If, however, Buyer submits comments to PKI within such 45-day period, PKI and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences within 30 days. If PKI and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within such 30 day period, then all remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution to the Neutral Accountant, who shall make a final determination as to the disputed items within 30 days after such submission, and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on PKI and Buyer. The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Accountant shall be shared equally between PKI and Buyer. In the event that any subsequent adjustment to the Purchase Price occurs as a result of (A) any indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement, (B) any adjustment to the amount of Assumed Liabilities or (C) for any other reason, PKI shall adjust the allocations under this Section 1.2(b) in such manner as shall be consistent with the original allocation schedules.

-13-


for doubtful accounts), Inventory (net of reserve for excess and obsolete inventory) and other current assets, including Prepaid Assets, deposits and advances, non-trade receivables, capitalized costs, sales and other Non-Income Taxes (including employee related) and any cash and cash equivalents not distributed to, or retained by, Sellers prior to the Closing, but excluding Income Tax related assets, deferred Tax assets, savings plan accruals and investments and Excluded Assets), less the current liabilities of the Business as of the Closing Date (including accounts payable, deferred revenue, compensation and employee benefits, accruals for current liabilities, value-added Taxes, and other Non-Income Taxes, but excluding Income Tax, deferred Tax liabilities and Excluded Liabilities), and shall be calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and on a basis consistent with PKI’s accounting methods, treatments, principles and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial Statements delivered prior to the date hereof pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

(b) If Buyer in good faith disputes the Closing Working Capital Amount as shown on the Closing Working Capital Statement prepared by PKI, Buyer shall deliver to PKI within 45 days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement a statement (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the correct Closing Working Capital Amount and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different Closing Working Capital Amount. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount for a period of 45 days after Buyer has given the Dispute Notice. If the Parties resolve such differences, the Closing Working Capital Amount agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” and the Closing Working Capital Statement agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed to be the “Final Closing Working Capital Statement.”

(c) If the Parties do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Working Capital Amount within 45 days after Buyer has given the Dispute Notice, unless the Parties mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, Ernst & Young LLP (the “Neutral Accountant”) shall resolve such differences, pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by the Parties and the Neutral Accountant, in the manner provided below. The Parties shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among PKI, Buyer and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount; and the Neutral Accountant shall be required to resolve the differences between the Parties and determine the Closing Working Capital Amount within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter. The Closing Working Capital Amount determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement, as adjusted to reflect such determination, shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.

(d) The Neutral Accountant shall not be authorized or permitted to:

(i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount in accordance with this Section 1.4;

 

-14-


(ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Working Capital Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Parties; or

(iii) apply any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other than as described in Section 1.4(a).

(e) PKI, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant; provided that if the Neutral Accountant determines that one Party has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Closing Working Capital Statement that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accountant (i) may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party and (ii) shall provide to the Parties a written explanation of its reasons for making such a determination.

(f) The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4 for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any disputes relating to the Closing Working Capital Amount, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.

(g) Failure of Buyer to deliver a Dispute Notice within 45 days after receiving the Closing Working Capital Statement shall constitute acceptance of the Closing Working Capital Amount set forth on the Closing Working Capital Statement, whereupon such Closing Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Delivery by Buyer of a Dispute Notice shall constitute final and binding acceptance by Buyer of all portions of the Closing Working Capital Statement other than those specifically identified in the Dispute Notice as being subject to a good faith dispute.

(h) If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than $52,000,000, then PKI (as agent for the relevant Seller) shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between $52,000,000 and the Final Closing Working Capital Amount. If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is more than $52,000,000, then Buyer shall pay to PKI (as agent for the relevant Seller) an amount equal to the difference between the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and $52,000,000. Any payment pursuant to this Section 1.4(h) shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or accounts designated by Buyer or PKI, as the case may be, within five Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is determined pursuant to this Section 1.4.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjusted Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price plus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by Buyer to PKI pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.4(h) or minus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by PKI to Buyer pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.4(h).

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.4(b)), as the case may be, would constitute a breach or default thereof, would result in a violation of the rights of any such third party or would otherwise be ineffective. If such consent (a “Deferred Consent”) is not obtained as of the Closing Date, then (a) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (a “Deferred Item”) shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (b) from and after the Closing, the Sellers and Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that Buyer shall reimburse Sellers to the extent Sellers are required to make any payments, and no Seller shall be required to agree to any material undertakings, in connection therewith, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Buyer under which (i) Buyer would obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on the Sellers or any of their Affiliates under the Deferred Item) and (ii) Buyer would assume any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on the Sellers or any of their Affiliates) with respect to the Deferred Item. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

1.6 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Charter and Corporate Records. PKI has made available to Buyer correct and complete copies of the corporate charter and bylaws or other organizational documents (as amended to date) of each Business Subsidiary. The minute books (containing the records of meetings of the stockholders and the board of directors) and the stock record books of each Business Subsidiary are correct and complete in all material respects. None of the Business Subsidiaries is in default under or in violation of any provision of its corporate charter or bylaws or other organizational documents.

2.2 Capitalization; Title to Property.

(a) The capitalization (including the amount of nominal share capital and the number as well as the legal and beneficial owner of all issued shares) of each of the Business Subsidiaries is correctly set forth on the Disclosure Schedule. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of a Business Subsidiary, are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and there has been no repayment of share capital in contravention of applicable Law (including capital maintenance provisions). Except for the Stock, there are no outstanding shares of capital stock, equity interests or other equity securities of any of the Companies. Each Business Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of a Company is wholly owned by such Company. Other than this Agreement, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments to which PKI or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or which are binding upon PKI or any of its Subsidiaries providing for the issuance, disposition, acquisition, redemption or exchange of any shares of capital stock of any Business Subsidiary. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Business Subsidiaries are subject to contractual divestment requirements which may restrict foreign ownership rights or require some or all of the Stock to be transferred to (or new equity capital issued to) entities considered to be domestic entities in the jurisdiction in which they are domiciled. There are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock or similar rights (i) providing for the issuance, disposition or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any Business Subsidiary or (ii) that give any person the right to receive any benefits or rights similar to any rights enjoyed by or accruing to the holders of shares of capital stock of any Business Subsidiary. There are no shareholders’ agreements, voting agreements, voting trusts or proxies with respect to the voting, or registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Stock. “Subsidiary” or collectively, “Subsidiaries” shall mean, when used with reference to any person, any corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, stock company trust or other entity of which such person (either acting alone or together with its other Subsidiaries), directly or indirectly, owns or has the power to vote with respect to 50% or more of the capital stock or other voting interests, the holders of which are entitled to vote for the election of a majority of the board of directors or any similar governing body of such corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company joint venture, stock company, trust or other entity.

(b) All of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock are owned of record and beneficially by one of the Stock Sellers, and in each case such Stock Seller has good title to the Stock owned by it, free and clear of any Security Interest (as defined in Section 2.2(d)), contractual restriction or covenant, option or other adverse claim (whether arising by contract or by operation of law), other than applicable securities Law restrictions.

 

-18-


(c) Each Asset Seller has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the material property and assets included in the Acquired Assets of such Asset Seller, free and clear of any Security Interests.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Security Interest” means any mortgage, pledge, security interest, conditional and installment sale agreement, option to purchase or lease, right of first offer, right of first refusal, encumbrance, hypothec, charge or other lien (whether arising by contract or by operation of Law), other than (i) mechanic’s, materialmen’s, landlord’s and similar liens arising by operation of Law, (ii) liens arising under worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, retirement and similar legislation, (iii) liens on goods in transit incurred pursuant to documentary letters of credit, in each case arising in the ordinary course of business, (iv) liens for Taxes not yet due and payable, (v) liens for Taxes which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, (vi) liens relating to capitalized lease financings or purchase money financings that have been entered into in the ordinary course of business, (vii) liens arising solely by action of Buyer, and (viii) liens which do not materially and adversely impair the use or value of the Acquired Assets and the assets of the Business Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(e) There is no Indebtedness of the Business (including any Business Subsidiary) other than Indebtedness of any Asset Seller that shall constitute an Excluded Liability and other than capitalized leases with aggregate payment obligations following the Closing Date not exceeding $200,000. There is no purchase money debt or earnouts of the Business other than any purchase money debt or earnouts of the Business that constitute Excluded Liabilities. The Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date hereof, all letters of credit, guarantees and letters of comfort and other borrowings or obligations of the Business that are subject to any guarantee, letter of comfort or similar assurance provided by PKI or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Business Subsidiaries). As used herein, the term “Indebtedness” shall mean each of the following obligations: (i) any obligation for borrowed money or issued in substitution for or exchange of indebtedness for borrowed money other than trade payables, accounts payable and other current liabilities, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business; (ii) any obligation evidenced by any note, bond, debenture or other debt security; (iii) any obligations under capitalized or synthetic leases (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) with respect to which any such person is liable, contingently or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or with respect to which obligations any such person assures a creditor against loss; and (iv) any fees, penalties, premiums or accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the foregoing (in the case of prepayments or otherwise).

2.3 Authority. PKI has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated herein to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and each Seller has all requisite corporate or partnership (as applicable) power and authority to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and such other agreements contemplated herein by PKI, the performance by PKI of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by PKI of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of PKI. As of the Closing, the performance by each Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated herein to which such Seller will be a party

 

-19-


and the consummation by each Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Seller. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by PKI and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Buyer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of PKI, enforceable against PKI in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses.

2.4 Noncontravention. Subject to compliance with the applicable requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “Hart Scott-Rodino Act”) and applicable foreign antitrust, foreign investment or trade regulation Laws, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by PKI, nor the consummation by any Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, will:

2.5 Subsidiaries. Other than any Business Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of another Business Subsidiary, none of the Business Subsidiaries controls, directly or indirectly, or has any direct or indirect equity participation or investment in, any corporation, limited liability company, unlimited liability company, partnership, trust or other business association (other than in a money market, mutual fund or other short-term investment).

2.6 Financial Statements. PKI has provided to Buyer copies of the consolidated balance sheets of the Business as of the last day of each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 2010 and as of July 4, 2010, and consolidated income statements for the Business for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 2010 and for the six-month period ended July 4, 2010 (collectively, with any quarterly financial statements furnished to Buyer pursuant to Section 4.5, the “Financial Statements”).

Subject to and excluding intercompany balances with businesses retained by PKI (which shall be fully settled on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof), allocations of corporate level expenses and other Excluded Liabilities, the Financial Statements accurately reflect in all material respects the financial position and results of operations of the Business (but without regard to Income Taxes) taken as a whole as of the respective dates and for the periods covered thereby. PKI has also provided to Buyer true and correct copies of its monthly financial statements for the period ended August 1, 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with PKI’s customary accounting policies and procedures applied on a consistent basis and pursuant to PKI’s books and records.

2.7 Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Balance Sheet Date, there have not been any adverse changes in the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Business, except for any adverse changes that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect.

2.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Each Business Subsidiary and each Asset Seller has filed or had filed on its behalf all material Tax Returns (as defined below) that it was required to file (separately or as part of a consolidated, combined or unitary group) and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Each Business Subsidiary and each Asset Seller has paid (or had paid on its behalf) all Taxes (as defined below) that are shown to be due on any such Tax Returns. All Taxes that each Business Subsidiary and each Asset Seller is or was required by Law to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Entity. No Business Subsidiary or Asset Seller (with respect to the Business) has any liability for unpaid Taxes (other than any such Taxes not yet due and payable) and no Business Subsidiary or Asset Seller (with respect to the Business) has ever received a refund in respect of Taxes to which it was not entitled. The unpaid Non-Income Taxes of each Business Subsidiary and each Asset Seller with respect to the Business for Tax periods through the date of the Most Recent Balance Sheet do not exceed the accruals and reserves for Non-Income Taxes set forth on the Most Recent Balance Sheet, and all unpaid Non-Income Taxes of each Business Subsidiary and each Asset Seller with respect to the Business for all Tax periods commencing after the date of the Most Recent Balance Sheet arose in the ordinary course of business. The terms of all duty or tax facilities or exemptions provided have been complied with in all material respects and the compliance duly documented. For purposes of this Agreement, “Taxes” means all taxes, including income, gross receipts, ad valorem, value-added, goods and services, excise, profit, severance, production, license, payroll, alternative or add-on, stamp, real property, personal property, sales, use, transfer, withholding, employment and franchise taxes or any other tax or custom duty of any kind imposed by the United States of America or any state, province, local or foreign government, or any agency thereof, or other political subdivision of the United States or other foreign country or any such government or

 

-23-


agency thereof, and any interest, penalties, assessments or additions to tax resulting from, attributable to or incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or any contest or dispute thereof (in any case including any amounts imposed as secondary liability, in particular, but not limited to, Sections 73 and 75 of the German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung)). “Income Taxes” means any and all Taxes imposed upon or otherwise based upon the income of the applicable person. “Non-Income Taxes” means all Taxes other than Income Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax Returns” means all reports, returns, declarations, statements, forms, information returns or other information required to be supplied to a taxing authority in connection with Taxes.

(b) No examination or audit of any Business Subsidiary or (with respect to the Business) Asset Seller (or of any consolidated, combined or unitary group for a period for which the activities of any Business Subsidiary or (with respect to the Business) Asset Seller were included on the Tax Return of such group) by any Governmental Entity is currently in progress or, to Sellers’ knowledge, threatened or contemplated. None of the Business Subsidiaries or the members of any consolidated, combined or unitary group with which any Business Subsidiary has filed group Tax Returns has been notified in writing by any jurisdiction that the jurisdiction believes that any Business Subsidiary was required to file any Tax Return or that the consolidated, combined or unity group with respect to which any Business Subsidiary filed Tax Returns for any period was required to file any Tax Return for such period that was not filed.

(c) None of the Business Subsidiaries has been a member of a group with which it has filed or been included in a combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return relating to Income Taxes other than a group the common parent of which was PKI or a Subsidiary of PKI. None of the Business Subsidiaries is liable for the Taxes of any taxpayer other than PKI and its Subsidiaries under Reg. § 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise for any taxable period ending (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.2(b) to be ending) on or before the Closing Date.

(d) The Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag) entered into between PKI German Parent and PKI Germany Elcos on November 24, 2005, terminated as of the Closing Date, was valid from German corporate and tax law perspective and has been in operation in compliance with the applicable corporate and Tax law requirements until and including December 31, 2009. The Tax group (Organschaft) thereby established between PKI German Parent and PKI Germany Elcos has been and will be recognized for Tax purposes from January 1, 2005, onwards until and including December 31, 2009.

(e) No Tax liens that constitute Security Interests have been filed with respect to any Taxes of a Business Subsidiary or any of the Acquired Assets. There are no outstanding waivers or comparable consents regarding the application of the statute of limitations or reassessment periods with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Business Subsidiary. PKI Sensors and the other U.S. Subsidiaries included in the Business Subsidiaries are not required to include in income any adjustment pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a voluntary change in accounting method initiated by Sellers or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries. None of the Business Subsidiaries have filed with respect to any item a disclosure statement pursuant to Section 6662 of the Code or any comparable disclosure with respect to foreign, state and/or local Tax statutes.

 

-24-


(f) None of the Stock or the Acquired Assets constitute “taxable Canadian property” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”).

(g) No Taxes levied by the Canadian federal government, a provincial, municipal, local government in Canada, or any Canadian Governmental Entity, including Canadian Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales Tax, will be exigible in respect of the purchase or sale of the Acquired Assets. The purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets will not be subject to the goods and services Tax or harmonized sales Tax under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada), to Quebec sales Tax under an Act respecting the Quebec sales Tax, nor to any other value added Tax imposed by the Federal Government of Canada, or a province, municipality or local government thereof.

(h) PKI Canada has not entered into an agreement contemplated by section 191.3 of the ITA.

2.10 Tangible Personal Property. One of the Business Subsidiaries or one of the Sellers has good title to, a valid leasehold interest in or a valid license to use, all of the material tangible personal property (the “Personal Property”) reflected on the Most Recent Balance Sheet (other than Personal Property sold, consumed or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Most Recent Balance Sheet), free and clear of all Security Interests. The Personal Property, taken as a whole, is in good operating condition for the uses to which it has been put for the operation of the Business, subject to ordinary wear and tear and ordinary maintenance requirements.

2.11 Real Property.

(a) Owned Real Property. The Disclosure Schedule lists the property address of all Owned Real Property. The Owned Real Property includes all real property owned by each Asset Seller (insofar as it relates to the Business) and the Business Subsidiaries, including the Hereditary Building Right Property. With respect to each piece of Owned Real Property:

(i) the applicable Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary has good and clear title to the Owned Real Property, free and clear of all Security Interests, except for Security Interests which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) to Sellers’ knowledge, there is no pending or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or taking proceeding, zoning application or proceeding, or other material claim, action or proceeding or other matter relating to the Owned Real Property, or portion thereof or interest therein; and

(iii) there are no leases, subleases, licenses or agreements granting to any party or parties (other than the Asset Sellers or the Business Subsidiaries) the right of use or occupancy of any portion of such Owned Real Property.

PKI has made available to Buyer correct and complete copies of the leases and subleases (as amended, modified and restated to date) for all of the Leased Facilities (the “Leases”). With respect to each such Lease:

(i) the Lease is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the applicable Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary (as the case may be) and, to Sellers’ knowledge, each other party to such Lease, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses and each Lease is in full force and effect with respect to the applicable Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary (as the case may be) and, to Sellers’ knowledge, each other party to such Lease;

(ii) no Asset Seller, Business Subsidiary or, to Sellers’ knowledge, any other party to the Lease is in breach or default and, to Sellers’ knowledge, no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration thereunder, except for any such breach or default that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect; and

(iii) no Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary has assigned, transferred, conveyed, mortgaged, deeded in trust or encumbered any interest in the leasehold or subleasehold to the Lease and the applicable Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary is currently in occupancy of all such Leased Real Property.

(c) Neither the Asset Sellers (insofar as it relates to the Business) nor any Business Subsidiary holds any option or is subject to any contractual obligation to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire an interest in any real property.

2.12 Intellectual Property.

(a) The Disclosure Schedule lists all Acquired Intellectual Property which is material Intellectual Property that has been issued, registered, renewed or is the subject of a pending application for registration (“Registered”).

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each employee, agent, consultant or third party contractor involved in the creation or development of the inventions claimed in the Acquired Intellectual Property which is Designated Intellectual Property has properly and validly assigned all rights, title and interest in such Intellectual Property to the relevant Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary and all amounts due and owing to such employee, agent, consultant or third party contractor in consideration of such assignment has been paid and discharged in full, except to the extent that such failure to assign such rights or make such payments, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Sellers has used commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality and value of the material Trade Secrets included in Acquired Intellectual Property, including establishing measures and/or procuring agreements applicable to Sellers’ and their affiliates’ employees, contractors and advisors restricting the access, use and disclosure of material Trade Secrets included in Acquired Intellectual Property by such persons.

Buyer hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, with which Buyer is familiar, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that Buyer will have no claim against PKI or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors, or any other person or entity, with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of PKI or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors, nor any other person or entity, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans).

Veritas has all requisite partnership power and authority to execute and deliver the Veritas Guarantee and perform its obligations thereunder and the execution and delivery of the Veritas Guarantee by Veritas and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary partnership action on the part of the Veritas. The Veritas Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Veritas and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Veritas, enforceable against Veritas in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses.

Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees to notify PKI promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) a Debt Commitment Letter expires or is terminated for any reason (or if any person attempts or purports in writing to terminate a Debt Commitment Letter, whether or not such attempted or purported termination is valid), (ii) the lender refuses to provide or expresses an intent to refuse to provide all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by a Debt Commitment Letter to which it is a party on the terms set forth therein or (iii) Buyer no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on substantially the terms described in the Debt Commitment Letters.

(c) If all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in a Debt Commitment Letter or a Debt Financing Agreement, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to promptly obtain such Debt Financing from alternative sources on terms, including with respect to the conditionality thereof, not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Buyer than the terms and conditions in such Debt Commitment Letters and in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is otherwise available, to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Purchase Price and all payments, fees and expenses of Buyer related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Alternative Debt Financing”) and to obtain one or more new financing commitment letters (each, an “Alternative Debt Commitment Letter”) and one or more new definitive agreements (each, an “Alternative Debt Financing Agreement”) providing therefor. In such event, the term “Debt Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Financing, the term “Debt Commitment Letters” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Commitment Letter and the term “Debt Financing Agreement” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Financing Agreement. Buyer will furnish correct and complete copies of any Alternative Debt Commitment Letter or Alternative Debt Financing Agreement to PKI promptly upon its execution.

(d) PKI shall, and shall cause the Asset Sellers and the Business Subsidiaries to, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with such cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including the syndication thereof (which syndication, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be a prerequisite to funding of the Debt Financing)) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, provided that (i) such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of PKI and its Subsidiaries and (ii) neither PKI nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability (and, for avoidance of doubt, excluding any allocable overhead costs) in connection with the Debt Financing. Buyer shall, promptly upon request by PKI, reimburse PKI for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by PKI or any of its subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Such cooperation will include (A) assistance in Buyer’s preparation of any bank books, rating agency presentation materials or other similar offering materials in connection with the Debt Financing, (B) reasonably promptly responding to any diligence inquiries of the banks engaged for, or the lenders in, such Debt Financing, (C) providing Buyer with reasonable assistance in Buyer’s efforts to obtain subordination and non-disturbance agreements, landlord waivers, collateral access agreements, account control agreements, consents, and other customary agreements from the Business’ landlords, depositary banks or other third parties as may be requested by the sources of the Debt Financing, and (D) making appropriate officers and employees of the Business available, at such times and in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Business, for participation in meetings with, or presentations to, prospective participants in such Debt Financing or the prospective rating agencies for such Debt Financing. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding PKI or its subsidiaries obtained by Buyer or its representatives pursuant to this Section 4.7(d) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless PKI and its representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of

 

-50-


them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical financial statements referenced in Section 2.6 and other historical information reasonably requested by Buyer and specifically approved in writing by PKI for use therein (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)).

4.8 Elimination of Intercompany Items. Effective as of the Closing, all payables, receivables, liabilities and other obligations between the Business (including the Business Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and PKI and any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Business Subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall be eliminated (it being the intention of the Parties that payables, receivables, liabilities and other obligations between the Business Subsidiaries shall not be eliminated), except (a) for the arrangements described on Schedule 4.8 and (b) to the extent expressly provided for herein.

4.9 Intellectual Property. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall execute and record, or cause to be executed and recorded, such assignments and other documents for filing in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, and, where practicable using reasonable efforts, other official offices (including foreign and supranational offices anywhere in the world) as may be necessary to confirm and effect the relevant Asset Seller’s or Business Subsidiary’s record ownership interest in, and free and clear title to, all Registered Acquired Intellectual Property (except for the ownership interest of any co-owner who is not an Asset Seller or Business Subsidiary).

4.10 Notification of PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees. PKI shall cause PKI Germany Opto to inform, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and if possible not less than one (1) month before the Closing Date, all PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees about their transfer to the German Transferee in accordance with Section 613a para. 5 of the German Civil Code.

This statement shall include a section about economic difficulties of Buyer and the German Transferee, if any, and restructuring plans of Buyer or the German Transferree, if any, and about applicable social plans, if any, in the case of a restructuring.

4.11 Consultation with Works Council of PKI Germany Opto.

(a) The Parties agree that the transfer of the Business Employees currently employed by PKI Germany Opto to the German Transferee shall in the end result in a split (Betriebsspaltung) within the meaning of Sec. 111 No. 3 of the German Works Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) of PKI Germany Opto’s operation in Wiesbaden and that such a split triggers an obligation of PKI Germany Opto to negotiate with the works council of PKI Germany Opto a reconciliation of interests (Interessenausgleich) and a social plan (Sozialplan) in accordance with Sections 111 et. seq. of the German Works Constitution Act.

(b) PKI shall cause PKI Germany Opto to initiate discussions and negotiations with its works council on the separation of the portion of the Business conducted by PKI Germany Opto from the existing PKI Germany Opto operation in Wiesbaden (including Walluf) with the objective of reaching a reconciliation of interests (Interessenausgleich) with the works council pursuant to sections 111 et. seq. of the German Works Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). PKI shall cause PKI Germany Opto to use its reasonable best efforts to reach such a reconciliation of interests (Interessenausgleich) and, if required, a social plan (Sozialplan) no later than the Closing. PKI shall inform Buyer about the status of the negotiation on the reconciliation of interests and social plan as well as the contents of the respective agreements upon Buyer’s request made not more often than weekly and PKI and Buyer shall fully co-ordinate on the negotiations. Any benefits or employment protection granted to the Business Employees of PKI Germany Opto in the course of the negotiations with the works council shall be subject to Buyer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The obligations of PKI, Buyer and German Transferee (including especially the financial obligations) resulting from the reconciliation of interests (Interessenausgleich) and a social plan (Sozialplan) are set forth in Section 9.5.

(c) Should an agreement referred to in Section 4.11(b) not be reached by the Closing Date, PKI Germany Opto and the German Transferee shall enter into an agreement on the operation of a joint business unit (Gemeinsamer Betrieb in the meaning of German works council law) (“Joint Operation”) for an interim period following the Closing Date, which shall contain the following provisions:

(i) Term of Joint Operation. PKI Germany Opto and the German Transferee shall agree to exercise joint control of the PKI Wiesbaden operation in a manner that makes the PKI Wiesbaden operation a Joint Operation (Gemeinsamer Betrieb). The joint control shall commence with the effectiveness of the transfer of the employment of the Business Employees currently employed by PKI Germany Opto to German Transferee (planned to occur on the Closing Date) and continue until the first to occur of (A) the date on which a final agreement on a reconciliation of interests (Interessenausgleich) is reached with the works council pursuant to Section 4.11(b) and (B) the date on which the negotiations have finally failed, permitting PKI Germany Opto to carry out the split and separation without the works council’s prior consent (such period being referred to herein as the “Term of the Joint Operation”).

(ii) Management. During the Term of the Joint Operation management of the PKI Wiesbaden operation will be subject to the following rules: The Wiesbaden Operation will, in all material social and personnel affairs of the employees, be jointly managed by PKI Germany Opto and German Transferee (“Joint Management”). Business

 

-52-


decisions, other than those relating to social and personnel affairs of the employees, shall not be subject to the Joint Management, and PKI Germany Opto shall not be permitted to interfere with any of Buyer’s or German Transferee’s such business decisions and Buyer and German Transferee shall not be permitted to interfere with any of PKI’s or PKI Germany Opto’s business decisions. Joint Management will meet on a weekly basis and, upon request of one managing director, will meet more frequently. Decisions of Joint Management must be made unanimously. Decisions will be made in good faith based on the principles and the spirit of this Section 4.11 while observing applicable German Law, including works council co-determination rights and employee protection rights. In case unanimity can not be achieved, Buyer and PKI will jointly instruct Joint Management how to decide. If requested, Joint Management will be informed about this joint decision in writing. The decision of Buyer and PKI on this joint instruction will be made within one (1) week after the need for a decision arises and such decision will be made in good faith based on the principles and the spirit of this Section 4.11 while observing applicable German Law, including works council co-determination rights and employee protection rights.

(iii) Organization and HR responsibilities. The organization of the PKI Wiesbaden operation as in effect before the Closing Date will remain substantially unchanged through the Term of the Joint Operation. The joint responsibility for all essential personnel and social matters (wesentliche personelle oder soziale Angelegenheiten) regarding the employment of the employees belonging to the Joint Operation will lie with the human resources director of the Joint Operation (with the current HR Director continuing to exercise this role and function) and the team of the human resources director as far as it falls into their scope of tasks and competencies as they were in effect before the Closing Date. The human resources director shall (A) be subject to the instructions of German Transferee in respect of all decisions relating solely to employment relationships of New Business Employees and (B) be subject to the instructions of PKI Germany Opto in respect of all decisions relating solely to employment relationships of any other employees. In all affairs that are (X) not covered by the scope of the human resources director’s responsibility and (Y) relate to all employees of the Joint Operation, decisions will be made by the Joint Management.

(iv) Businesses of IDS and Medical Imaging. All day-to-day management of the businesses of PKI Germany Opto and German Transferee will be carried out, and decisions on essential personnel and social matters of the employees who respectively belong to either the business of PKI Germany Opto and German Transferee will be taken in the same manner and by the same functions as in effect before the Closing Date. All decisions relating solely to employee relations of New Business Employees shall be subject to the instructions of German Transferee and all decisions relating solely to employment relations of any other employees shall be subject to the instructions of PKI Germany Opto. The organizational and management principles that apply before Closing Date are set forth in Schedule 4.11(c)(iv).

(v) Negotiation with Works Council. The negotiation with the works council necessary to effect the split of the PKI Wiesbaden operation will continue to be led by the human resources director of the Joint Operation (with the current human resources director continuing to have this function). If for any reason the current human resources director is prevented from or is unable to carry out and complete this negotiation, Joint Management will agree upon a substitute human resources manager.

 

-53-


(vi) Cost Allocation Without limiting Buyer’s consent rights under Section 4.11(b), all costs incurred during the term of the Joint Operation will be borne by the party which would have been liable for these cost items under this Agreement if the split of the operation had been effected at Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(b).

(vii) No Protective Effect on Third Parties. This Section 4.11(c) shall not create any rights of third parties (i.e. it is no “Vertrag zugunsten Dritter” or “Vertrag mit Schutzwirkung für Dritte”), including the employees and the works council of the PKI Wiesbaden Operation.

4.12 Notification of PKI Singapore Acquired Employees. PKI shall cause PKI Singapore to duly notify, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and if at all possible not less than one (1) month before the Closing Date, all employees of PKI Singapore that are employed within the Business and who fall within the definition of an “employee” under the Employment Act, Cap. 91 of Singapore (“PKI Singapore Acquired Employees”) and the trade union of which any PKI Singapore Acquired Employees are members, of the Singapore Transfer and the transfer of the employment of the PKI Singapore Acquired Employees to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates in accordance with Section 18A of the Employment Act, Cap. 91 of Singapore and shall inform Buyer of any inquiry which PKI Singapore may receive from the Commissioner for Labour of Singapore with regard to such transfer or any objection PKI Singapore may receive from any PKI Singapore Acquired Employee to the transfer of their employment to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates.

4.14 Transfer of Lease. PKI shall use its reasonable efforts to procure that PKI Q-Arc shall apply for the relevant consents, and on obtaining such consents, (a) shall assign its rights and obligations under the lease dated 5 June 2002 of premises at 31-35 Bar Hill Business Park, Saxon Way, Bar Hill, Cambridge, England (the “Cambridge Premises”) in accordance with the provisions set out in Schedule 4.14 attached hereto and (b) subject to completion of the assignment referred to in clause (a) above, PKI UK Holdings shall apply for the relevant consents and on obtaining such consents shall underlet part of the Cambridge Premises to Buyer at Closing in accordance with the provisions set out in Schedule 4.14 attached hereto.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, all claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party (as defined in this Section 6.3(a)) shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party; provided that failure to provide such prompt written notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that it is prejudiced by such failure. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or claim shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel per jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties (it being understood that in the case of claims regarding jurisdictions other than the United States of America, the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to engage both

 

-59-


United States counsel and counsel in the relevant foreign jurisdiction). The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall reasonably consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI which is not subject to Section 6.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”), to the extent then known, of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.14.

6.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of PKI and Buyer set forth in this Agreement and the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Sections 5.1(d) and 5.2(d) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties of PKI contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 and of Buyer contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation and (ii) the representations and warranties of PKI contained in Section 2.9 shall expire upon the occurrence of the Closing.

(b) None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance

 

-60-


after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing only until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreement and covenant.

(c) No Party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof; provided that any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim shall survive until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) Subject to Section 10.13 and except with respect to claims made pursuant to Section 1.4, Section 6.2(b) or Article VIII, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.13, from and after the Closing, the rights of Buyer and Sellers under Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Sellers with respect to the subject matter of Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing three sentences, in the absence of actual fraud, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the following four limitations shall apply:

(i) the aggregate liability of PKI for all Damages under Section 6.1(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to $48,200,000;

(ii) no individual claim or series of related claims for indemnification under Sections 6.1(a)(i) or 6.2(a)(i) shall be valid and assertable unless it is (or they are) for an amount in excess of $25,000;

(iii) PKI shall be liable under Section 6.1(a)(i) for only that portion of the aggregate Damages under such sections, considered together, which exceeds $4,820,000 (it being understood that PKI shall not be liable, in any event, for the first $4,820,000 of said Damages under Section 6.1(a)(i), considered together); and

(iv) Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification with respect to any matter to the extent the Purchase Price has been adjusted to reflect such matter pursuant to Section 1.4, and the amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI, or under Articles VIII or IX, shall be calculated net of any specific accruals, reserves or provisions reflected in the Final Closing Working Capital Statement relating thereto;

provided, however, that the limitations of Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to any claim described in clause (ii) of Section 6.1(a) to the extent relating to any breach of a post-closing covenant of PKI, paragraph (b) of Section 6.1 or paragraphs (b) through (d) of Section 6.2 or for any post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4.

 

-61-


(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI that are (i) consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminutions in value, special or punitive or otherwise not actual Damages or (ii) without limiting the ability of an Indemnified Party to assert claims for indemnification in accordance with Section 6.3, contingent, unless and until such Damages are actual and mature. Buyer shall (and shall cause the Business to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to mitigate the Damages for which indemnification is provided to Buyer by PKI under Article VI.

(d) Sellers shall not have any right of contribution against the Business with respect to any breach by PKI of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer hereby waives and releases (and shall cause each of the Business Subsidiaries to waive and release), any claim that such Business Subsidiary may have against any Seller or their respective Affiliates.

(e) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall take into account any (i) related recoveries which the Indemnified Party actually receives from insurance policies on account of the matter resulting in such Damages, net of actual costs of collection, and (ii) Tax benefit or detriment arising from the occurrence of such Damages or the receipt or accrual of any indemnity payment in respect of such Damages, in each case, to the extent such benefit or detriment is actually recognized in the taxable year in which such indemnity payment is made, in a prior taxable year or in any of the immediately following three (3) taxable years, the amount of such benefit or detriment to be determined by comparing the amount of the Indemnified Party’s Tax liability taking into account the Tax benefit or detriment, or both, arising from the occurrence of such Damages or the receipt or accrual of such indemnity payment, or both, with the amount of Tax liability such Indemnified Party would have incurred in the absence of such Tax benefit or detriment, or both. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims and Tax benefits to which it reasonably believes it is entitled in connection with any Damages it incurs, and each of Buyer, Sellers and the Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification claim shall cooperate with each other in pursuing such insurance claims with respect to any Damages. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment or Tax benefit in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 10 days of receiving such insurance payment or Tax benefit, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments or Tax benefit received, net of actual costs of collection, over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VI.

(f) Buyer agrees that to the extent any representation or warranty of PKI made in this Agreement is, to the actual knowledge of Buyer on the date of this Agreement, untrue or incorrect, Buyer shall have no rights under Article VI for indemnification for Damages arising out of such failure to be true or correct.

6.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price.

ARTICLE VII

(a) the Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent;

(b) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to PKI if any of the conditions precedent under Section 5.1 hereof have become incapable of fulfillment;

(c) PKI may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions precedent under Section 5.2 hereof have become incapable of fulfillment;

(d) Buyer or PKI may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2010 (the “Outside Date”) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof;

(e) Buyer may terminate this Agreement within 15 days following delivery by PKI to Buyer of an update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 9.4(b) which contains new disclosure of any event or development that would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect; and

(f) PKI may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer if, after the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) and (e) through (i) and (k) of Section 5.1 have been satisfied, PKI has indicated in writing to Buyer (such notice, the “Satisfaction Notice”) that such conditions have been so satisfied and that the conditions set forth in clauses (d) and (j) of Section 5.1 will be satisfied at the Closing (the Satisfaction Notice not to constitute a waiver of any requirement that any condition shall actually be satisfied at the Closing), and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated by the closing of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of the Satisfaction Notice under circumstances constituting a Debt Financing Failure (as hereinafter defined), provided that such conditions remain satisfied at the closing of business on such fifth (5th) Business Day. A “Debt Financing Failure” shall mean circumstances where the proceeds available to Buyer from the Debt Financing on terms and conditions that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to Buyer and its Affiliates (and, assuming the Closing, the Business) than the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement are not sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by Buyer at Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Purchase Price and all payments, fees and expenses of Buyer related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

-63-


provided, however, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses (b) through (d) if the basis for termination results from a material breach by such Party of any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement.

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any of the Parties or their respective officers, directors or Affiliates arising from this Agreement; provided that the provisions of Sections 4.15 (Pre-Closing Transition Services), 7.3 (Termination Fee) and 9.1(h) (Confidentiality), this Section 7.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article X (Miscellaneous) of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 10.13 in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.

7.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement by PKI pursuant to Section 7.1(f), Buyer shall pay to PKI a termination fee of $28,920,000. The termination fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds within 10 Business Days after the demand therefor, which demand may only be made following the proper termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f).

(b) In the event that PKI shall receive full payment pursuant to Section 7.3(a) of the amounts due thereunder, the receipt of such payment shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by PKI or any other person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination of this Agreement), the transactions contemplated this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither PKI nor any other person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, any Person that has committed to arrange, syndicate, underwrite or provide Debt Financing, has entered into the Debt Commitment Letters or has otherwise entered into agreements in connection with the Debt Commitment Letters or any joinder agreements, indentures or credit agreements entered into pursuant thereto or relating thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including each party named in Section 3.7 together with their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives involved in the Debt Financing and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Debt Financing Source”) arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated this Agreement or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered Buyer to pay a termination fee pursuant to Section 7.3(a), PKI shall not be entitled to enforce such order if (i) Buyer delivers to PKI, within five (5) Business Days following the issuance of such order, a notice electing to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance Article I of this Agreement and (ii) the Closing occurs within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of such notice.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 7.3(b), payment of the fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties in connection with any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Tax Indemnification; Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(a) PKI shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, each Business Subsidiary and any Affiliate thereof, with respect to any and all of the following Taxes that may be imposed on Buyer, any Business Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof or in respect of the Business or the Acquired Assets (i) the amount of any Income Taxes with respect to any taxable period of the Business Subsidiaries or the Asset Sellers ending on or prior to the Closing Date or allocated to PKI pursuant to Section 8.2(b), (ii) the amount of any Non-Income Taxes with respect to any taxable period of the Business Subsidiaries or the Asset Sellers ending on or prior to the Closing Date or allocated to PKI pursuant to Section 8.2(b) where the amount of any such Taxes exceeds the amounts expressly set forth as a reserve or a liability on the Final Closing Working Capital Statement, (iii) the amount of any Taxes which are primarily the liability of PKI or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Business Subsidiaries) or imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable state, local or foreign Tax provisions, (iv) the amount of any Taxes which relate to, or arise as a result of, the transfer of the rights pursuant to the lease agreement for the site at 31 Saxon Way, Bar Hill, Cambridge, England (including any Taxes relating to, or arising from, the transactions contemplated by Section 4.14(a) herein) and (v) to the extent Buyer paid Purchase Price therefor pursuant to Section 1.4 and Buyer or its Affiliates lose the benefit thereof.

(b) PKI shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for Sellers for all periods (including the consolidated, unitary, and combined Tax Returns for Sellers which include the operations of the Business for any period ending on or before the Closing Date) and for all Tax Returns of the Business Subsidiaries for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date. Sellers shall make or cause to be made all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Sellers for the amount of any such Taxes paid by Sellers to the extent such Taxes are attributable (as determined under Section 8.2 hereof) to periods following the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all other Tax Returns for the Business. Buyer shall pay all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns and PKI shall promptly reimburse Buyer for the amount of any such Taxes paid by Buyer to the extent PKI is responsible for such Taxes pursuant to Section 8.1(a).

(d) Buyer shall prepare and file any Tax Return related to any taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date. Such returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return (unless otherwise required by Law). Buyer shall consult with PKI concerning each such Tax Return and deliver a draft of any such return within 20 days of its due date to Seller. PKI shall be entitled to comment on any item in such return to the extent it relates to a period with respect to which PKI could be

 

-65-


obligated to make a payment pursuant to Section 8.1(a) herein. Buyer shall accept any such comments by Seller; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to accept any comments if Buyer reasonably determines that (i) the position advocated by PKI will adversely impact any taxable period (or portion thereof) for which Buyer is not entitled to indemnification from PKI pursuant to Section 8.1(a) herein and (ii) either (A) the position advocated by PKI more likely than not is not correct or (B) the anticipated adverse impact for the taxable periods for which Buyer is not entitled to indemnification from PKI is materially greater than the anticipated adverse impact on PKI if its position is not accepted.

(e) Except for Taxes described in Section 8.1(a)(iv) above, Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative fees (including notary fees) arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such taxes, “Transfer Taxes”), including any goods and services tax (“GST’) payable pursuant to the Goods and Services Tax Act of Singapore (Chapter 117A of the Singapore Statutes) (the “GSTA”). For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Taxes shall not include withholding Taxes imposed on, or with respect to, gross proceeds or gains from the sale of any Acquired Asset or the stock of a Business Subsidiary. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the transfer of the Acquired Assets owned by PKI Singapore to Buyer as contemplated hereunder (the “Singapore Transfer”) is treated as a transfer of a business as a going concern for purposes of the GSTA so that no GST is payable in respect of the Singapore Transfer. If, in the opinion of the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (the “IRAS”), the Singapore Transfer does not constitute a transfer of a going concern and the IRAS assesses GST accordingly, Buyer shall pay to PKI Singapore such amount of GST together with all interest and surcharges due thereon.

(f) Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any and all Taxes not incurred in the ordinary course of business attributable to the acts or omissions of Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates occurring after the Closing on the Closing Date.

8.2 Allocation of Certain Taxes.

(a) Buyer and PKI agree that if any Seller or Business Subsidiary is permitted but not required under applicable foreign, state or local Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, Buyer and Sellers shall treat such day as the last day of a taxable period. For these purposes the Parties agree that they will procure that an accounting period of PKI Q-Arc ends upon the Closing Date.

(b) Any Taxes for a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date with respect to the Business shall be apportioned for purposes of Section 8.1 between PKI and Buyer based on the actual operations of the Business during the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of such period beginning on the day following the Closing Date, and for purposes of the provisions of Section 8.1 and 8.3, each portion of such period shall be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period).

 

-66-


(c) Immediately prior to the Closing, Buyer shall cause PKI Q-Arc to surrender any losses incurred on or before the Closing Date to a member or members of the UK group of which PKI Q-Arc is a member.

8.3 Refunds and Carrybacks.

(a) Sellers shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits of Taxes attributable to taxable periods ending (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.2(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer and/or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits of Taxes attributable to taxable periods beginning (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.2(b) to begin) after the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer shall forward to or reimburse PKI for any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits due Sellers after receipt thereof, and PKI shall promptly forward to Buyer or reimburse Buyer for any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits due to Buyer after receipt thereof.

(d) Buyer and PKI agree that, with respect to any Tax, none of the Business Subsidiaries shall carry back any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in any taxable period ending after the Closing Date to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date.

8.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Audits.

(a) Buyer and PKI and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods for which any such party could reasonably require the assistance of another such party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing prior years’ Tax Returns or return preparation packages to the extent related to the Business illustrating previous reporting practices or containing historical information relevant to the preparation of such Tax Returns, and furnishing such other information within such party’s possession requested by the party filing such Tax Returns as is relevant to their preparation. Such cooperation and information also shall include provision of powers of attorney for the purpose of signing Tax Returns and defending audits and promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any applicable governmental authority responsible for the imposition of Taxes (the “Taxing Authority”) which relate to the Business, and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns to the extent related to the Business, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Taxing Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which the requested party may possess. Buyer and PKI and their respective Affiliates shall make their respective employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to explain any documents or information provided hereunder.

(b) PKI shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any audit or examination by any Taxing Authority (“Tax Audit”), initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to any and all Taxes for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing

 

-67-


Date with respect to the Business; provided, however, if Buyer determines that such audit or examination could have an effect on Taxes for which Buyer is not indemnified hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to participate in such audit or examination, at its sole expense, and PKI shall not settle any such audit or examination without the consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that PKI shall have no right to initiate a claim for refund relating to a carryback of any losses arising in a taxable period that begins after the Closing Date or is deemed to begin after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.2(b). Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any other Tax Audit, initiate any other claim for refund, and contest, resolve and defend against any other assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to Taxes with respect to the Business; provided that, Buyer shall consult with PKI regarding resolution of any issue that could reasonably be expected to cause PKI or any Seller to pay additional Tax or to indemnify Buyer against any additional Tax hereunder, and not settle any such issue, or file any amended Tax Return relating to such issue, without the consent of PKI (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Where consent to a settlement is withheld by PKI pursuant to this Section, PKI may continue or initiate any further proceedings at its own expense, provided that any liability of Buyer, after giving effect to this Agreement, shall not exceed the liability that would have resulted had PKI not withheld its consent.

8.5 Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Business shall be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

ARTICLE IX

FURTHER AGREEMENTS

9.1 Access to Information; Record Retention; Cooperation.

(a) Access to Information. Subject to compliance with contractual obligations and applicable Laws, following the Closing, each Party shall afford to the other Party and to the other Party’s Affiliates, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access (including using commercially reasonable efforts to give access to third parties possessing information and providing reasonable access to its own employees who are in possession of relevant information) and duplicating rights during normal business hours in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business to all non-privileged records, books, contracts, instruments, documents, correspondence, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) within the possession or control of such Party or its Affiliates, relating to the Business prior to the Closing, insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party. Information may be requested under this Section 9.1(a) for, without limitation, financial reporting and accounting matters, preparing financial statements, preparing, reviewing and analyzing the Closing Working Capital Statement, resolving any differences between the Parties with respect to the Closing Working Capital Statement, preparing and filing of any Tax Returns, prosecuting any claims for refund, defending any Tax claims or assessment, preparing securities Law or exchange filings, prosecuting, defending or settling any litigation, Environmental Obligation or insurance claim, performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other proper business purposes.

 

-68-


(b) Access to Personnel. Following the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, such Party’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents to the extent that such persons may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved relating to the Business prior to the Closing or for any other matter referred to in Section 9.1(a).

(c) Government Consents. Following the Closing, PKI shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts, including the prompt making of any necessary filings and the giving of all necessary notices to Governmental Entities, to enable Buyer or its Designated Affiliates to obtain any permits, licenses, authorizations, novations, or approvals necessary for operation by Buyer or its Designated Affiliates of the Business as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date.

(d) Reimbursement. A Party providing Information, cooperation or personnel to another Party under Section 9.1(a), (b), (c) or (g) shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses, as may reasonably be incurred in providing such Information, cooperation or personnel; provided, however, that no such reimbursements shall be required for the salary or cost of fringe benefits or similar expenses pertaining to employees or directors of the providing Party or its Affiliates.

(e) Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by Law or agreed to in writing by the Parties, Buyer and Sellers shall each (and each shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve all Information in its possession pertaining to the Business prior to the Closing until December 31, 2015 (or up to the end of statutory retention of records periods, if longer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of retaining any specific Information, any Party may offer in writing to the other Party to deliver such Information to the other Party and, if such offer is not accepted within 90 days, the offered Information may be disposed of at any time. Notwithstanding the transfer to Buyer of the Acquired Assets owned by PKI Singapore, PKI Singapore shall, in accordance with the applicable tax laws of the Republic of Singapore, be entitled to maintain originals of all tax records dating back to seven (7) years prior to the Closing Date (or such longer period as is required by applicable Law) that relate to the business operated by PKI Singapore prior to the Closing.

(f) Preparation of PKI Financial Statements. Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Business to prepare and provide to PKI and its Subsidiaries all information relating to the Business reasonably required for PKI and its Subsidiaries to prepare the (i) Closing Working Capital Statement and (ii) financial statements of PKI and its Subsidiaries for all fiscal periods that precede or include the Closing Date. During the period of preparation of such (i) Closing Working Capital Statement and (ii) financial statements of PKI and its Subsidiaries, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that PKI and its Subsidiaries (and their auditors) will be provided with full access to the Business, its financial management, including the financial directors of the Business and any accountant’s work papers, and their books, accounts and records and will be able to review the work being carried out in accordance with this Section 9.1(f).

 

-69-


(g) Preparation of Audited Financial Statements of the Business. From and after the Closing and continuing for six (6) months following the Closing, PKI shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to Buyer all financial information (including corporate allocations) within PKI’s possession and reasonably required for Buyer to prepare audited financial statements of the Business in accordance with U.S. GAAP for 2008 and 2009. During such period of preparation of such financial statements of the Business, PKI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer and its representatives, including its auditors, will be provided with access to any books and records relating to the Business, its financial management, including any finance officers of the Business retained by PKI after the Closing and (subject to execution of customary release letters) any accountant’s work papers, and their books, accounts and records, in each case during normal business hours and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of PKI and its Subsidiaries. PKI agrees to execute any reasonably necessary management representation letters relating to intercompany balances and corporate allocations and other push-down accounting entries to permit Buyer’s or its Designated Affiliates’ independent accountants to issue unqualified reports with respect to the audited financial statements.

(h) Confidentiality. Each of Buyer and PKI (a “Receiving Party”) shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Information concerning the other Party furnished to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or the other Party’s Representatives at any time prior to Closing or pursuant to this Section 9.1 (except to the extent that such Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of the terms of this Section 9.1, (ii) was within the possession of the Receiving Party or its Representatives prior to it being furnished to the Receiving Party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party pursuant hereto, provided that the source of such information was not known by the Receiving Party at the time of receipt to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any other party with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives, provided that such source is not, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, at the time of receipt, bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any other party with respect to such information, or (iv) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives without utilizing any Information or violating any of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement), and the Receiving Party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors, unless compelled to disclose such Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or so as not to violate the rules of any stock exchange; provided, however, that in the case of disclosure compelled by judicial or administrative process, the Receiving Party shall (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) notify the Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.1(h). If, in the absence of a protective

 

-70-


order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose any Information by judicial or administration process, such Receiving Party may so disclose the Information; provided, however, that at the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense of the Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Information required to be disclosed. As used herein, the term “Representative” means, (A) as to PKI, its Subsidiaries (only while such entities are Subsidiaries of PKI) and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including financial advisors, counsel and accountants) and controlling persons, and (B) as to Buyer, its directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, agents, advisors (including financial advisors, counsel and accountants), and potential financial sources (including affiliated funds and the general and limited partners thereof).

Buyer shall not take or cause, or permit to be taken or caused by any person, any action to alter or impair any exculpatory or indemnification provisions, now existing in the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of any Business Subsidiary, for the benefit of any individual who served as a director or officer of any Business Subsidiary at any time prior to the Closing Date, except for any changes that may be required to conform with changes in applicable Law and any changes that do not affect the application of such provisions to acts or omissions of such individuals prior to the Closing Date.

9.3 Covenant Not to Compete. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Noncompetition Period”), PKI shall not (and shall cause each Noncompetition Party (as defined in this Section 9.3) not to) develop, manufacture or market Products, including for use in the defense industry, of the type developed, manufactured or marketed by the Business prior to the Closing Date (a “Competitive Business”); provided, however, that the foregoing covenants shall not prohibit, or be interpreted as prohibiting, any Noncompetition Party from:

(a) continuing anywhere in the world in any type of business conducted by any Noncompetition Party on the date hereof (including any extensions or additions to such business), which is not part of the Business;

(b) entering into any relationship with a person or entity not owned, managed, operated or controlled by any Noncompetition Party engaged in a Competitive Business for purposes primarily unrelated to a Competitive Business;

(c) making equity investments in publicly owned companies which conduct a Competitive Business, provided such investments do not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding common equity of such publicly owned companies; or

(d) acquiring any person or entity which conducts a Competitive Business if either:

(ii) the applicable Noncompetition Party promptly commences and thereafter pursues until the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Noncompetition Period and 18 months after such acquisition, the transfer of that portion of the business of such person or entity as constitutes a Competitive Business upon terms and conditions and at a price determined by the applicable Noncompetition Party in its sole discretion.

Without limiting the applicability of the foregoing, PKI agrees that for one (1) year after the Closing Date, neither PKI nor any other Noncompetition Party will solicit or induce any person who was an employee or independent contractor of any Business Subsidiary or, with respect to the Business, Asset Seller on the Closing Date to terminate his or her relationship with Buyer, its Designated Affiliates or the Business Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit PKI or any Noncompetition Party from (A) placing general

 

-72-


advertisements for employees not directed at the Business and hiring or engaging any person in response to any such general advertisement or (B) soliciting or hiring any such employee or independent contractor whose employment with Buyer, its Designated Affiliates or the Business Subsidiaries has been terminated for at least 90 days. Buyer agrees that for one (1) year after the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Designated Affiliates or other Subsidiaries will solicit or induce any person who was not an employee or independent contractor of any Business Subsidiary or, with respect to the Business, any Asset Seller on the Closing Date to terminate his or her relationship with PKI or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Buyer, its Designated Employees or its other Subsidiaries from (X) placing general advertisements for employees not directed at PKI and its Subsidiaries and hiring or engaging any person in response to any such general advertisement or (Y) soliciting or hiring any such employee or independent contractor whose employment with PKI or its Subsidiaries has been terminated for at least 90 days.

9.4 Disclosure Generally.

(a) The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in Article II. The disclosures in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections in Article II to the extent it is reasonably clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms (i) the terms “to Sellers’ knowledge,” “known by Sellers” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge of the persons listed on Schedule 9.4(a)(i) attached hereto, without any obligation of investigation, and shall not refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity and (ii) the terms “to Buyer’s knowledge,” “known by Buyer” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge of the persons listed on Schedule 9.4(a)(ii) attached hereto, without any obligation of investigation, and shall not refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity.

(b) PKI shall be entitled to submit to Buyer, from time to time between the date hereof and the Closing Date, written updates to the Disclosure Schedule disclosing any events or developments that occur between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. PKI’s representations and warranties contained in Article II shall be construed for all purposes of this Agreement in accordance with the Disclosure Schedule, as so updated; provided that Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such update to the Disclosure Schedule to the extent provided in Section 7.1(e). If any written update to the Disclosure Schedule is provided to Buyer less than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be deferred by five (5) Business Days to provide Buyer with sufficient time to evaluate such information.

9.5 Certain Employee Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Conduct; Other Liabilities. None of PKI, PKI Germany Opto, any Business Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of PKI shall be under any obligation to terminate the employment of any employee engaged primarily in the Business (any such employee employed either on the date of this Agreement or on the Closing Date, a “Business Employee”) prior to the Closing Date, other than (i) PKI Singapore (to which the provisions of Section 9.5(j) shall apply in lieu of Sections 9.5(a)-(f)) and (ii) PKI Indonesia, which shall agree to terminate the employment of any employees who elect to be terminated. Buyer shall assume all employment-related liabilities with respect to the employment or the termination of employment of any Business Employee, whether such liabilities or obligations arise prior to, on or following the Closing Date, including liabilities under all Business Benefit Plans, except for (A) liabilities under Business Benefits Plans sponsored or maintained by a Business Subsidiary (“Business Subsidiary Plans”) and (B) those liabilities expressly retained by PKI or any other Asset Seller pursuant to Schedule 9.5(a) or for those liabilities expressly retained by PKI or any other Asset Seller pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 9.5. All liabilities and obligations, whether such liabilities and obligations arise prior to, on, or following the Closing Date, under Business Subsidiary Plans shall be retained by the applicable Business Subsidiary; provided, that from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless PKI and its Subsidiaries with respect to any liabilities (including any fees, penalties and interest) that PKI or its Subsidiaries (other than a Business Subsidiary) may incur in connection with any Business Subsidiary Plan.

(b) Offer of Employment; Continuation of Employment. The Parties hereto intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect to all Business Employees employed on the Closing Date, including those on vacation, military leave, leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid), disability or layoff. Where the employment relationships of the Business Employees do not automatically transfer by operation of Law upon the Closing Date, Buyer or its Designated Affiliates shall offer (or cause its Designated Affiliates to offer) employment commencing on the Closing Date to all Business Employees (including all Business Employees of PKI Germany Opto) employed on the Closing Date, including those on vacation, military leave, leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid), disability or layoff, on the terms set forth in Section 9.5(d). A list of the Business Employees of PKI Germany Opto as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 9.5(b). The term “New Buyer Employees” shall mean the Business Employees who become employed by Buyer or its Designated Affiliates on the Closing Date or continue to work for a Business Subsidiary on the Closing Date. Buyer or its Designated Affiliates shall assume all Remaining Employee Expenses for all Business Employees employed on the Closing Date, including those on vacation, military leave, leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid), disability or layoff, who do not accept an offer of employment or who object (whether before or after accepting transfer to Buyer or its Designated Affiliate) to a transfer of their employment pursuant to local Laws (collectively, the “Remaining Seller Employees”); provided, however that in the case of Remaining Seller Employees of PKI Germany (the “German Remaining Employees”) (i) Buyer and PKI shall each bear one half ( 1/2) of the first $6,000,000 of Remaining Employee Expenses to such German Remaining Employees incurred during the period commencing on the date PKI Germany notifies the works council of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and ending on the date nine (9) months thereafter and (ii) Buyer shall have responsibility for all other Remaining Employee Expenses with respect

 

-74-


to such German Remaining Employees. “Remaining Employee Expenses” shall mean any amount payable to any Business Employee (A) arising out of any incomplete or factually or legally incorrect information provided by Buyer or any of its Designated Affiliates to any Business Employee or Remaining Seller Employees (including any such information provided in accordance with Section 4.10) and (B) for the ongoing employment of any Remaining Seller Employees (including if a termination by the employer is not permitted under applicable Law due to special protection or other reasons) and, in case of a termination of a Remaining Seller Employee by PKI or any of its Subsidiaries, for the costs of the termination. Costs for ongoing employment include salaries, variable compensation, benefits, pension accruals during the ongoing employment, social security contributions and remuneration in kind. Termination costs include severance (based on in court or out-of-court settlements), severance or similar benefits or compensation under a social plan or reconciliation of interests, reimbursement of loss of unemployment benefits (Sperrzeitausgleich) and legal fees incurred with regard to the attempted or achieved termination of any Remaining Seller Employee, including any attempted or achieved termination of any other employee of PKI Germany Opto who is terminated by PKI Germany Opto as a substitute for any of the PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees who objected to the transfer but enjoys priority protection against dismissal under German Law (Verdrängungswirkung im Rahmen der Sozialauswahl nach § 1 Abs. 3 KSchG).

(c) Defined Benefit Plan Transfer. Where funding vehicles (e.g. support funds (Unterstützungskassen), direct insurances (Direktversicherungen), etc.) exist in respect of Employee Benefit Plans relating to the PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees, PKI shall cause these funding vehicles to be transferred or continue to be available to the German Transferee insofar as they concern accumulated funds for those PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees whose employment transfers to the German Transferee. The funding vehicles will remain with PKI Germany Opto to the extent they concern accumulated funds for Remaining Seller Employees.

(d) Compensation; Employee Benefits; Severance Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.5, otherwise agreed to in the Transition Services Agreement, or as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Business Employees shall cease to participate in or accrue further benefits under the Business Benefit Plans sponsored by PKI or its Affiliates (other than Business Benefit Plans sponsored by the Business Subsidiaries or, to the extent required by Law, PKI Opto Germany) immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Remaining Seller Employees shall cease to participate in or accrue further benefits under the Business Benefit Plans after the Closing Date. Beginning on the Closing Date, Buyer shall, for the period ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Date or such later date as required by applicable Law, provide each New Buyer Employee with total cash compensation (including base salary and bonus opportunity), and employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements that are no less favorable in the aggregate than each New Buyer Employee’s total compensation (including the Business Benefit Plans) (other than equity-based compensation, retiree medical benefits and defined benefit pension benefits) in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Buyer Plans”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, beginning on the Closing Date, Buyer shall, for the period ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries to maintain) a severance pay plan, program or practice for the benefit of each New Buyer Employee that is no less favorable than the plan, program or practice in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date

 

-75-


with respect to each such New Buyer Employee, including those New Buyer Employees with individual severance arrangements. All Buyer Plans and Buyer severance pay plans, programs or practices shall recognize all credited service of New Buyer Employees with PKI and its Subsidiaries (or, to the extent previously recognized by PKI under its plans, programs or arrangements, any predecessor employer) for purposes of eligibility and vesting and level of benefits to the same extent such service was recognized under similar plans maintained by PKI or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date. With regard to PKI Germany Opto Acquired Employees the special regulations set forth in Section 9.5(k) shall apply

(e) Welfare Plans. With respect to any Buyer Plan that is a “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) or any plan directly or indirectly maintained or contributed to by Buyer providing similar benefits to a “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Buyer shall (i) cause to be waived any pre existing condition limitations or actively-at-work requirements to the extent permitted under such plan, and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out of pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, New Buyer Employees with respect to similar plans maintained PKI or its Subsidiaries for New Buyer Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date to the extent permitted under such plan. Buyer and PKI shall each use reasonably best efforts to make appropriate arrangements to allow the use by New Buyer Employees of any accrued benefits under any cafeteria plan (as defined in Section 125 of the Code) which was maintained by PKI or its Subsidiaries for such New Buyer Employees.

(f) Accrued Personal, Sick or Vacation Time. With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any New Buyer Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such New Buyer Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “PSV Policies”), Buyer shall assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such New Buyer Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time; provided, however, that if Buyer deems it necessary to disallow such New Buyer Employee from taking any portion of such accrued personal, sick or vacation time, Buyer shall be liable for and pay in cash to each such New Buyer Employee an amount equal to such personal, sick or vacation time as each New Business Employee has accrued and not used in accordance with the terms of the PSV Policies and applicable Law as of the Closing Date; and provided, further, that Buyer shall be liable for and pay in cash an amount equal to such accrued personal, sick or vacation time to any New Buyer Employee whose employment terminates for any reason subsequent to the Closing Date.

(g) Personnel Records. Subject to and only to the extent permitted by applicable local Law, following the Closing Date, PKI will transfer to Buyer the personnel files and other employment-related records of the New Buyer Employees who were employees of any Business Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) Buyer will allow PKI reasonable access to such personnel files and/or records as needed and (ii) PKI may retain copies of any information contained therein, at PKI’s expense. With respect to the Business Employees of the Asset Sellers, PKI will retain such employees’ personnel files and other employment-related records; provided, however, that consistent with and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to each such employee’s consent, if applicable (A) PKI will allow Buyer reasonable access to such personnel files and/or records upon a showing by Buyer of a business justification for such access, and (B) if Buyer is provided access to such files and/or records pursuant to clause (A), Buyer may retain copies of any information contained therein, at Buyer’s expense.

 

-76-


(h) U.S. WARN Act, Etc. Buyer agrees to provide any and all required notices under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and any other similar applicable Law and to otherwise comply with any such Law with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff’ (as defined in WARN) or similar termination of employment event under applicable Law affecting employees and occurring on or after the Closing Date. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless PKI and its Subsidiaries with respect to any liability (including any fees, penalties, and interest) under WARN or other similar applicable Law that any Business Subsidiary may incur or be assessed arising from the actions (or inactions) of Buyer or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date.

(i) U.S. COBRA. Sellers shall retain liability for providing any required notice and coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) with respect to any Business Employee who terminates employment on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall assume all liabilities for providing any required notice and coverage under COBRA or other similar applicable Law with respect to any New Business Employee or beneficiary who terminates employment or otherwise experiences a qualifying event after the Closing Date.

(j) Employees of PKI Singapore. Buyer agrees that the employment of the employees of PKI Singapore listed on Schedule 9.5(j) attached hereto (the “Singapore Employees”) shall be transferred to Buyer or one or more of its Designated Affiliates and shall not be terminated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer further agrees that all of PKI Singapore’s rights, duties, powers, liabilities and obligations under any employment contract in force between PKI Singapore and any of the Singapore Employees immediately prior to the Closing shall be assumed by Buyer or a Designated Affiliate upon the Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, PKI shall cause PKI Singapore to deliver to each Singapore Employee a letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit K giving notice of the Singapore Transfer and the transfer of such Singapore Employee’s employment to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates. Buyer shall render all assistance to PKI Singapore as is reasonably required to effect the transfer of the employment of the Singapore Employees from PKI Singapore to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates, and Buyer shall, or shall cause one or more of its Designated Affiliates to, offer to employ the Singapore Employees following the Closing on terms and conditions (including with respect to seniority and length of accrued service) no less favorable than those enjoyed by the Singapore Employees prior to the Closing. In the event that the employment of any of the Singapore Employees has not been transferred to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause one or more of its Designated Affiliates to, enter into an agreement with PKI Singapore under which PKI Singapore will supply the services of each such Singapore Employee to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates at cost from and after the Closing until such time as the transfer of such Singapore Employee’s employment to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates has been fully effected. Buyer hereby agrees and undertakes to indemnify PKI at all times from and against all actions, proceedings, costs, claims, damages, demands, expenses and liabilities that are in any way connected with or arising from the transfer of employment of the Singapore Employees from PKI Singapore to Buyer or its Designated Affiliates.

10.10 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties. No waiver by either Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

10.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the body making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
