the Indemnifying Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall furnish the
Indemnified Party with copies of all pleadings and other material documents in connection with any such Third Party Claim or Proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall be consulted about (although not in control of) such Third Party Claim or
Proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party such books and records as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party
Claim Proceeding, (X) no compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (1) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party and such settlement has no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and (2) the sole relief
provided is monetary damages that are paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (Y) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability to the Indemnifying Party with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

 (iii) If (A) notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Claim or a Proceeding by
a third party making a claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of
such claim or Proceeding or (B) an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a third party intends to commence a claim or Proceeding which may adversely affect it other than as a result of
monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall (upon notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of such third party’s claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against such Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) and the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any indemnifiable amounts arising from or related to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may elect to participate in such third party claim Proceedings, negotiations or
defense at any time at its own expense and upon giving the Indemnified Party notice of its election to so participate, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with the pleadings, documents, books, and records and shall consult
with the Indemnifying Party. 
  

 19 

 (iv) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this
Section 8, (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof if
such person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree to render (each at its own expense) to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order
to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any third-party claim. 
 (v) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to
indemnification under this Section 8, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product
privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential
information (consistent with Applicable Law), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any
applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege. 
 (d) Indemnification Procedure – Direct Claims. 
 If an Indemnified Party shall claim indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 for any claim other than a Third Party Claim (a
“Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the basis for such claim setting forth the nature and amount of the damages resulting from such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall give written
notice of any disagreement with such claim within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of the claim, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such disagreement. If the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party are unable to resolve any disagreement as provided in Section 9(a), then the parties hereto agree to arbitrate any direct claim for Damages as otherwise provided in Section 9.

amendments of certificates, instruments, or documents as may be required by Applicable Law or may, in the opinion of either Wolverine or Wieland be necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (l) Remedies; Specific Performance. 
 (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no remedy conferred by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy which is otherwise available at law, in equity, by
statute or otherwise under Applicable Law, and a party’s election of any one or more of such remedies shall not constitute a waiver by such party of the right to pursue any other available remedy. Each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy which is available under this Agreement or under Applicable Law. Any reference to law in this Section 11(l) shall be a reference to Applicable Law. 
 (ii) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which a party may have, each
party acknowledges and agrees that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other
equitable relief (without a showing that monetary damages are unavailable, or posting of bond, or other similar actions) for any threatened or actual breach of this Agreement by such other party or any other relevant person.

 25 

 (p) Confidentiality. 
 (i) Except if and to the extent as all other parties shall expressly agree upon in writing, each party agrees (i) to take reasonable
and appropriate efforts to safeguard from disclosure, treat as confidential, and not disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document, other facts related to the activities contemplated by this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, and any and all Confidential Information which it receives pursuant to its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to anyone other than as permitted by this Agreement,
(ii) to not use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than such party’s performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document, and (iii) to not distribute the terms and conditions
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any Confidential Information to any person other than as permitted by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document.
Each party shall have the right to request the return or destruction of any Confidential Information (including all copies) which it has received from another party, and each party shall promptly comply with any such request from another party. Each
party also shall destroy all material prepared by it which is based upon any Confidential Information which it receives from another party; provided, however, a party who returns or destroys any Confidential Information which is
material to its performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not have any liability for its failure thereafter to perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement to which such Confidential Information was material. If
requested by another party, a party (acting through one of its officers or directors) shall promptly certify in writing to the requesting party that such party has returned or destroyed all Confidential Information described in such request.

 (ii) All Confidential Information shall be used by a party solely for the purposes of performing its obligations under this
Agreement or another Transaction Document and not for any other purpose. Each party shall inform each of its officers, directors, employees, representatives, or agents to whom this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document, or any Confidential Information is disclosed of the confidential nature of such information and of the need to maintain such in confidence and shall disclose the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and other Accelerated Purchase Transaction Documents and Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents only on a “need-to-know” basis. 
 (iii) In the event any governmental authority shall request or require (by whatever method or in whatever manner) the disclosure of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any Confidential Information or any information regarding the terms and conditions of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document or the fact of its or their respective existence, the party
receiving such a request or requirement shall promptly give written notice to each of the other parties to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document of such request or requirement so that such other parties shall have an opportunity to seek
an appropriate protective order. The parties to this Agreement and the other Accelerated Purchase Transaction Documents shall cooperate to take reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of another party’s Confidential Information, including seeing
an appropriate protective order, or if the information is required to be disclosed, confidential treatment. The parties also agree that if, in the absence of a protective order, a party is legally required to disclose Confidential Information, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement or another Transaction Document, the fact of this Agreement or another Transaction Document, or other facts related to the activities contemplated by this Agreement or another Transaction Document, such party
may disclose such information (including such Confidential Information) without liability under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, but such party shall not be relieved of any liability under this Agreement or such other Transaction
Document for any previous disclosure by such party (or any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives, or agents) which was not permitted by this Agreement. 
  

 26 

 (iv) This Section 11(p) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement for a period of five (5) years. 
 (q) Plain Meaning; Independent Review. This Agreement shall be construed in its
entirety according to its plain meaning and shall be construed as the product of negotiation at arms’ length between equally sophisticated business persons advised by counsel. Each party acknowledges that such party and its attorneys have been
given an equal opportunity to negotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party or any similar rule operating against the drafter of an
agreement shall not be applicable to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be construed against the party who provided and drafted it.
 EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS THOROUGHLY REVIEWED THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS HAD ACCESS TO LEGAL COUNSEL OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS OF
ITS OWN CHOICE; THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS AGREEMENT WITH SUCH COUNSEL AND/OR ADVISORS TO THE EXTENT IT HAS DEEMED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE; AND THAT IT HAS NOT RELIED UPON THE ADVICE OF ANY OTHER COUNSEL, OR ADVISORS, OR THIRD PARTIES.
