C. Remmele owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of REI Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Medical” and, together with Remmele, the “Operating Companies” and each an “Operating Company”).

G. The Seller desires to sell to the Purchaser all of the Shares and the Purchaser desires to purchase all of the Shares from the Seller, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises and the respective mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 – PURCHASE PRICE; PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1 Aggregate Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Aggregate Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the sum of (a) $182,500,000, plus or minus, as applicable, (b) the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment, plus (c) the aggregate Cash balances of the Acquired Companies at the Calculation Time (the “Closing Cash”), minus (d) the amount of Funded Indebtedness at the Calculation Time (the “Closing Funded Indebtedness”), plus (e) the amount of the Medical Capital Expenditures, minus (f) the amount of all Company Transaction Expenses, minus (g) the Tail Coverage Cost, minus (h) amount of the Warrant Payments, minus (i) the amount of the Phantom Stock Payments, minus (j) the GE Indebtedness to the extent it is not Closing Funded Indebtedness, and minus (k) the Transfer Road Property Amount.

1.2 Purchase and Sale of Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing the Seller will sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, all of the Shares.

1.3 Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement. At least three business days before the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a written estimate (the “Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement”) setting forth (a) the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto, (ii) the Closing Cash, (iii) the Closing Funded Indebtedness, (iv) the amount of the Medical Capital Expenditures, (v) the Company Transaction Expenses, (vi) the amount of the Warrant Payments, (vii) the amount of the Phantom Stock Payments, (viii) the GE Indebtedness to the extent it is not Closing Funded Indebtedness and (ix) the Transfer Road Property Amount, and (b) the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price based thereon. Schedule 1.3 sets forth the format for the calculation of the amounts described in this Section 1.3 and the payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.3(b). In connection with the Purchaser’s review of the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, the Company shall provide such supporting documentation or data of the Company used to prepare such estimate as the Purchaser may reasonably request. If the Purchaser does not agree with the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, the Company and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to mutually agree on an acceptable Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, and the Company shall consider in good faith any proposed comments or changes that the Purchaser may suggest; provided, however, that if there is a good faith disagreement between the Seller and the Purchaser regarding the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, then the parties will proceed with the Closing based on the amounts in the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement that are not being disputed by the parties in good faith and the amounts that are being disputed in good faith will be resolved in accordance with the resolution process contemplated in Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to include in the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement any changes proposed by the Purchaser, the acceptance by the Purchaser of the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, any changes to the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement agreed to by the parties, or the consummation of the Closing, shall not (A) limit or otherwise affect the remedies of any party under this Agreement,

or (B) constitute an acknowledgment by the Purchaser, the Company or the Seller of the accuracy of the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, it being understood that the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement is only an estimate for purposes of the Closing.

ARTICLE 2 – CLOSING; POST-CLOSING PURCHASE PRICE TRUE-UP

2.1 Closing. Subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 7, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 9:00 a.m. (local time) on a date (the “Closing Date”) to be mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller, which date shall be no later than the third business day after all of the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their terms are intended to be satisfied at the Closing). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken, delivered and executed simultaneously, and no proceeding shall be deemed taken nor documents deemed executed or delivered until all have been taken, delivered and executed.

2.2 Payment of Closing Funded Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, Warrant Payments and Phantom Stock Payments. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall, out of the estimated amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price (as set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement):

(a) pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged) on behalf of the Acquired Companies, all Closing Funded Indebtedness, all Company Transaction Expenses and all Warrant Payments set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to written instructions delivered to the Purchaser by the Seller concurrently with the delivery of the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement. Not less than two business days before the Closing Date, the Company will provide the Purchaser with customary pay-off letters from all holders of such Closing Funded Indebtedness to be so paid (and will make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser for such holders to provide to the Purchaser recordable form lien releases simultaneously with or promptly following the Closing) and invoices from each Person to whom Company Transaction Expenses are to be paid, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser; and

(b) pay or cause to be paid to each Phantom Stock Holder the amount of the Phantom Stock Payments set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, subject to deduction and withholding pursuant to any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law as provided below, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to written instructions delivered to the Purchaser by the Seller concurrently with the delivery of the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement.

The parties acknowledge that the Phantom Stock Payments, Warrant Payments and the Company Transaction Expenses are obligations of the Company and/or the Operating Companies, as the

case may be, incurred on or before the Closing Date, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to make them obligations of the Purchaser. Payment of such Phantom Stock Payments, Warrant Payments and Company Transaction Expenses by the Purchaser on behalf of the Company and/or the Operating Companies on the Closing Date is being made for convenience only. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall calculate the Warrant Payments and Phantom Stock Payments, and Purchaser (and, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall have no liability to Seller, any Phantom Stock Holder or any Warrant Holder with respect to the accuracy of such calculations.

The parties will cooperate and will each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from GE Commercial Finance Business Property Corporation (“GE”) consent under the agreements between GE and Remmele set forth on Schedule 3.13(a) (collectively, the “GE Mortgage Agreements”), to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so that the Indebtedness payable to GE under the GE Mortgage Agreements and secured by mortgages encumbering each parcel of Owned Real Property (other than the Transfer Road Property) (the “GE Indebtedness”) and the terms and conditions of such agreements shall continue to be in effect for the Acquired Companies after the Closing; provided, however, that commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the Purchaser to agree to amend any term of any of the GE Mortgage Agreements in any adverse manner, pay any sums or provide any additional collateral to GE. If the parties are unable to obtain consent from GE, then the GE Indebtedness (including any pre-payment penalties) will be considered Closing Funded Indebtedness payable at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 and this Section 2.2.

2.3 Closing Transactions.

(a) Delivery of Assignment Document. At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an assignment separate from certificate providing for the assignment of all right, title and interest in the Shares to the Purchaser, together with the stock certificate evidencing the ownership of the Shares by the Seller.

(b) Aggregate Purchase Price Funds Flow. The Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) the estimated amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price, as set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, as follows:

(i) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price Escrow Amount and the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions delivered by the Escrow Agent at least two business days before the Closing Date.

(ii) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the estimated amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price as set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, minus the Purchase Price Escrow Amount and minus the Indemnification Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to written instructions delivered to the Purchaser by the Seller (as the same may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the “Wire Instructions”).

(c) Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Company and/or one or more of the Operating Companies shall deduct and withhold from the Phantom Stock Payments otherwise payable to the Phantom Stock Holders such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such Phantom Stock Payments pursuant to any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company or any of the Operating Companies, such withheld amounts shall (i) be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Phantom Stock Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company or such Operating Company and (ii) not be included in connection with the calculation of Closing Cash hereunder. The requirements of this Section 2.3(c) shall apply whether such Phantom Stock Payments payable to such Phantom Stock Holders are made on or after the Closing Date.

(d) Other Closing Deliveries.

(i) By the Company and/or the Seller. The Seller and the Company will deliver to the Purchaser the Transaction Documents to which each is a party as set forth in Section 7.1 (to the extent not previously executed and delivered).

(ii) By the Purchaser. The Purchaser will deliver to the Seller the Transaction Documents to which it is a party as set forth in Section 7.2 (to the extent not previously executed and delivered).

2.4 Post-Closing Purchase Price True-Up.

(a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare, at the Purchaser’s expense, and deliver to the Seller, a written statement (the “Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement”) setting forth the Purchaser’s calculations (the “Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations”) of (i) the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto, (ii) the Closing Cash, (iii) the Closing Funded Indebtedness, (iv) the amount of the Medical Capital Expenditures, (v) the Company Transaction Expenses, (vi) the amount of the Warrant Payments, and (vii) the amount of the Phantom Stock Payments, and (b) the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price based thereon. The Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement shall contain a recalculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price based on the foregoing amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment and the other items set forth in this Section 2.4(a).

(b) Within 45 days after its receipt of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of its agreement or disagreement with the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and the accuracy of any of the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations, together with the Seller’s proposed alternative calculations of the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto and all other items set forth in Section 2.4(a), together with a recalculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price set forth in reasonable detail (the “Seller’s Proposed Calculations”). During such 45-day period, the Purchaser shall grant the Seller and its accountants, at Seller’s expense, reasonable access to all books, records, facilities, work papers, schedules and calculations used in the Purchaser’s preparation of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement. If the Seller does not deliver the Seller’s Proposed Calculations to the Purchaser

within such 45-day period, then the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller and shall become the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement. If the Purchaser does not reject the Seller’s Proposed Calculations by written notice given to the Seller within 15 days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller’s Proposed Calculations, then the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations contained therein, as modified by the Seller’s Proposed Calculations, shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller. If the Purchaser rejects the Seller’s Proposed Calculations by written notice given to the Seller within 15 days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller’s Proposed Calculations, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve any such dispute within 15 days after the date that the Purchaser delivers its written notice of rejection to the Seller. If the Purchaser and the Seller do not resolve any such dispute within such 15-day period, then within 15 days following the end of the preceding 15-day period, the Purchaser and the Seller shall select a mutually acceptable and nationally recognized independent accounting firm that neither the Company nor the Purchaser are using for any other purpose (such firm, the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve the remaining disputed items (the “Remaining Disputed Items”) by conducting the Independent Accounting Firm’s own review and verification of the Remaining Disputed Items, and thereafter selecting either the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or the Seller’s Proposed Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or an amount in between the two. The Purchaser, the Company and the Seller shall be bound by the determination of the Remaining Disputed Items by the Independent Accounting Firm. The parties acknowledge that KPMG LLP is a mutually acceptable firm to be designated as the Independent Accounting Firm. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, an engagement letter containing reasonable and customary terms. The Seller and the Purchaser shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.4(b). The Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne one-half by the Seller, on the one hand, and one-half by the Purchaser, on the other hand. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based upon the provisions of this Section 2.4(b), only the Remaining Disputed Items and the determination of each amount of the Remaining Disputed Items shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(a) and this Section 2.4(b) and, in any event, shall be no less than the lesser of the amount claimed by either the Seller or the Purchaser (in the case of the Purchaser, as set forth in the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations first delivered to the Seller during the 90-day period set forth in Section 2.4(a) and in the case of the Seller, as set forth in the Seller’s Proposed Calculations first delivered to the Purchaser during the 45-day period described above), and shall be no greater than the greater of the amount claimed by either the Seller or the Purchaser (in the case of the Purchaser, as set forth in the Purchaser’s Proposed Calculations first delivered to the Seller during the 90-day period set forth in Section 2.4(a) and in the case of the Seller, as set forth in the Seller’s Proposed Calculations first delivered to the Purchaser during the 45-day period described above).

(c) Upon the determination, in accordance with Section 2.4(b), of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and the final calculations of the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto and all other items set forth in Section 2.4(a), the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be recalculated using such finally determined amounts in lieu of the estimates of such amounts used in the calculation of the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price payable at Closing.

(i) If the Aggregate Purchase Price as recalculated pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) is greater than the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price paid at Closing, then (A) the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the amount of any such excess by wire transfer pursuant to the Wire Instructions and (B) the Seller and the Purchaser shall also authorize a release of the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds to the Seller as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

(ii) If the Aggregate Purchase Price as recalculated pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) is equal to the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price paid at Closing, then (A) the Seller and the Purchaser shall authorize a release of the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds to the Seller as set forth in the Escrow Agreement and (B) no further payment shall be payable by the Purchaser or the Seller under this Section 2.4(c).

(iii) If the Aggregate Purchase Price as recalculated pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) is less than the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price paid at Closing (the amount of such difference being the “Purchase Price Decrease”), then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of any such deficiency out of the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, and if the Purchase Price Decrease exceeds the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds, then the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser by wire transfer an amount equal to the Purchase Price Decrease minus the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds. If the Purchase Price Decrease is less than the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall also authorize a release of funds to the Seller of an amount equal to the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds minus the Purchase Price Decrease, as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

(iv) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than three business days after the final determination referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.4(c) and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. Any authorization of a release from the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds contemplated by this Section 2.4(c) shall be made by the Seller and the Purchaser executing and delivering a Direction Letter (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) to the Escrow Agent within three business days after the final determination referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.4(c).

The parties acknowledge that additional releases from the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds may occur as described in the Escrow Agreement and that such additional releases (if any) will supplement the releases described above.

Each of the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all lawful and reasonable actions within such party’s control and to do, or cause to be done, all lawful and reasonable things within such party’s control necessary to fulfill the conditions precedent to the obligations of the other party(ies) hereunder and to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing.

Justice under the HSR Act and file each, if any, pre-acquisition notification or report form pursuant to each applicable Non-US Competition Law, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and obtain approval under each applicable Non-US Competition Law and will make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable in connection therewith. In no event shall commercially reasonable efforts for purposes of this Section 6.3 be deemed to require the payment of any cash or other consideration by the Purchaser, the Seller or the Company other than for any filing fees under the HSR Act and each applicable Non-US Competition Law. Each of the Purchaser and the Seller agree that one-half of the filing fees under the HSR Act will be paid contemporaneously with such filing by each of the Purchaser and the Company.

6.4 Exclusive Dealing. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (a) the Closing Date, or (b) the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Company and the Seller will not, and will cause their respective managers, investment bankers and attorneys and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective officers and directors not to, take any action to solicit the making of any Acquisition Proposal, engage in substantive discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect thereto or assist with or facilitate the making of an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any written offer, proposal or contract from a third party for any acquisition or purchase of any of the Shares, or any acquisition, purchase or license of all or any material part of the assets or properties of any of the Acquired Companies (other than the sale or other disposition of such assets or properties in the Ordinary Course of Business) or the sale or issuance of any capital stock or other equity securities of any Acquired Company, or any merger or consolidation of any Acquired Company. Each of the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Acquired Companies to, immediately cease, and cause to be terminated, any and all contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding any of the foregoing.

6.5 Notice of Developments; Supplementation and Amendment of Schedules. From time to time before the Closing, the Company and the Seller shall notify the Purchaser if it becomes aware prior to the Closing of any fact or condition that could be reasonably expected to constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller or the Company or could be reasonably expected to constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller or the Company if such representation or warranty were made on the date of the occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition or on the Closing Date and shall supplement or amend the Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered after the delivery of the Schedules pursuant to this Agreement that, if existing or known at, or occurring before, the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedules. No such supplement or amendment shall have any effect on the satisfaction of the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.1(a); or upon any right or claim of the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, including for indemnification pursuant to Article 9, with respect to any and all matters disclosed pursuant to any such supplement or amendment at or before the Closing.

6.6 Confidentiality. Until the Closing, the Purchaser will, and will ensure that its Representatives and other agents will, hold in strict

confidence and not use in any way except in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, all confidential information obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby from any Acquired Company, the Seller or any of their respective Representatives, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The covenants contained in this Section 6.6 are independent covenants and shall be enforceable by each disclosing party regardless of any claims which any non-disclosing party shall have against the disclosing party or any of such disclosing party’s Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

The Purchaser and the Seller agree to cooperate in issuing any press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall prevent (a) any party from at any time furnishing any information to any Authority or from making any disclosures required under applicable Law, including the Securities Exchange Act, or under the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which such party’s shares of capital stock are listed, (b) any party from placing (or permitting such party’s Representatives to place) a “tombstone” advertisement in any publication or in any marketing or promotional materials with the advance written approval of the Purchaser and the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (c) any party from furnishing any information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to such party’s shareholders, members, Affiliates, investors in their Affiliates, or other Representatives.

8.3 Business Records. The Purchaser acknowledges that the business records of the Acquired Companies relating to their operations before Closing will be acquired by the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the Seller may from time to time require access to or copies of such records after the Closing. The Purchaser agrees that upon reasonable prior notice from the Seller, it will, during normal business hours, provide or cause to be provided to the Seller reasonable access to or copies of such records, provided that, the Purchaser may condition such access and copying rights upon execution by the Seller of a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees that it will not (and will cause each of its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, not to), within six years after the Closing Date, destroy any material business records of the Acquired Companies prepared before the Closing and, in any event, will not destroy any material business records without first providing reasonable written notice to the Seller prior to such destruction.

8.4 Investigation; No Reliance by the Purchaser; Knowledge of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents, warrants and acknowledges that (i) it and its Representatives have undertaken an independent investigation, examination, analysis and verification of the Acquired Companies and the Business and the assets, liabilities, operations and financial results of the Acquired Companies, (ii) it has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and has received sufficient answers from, the Acquired Companies, the Seller and their respective Representatives, with respect to the Business and the assets, liabilities, operations and financial results of the Acquired Companies, (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller contained in this Agreement, all materials and information requested by the Purchaser have been provided to the Purchaser to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, and (iv) it has undertaken such due diligence (including a review of the assets, liabilities, books, records and contracts of the Acquired Companies) as the Purchaser deems adequate. The Purchaser has not relied upon, and the Purchaser expressly waives and releases the Seller from any liability for any claims (including claims based upon fraudulent inducement) relating to or arising from, any representation, warranty, statement, advice, document, projection, or other information of any type provided by the Seller, the Acquired Companies, or their Affiliates or any of their Representatives, except for those representations and warranties expressly set forth in Articles 3 and 4. In connection with such investigation, the Purchaser and its Representatives have received from or on behalf of the Seller and/or the

Acquired Companies certain estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans and financial projections (“Forward-Looking Statements”), and the Purchaser acknowledges that (x) there are uncertainties inherent in making Forward-Looking Statements, (y) it is familiar with such uncertainties and it is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all Forward-Looking Statements, and (z) none of the Seller, the Acquired Companies, or any other Person is making any representation or warranty with respect to, or will have or be subject to any liability to the Purchaser, or any other Person resulting from, the distribution to the Purchaser, or its use of, Forward-Looking Statements. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any documents that are or were present in the virtual data room operated by Merrill Corporation on behalf of the Seller and the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated herein as of the date of this Agreement for Purchaser’s review in connection with its due diligence investigation shall be deemed to have been provided, delivered and disclosed to, and received by, the Purchaser for all purposes.

8.5 Exculpation and Indemnification of Directors and Officers. For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not permit any Acquired Company to amend, repeal or modify any provision in its Organizational Documents relating to exculpation or indemnification of former officers or directors holding office before the Closing Date (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of the Acquired Companies before the Closing shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the greatest extent permitted under the Laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such respective Acquired Company. Prior to the Closing, Remmele shall acquire, and after the Closing, shall maintain for a period of six years after the Closing Date, full coverage under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies currently maintained by Remmele (provided that Purchaser or Remmele may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions which, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those of the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Remmele) with respect to claims arising out of facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Closing, and the aggregate cost of such tail coverage shall constitute the “Tail Coverage Cost.”

8.6 Employee Benefit Matters. Following the Closing Date, with respect to each employee benefit plan in which any employee of any Acquired Company at the time of the Closing participates (each, an “Affected Employee”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and rate of accruing benefits, including severance benefits, vacation entitlement, and retirement benefits, service of any Affected Employee with any Acquired Company shall be treated as service with Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate of Purchaser; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Such service shall also apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations. Each such plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the corresponding Benefit Plan.

8.7 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any notice or amounts required by Law relating to employment terminations or

layoffs of employees of any Acquired Company that occur upon the Closing at the Purchaser’s request in connection therewith, or after the Closing, including notice or amounts under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and any similar state and local Laws that are applicable to Seller or any Acquired Company.

Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 3, the Company is not making and shall not be deemed to have made, and except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 4, the Seller is not making and shall not be deemed to have made, any other representations or warranties, written or oral, statutory, express or implied, concerning the Shares, the Acquired Companies, the Seller or the business, assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies. THE PURCHASER REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 3 OR 4, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE SELLER HAS MADE, AND THE COMPANY AND THE SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND NEGATE, AND THE PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO, AND PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY, EACH OPERATING COMPANY, THE SELLER AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH, THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) OR DOCUMENTS HERETOFORE FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PURCHASER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY OR THE SELLER THAT ARE NOT SET FORTH OR OTHERWISE INCORPORATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE SELLER IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO THE PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS OR THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN ANY SUMMARY, TEASER, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION MEMORANDUM OR MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION DELIVERED TO THE PURCHASER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES.

8.9 Tax Cooperation; Audits; Apportionment; Tax Returns.

(a) Except to the extent such Taxes are accounted for in determining Closing Net Working Capital, the Seller shall be solely liable for and shall pay any and all Taxes with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies for all Tax Periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”), including any such Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies that is attributable to any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the portion of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period in accordance with this Section 8.9. The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes, value-

added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date.

(b) In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to), on the one hand, and the Seller shall, on the other hand, cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Tax Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax Matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any Taxable Period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Seller, any extension thereof) for the respective Taxable Periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and (ii) give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records.

(c) The Purchaser shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to) and the Seller shall, upon the other’s request, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(d) The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, on a basis consistent with the manner in which such Tax Returns had historically been prepared. The Seller shall provide such Tax Returns to the Purchaser for review and comment at least thirty (30) days before the due date for such Tax Returns, including any applicable extensions. The Purchaser shall provide any comments to such Tax Returns to the Seller in writing within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of such Tax Returns. If the Purchaser determines in its reasonable judgment that such Tax Returns have not been prepared in accordance with applicable Law, then Seller shall accept any revisions relating to such matters reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are in compliance with applicable Law. If the Purchaser determines in its reasonable judgment that any position taken by the Seller in any such Tax Returns will materially and adversely affect the Purchaser with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies for any Tax Period ending after the Closing Date, then the Seller shall accept any revisions relating to such positions as reasonably requested by the Purchaser. The parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputes with respect to such comments. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all such Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared allocating all items accruing on the Closing Date to the Acquired Company’s taxable period ending on the Closing

Date pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or pursuant to the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii)); (ii) none of the Acquired Companies will elect to waive any carryback of net operating losses under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code on any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period; and (iii) as part of the Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Seller may prepare or cause to be prepared IRS Form 4466 (Corporation Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of Estimated Tax) in respect of any taxable year ending on the Closing Date, if applicable, IRS Form 8302 (Electronic Deposit of Tax Refund of $1 Million or More) and IRS Form 1139 for any eligible carryback periods.

(e) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Straddle Period. The Purchaser shall provide such Tax Returns to the Seller for review and comment at least thirty (30) days before the due date for such Tax Returns including any applicable extensions. The Seller shall provide any comments to such Tax Returns to the Purchaser in writing within fifteen (15) days of the Seller’s receipt of such Tax Returns. If the Seller determines in its reasonable judgment that such Tax Returns have not been prepared in accordance with applicable Law, then Purchaser shall accept any revisions relating to such matters reasonably requested by the Seller that are in compliance with applicable Law. The parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputes with respect to such comments.

8.10 Tax Controversies. Notwithstanding Section 9.3, this Section 8.10 shall control any inquiries, assessments, proceedings or similar events with respect to Tax Matters. With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller (a) upon receipt by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser (including any Acquired Company) of any notice of any Tax Matter from any Tax Authority or (b) prior to the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies initiating any Tax Matter with any Tax Authority. The Seller may, at the Seller’s expense, control the defense and settlement of any such Tax Matter. If the Seller assumes such defense, the Seller shall have the authority, with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Acquired Companies before the relevant Tax Authority and the Seller shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. The Purchaser shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, solely at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Seller. The Seller shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate of the foregoing for a post-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each Acquired Company not to, enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller for a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Seller shall keep the Purchaser informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter, and will,

in good faith, allow the Purchaser to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

8.11 Amendment of Tax Returns. The Purchaser shall not, and the Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) not to, amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of any of the Acquired Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Seller.

8.12 Tax Refunds. The Seller will be entitled to any Tax refunds or Tax credits (or reductions in Tax liability), including any interest paid therewith, in respect of Taxes paid by the Acquired Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than any Tax refund or Tax credit (or reduction in Tax liability) resulting from the carryback of any Tax attribute generated after the Closing Date. The Purchaser agrees to cooperate, and to cause the Acquired Companies to cooperate, with the Seller in obtaining all Tax refunds with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and to promptly pay or cause the applicable Acquired Company to pay such amounts to Seller after receipt of such amounts. The Purchaser acknowledges that as permitted by Section 8.9(d)(iii), the Seller intends to prepare net operating loss carryback claims relating to the net operating loss that is anticipated to be generated for the short Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the Closing Date and that any Tax refunds received by the Acquired Companies as a result of filing such claims shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to this Section 8.12. The Purchaser shall not take any actions on the Closing Date that would increase the Company’s Tax liability for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

8.13 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) will be paid one-half by the Seller and one-half by the Purchaser, in each case when due, and all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes will be prepared and filed by the party required to file such Tax Returns under applicable Law.

8.14 Consolidated Income Tax Return. The Purchaser shall elect to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the Acquired Companies for the taxable year of the Purchaser that includes the day after the Closing Date. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) the taxable year of the Acquired Companies shall close for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date, (b) to the extent applicable Law in other taxing jurisdictions so permits, the taxable year of the Acquired Companies shall close at the end of the day on the Closing Date, and (c) all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns shall be filed consistently on the foregoing basis.

8.15 Nonsolicitation. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its post-Closing Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit any Person who is a customer of any Acquired Company for any business that is similar to the business of any Acquired Company; (b) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Seller or any

Acquired Company on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with, to deal with any competitor of or in any way interfere with its relationship with Purchaser or any Acquired Company; or (c) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of any Acquired Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between Purchaser or an Acquired Company and any of its employees or independent contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing will not be deemed to prohibit (a) general solicitations for employment in newspapers or magazines, over the internet or by headhunters or employment agencies, in each case if not specifically directed towards employees of the Acquired Companies or (b) the solicitation or hiring of any employee or independent contractor of any Acquired Company who is terminated by the Purchaser or an Acquired Company after the Closing.

(a) By the Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Damages which any such Purchaser Indemnitee shall suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of:

(b) By the Purchaser and the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser and, after the Closing, the Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Damages which any such Seller Indemnitee shall suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Article 5 or any breach of the Purchaser’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(ii) any breach of any of the Company’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which are to be performed after the Closing.

9.3 Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnitee desires to make a claim against the Seller, or any Seller Indemnitee desires to make a claim against the Purchaser or the Company (such Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, an “Indemnified Party”) under Section 9.2 in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, investigation, audit or demand at any time instituted against or made upon the Indemnified Party by any third party for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing (i) in the case of a claim under Section 9.2(a), the Seller, or (ii) in the case of a claim under Section 9.2(b), the Purchaser (in each case, an “Indemnifying Party”) of such Third Party Claim and of the Indemnified Party’s claim of indemnification with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations

hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to notify such Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to conduct and control the defense and, subject to Section 9.3(b), the settlement of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party. Until such time as the Indemnifying Party notifies or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party(ies) of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party has elected to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not compromise, consent to entry of judgment or settle any Third Party Claim except as provided in Section 9.3(b).

(b) Any compromise, consent to entry of judgment, settlement or offer of settlement of any Third Party Claim of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that, any determination of the reasonableness of withholding, conditioning or delaying such consent by an Indemnified Party shall include, without limitation, an evaluation of whether the reasonably anticipated Damages of the Indemnified Party related to such claim may exceed the Indemnification Escrowed Funds, if applicable, and/or whether there is a reasonable probability that such compromise, consent to judgment, settlement or offer of settlement may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of the payment of money Damages). Unless such consent is obtained, the Indemnifying Party shall continue the defense of such claim; provided, however, that if any Indemnified Party refuses its consent to a bona fide offer of settlement that the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept and that involves no payment of money by such Indemnified Party, and further involves no material limitation on the future operation of the Business by the Company, and that fully and completely releases all Indemnified Parties from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may reassign the defense of such claim to such Indemnified Party, who may then continue to pursue the defense of such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole cost and expense of such Indemnified Party. In such event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the offer of settlement that such Indemnified Party refused to accept or (ii) the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Party(ies) with respect to such claim. Any compromise, consent to entry of judgment, settlement or offer of settlement of any Third Party Claim of which the Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume the defense shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party agrees that the Indemnifying Party shall have full and complete control over the conduct of such proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall not compromise, consent to entry of judgment, settle or offer to settle such Third Party Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim, including the Indemnified Party(ies) providing the Indemnifying Party with access to the Indemnified Party’s(ies’) records and personnel relating to any Third Party Claim during reasonable hours under the circumstances.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

9.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Deductible. Subject to Sections 9.4(b)-(i), no claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) shall be made by any Purchaser Indemnitee unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages for which Purchaser Indemnitees are otherwise entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 exceeds $720,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds the Deductible; provided, however, that claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company set forth in Sections 3.4 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), 3.7 (Brokers), 3.8 (Capitalization of the Acquired Companies) and 3.9 (Rights; Warrants or Options), and claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(v) and 9.2(a)(vi) shall not be subject to the Deductible.

(b) Cap. The aggregate amount of all Damages payable by the Seller with respect to all claims for indemnification hereunder shall not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount, except for claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company set forth in Sections 3.4 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), 3.7 (Brokers), 3.8 (Capitalization of the Acquired Companies) and 3.9 (Rights; Warrants or Options), claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(v) and 9.2(a)(vi) and any claims for intentional fraud.

(c) Time Limit. No Person shall be liable for any claim for indemnification hereunder, whether or not as a result of a Third Party Claim, unless written notice of a claim for indemnification is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought in compliance with the terms of this Agreement before the applicable Survival Date. All notices given pursuant hereto shall set forth with reasonable specificity the basis for and amount (to the extent calculable at the time of such notice) of such claim for indemnification. Nothing in this Section 9.4(c) or in Section 9.1 waives any applicable statute of limitations with respect to the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or any claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) Closing Net Working Capital; Reserves. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Damages as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under Article 3, and the amount of any Damages incurred in respect of any such breach shall not be included in the calculation of aggregate Damages subject to the Deductible, to the extent that the amount of any Damages as a result of such breach is taken into account as the reduction of any current asset, or as a current liability, reserved or accrued, or otherwise accounted for, in determining the Closing Net Working Capital or on the Most Recent

Balance Sheet, or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4).

(e) Insurance and Tax Benefits; Other Indemnification. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is sought by the Purchaser, the Company or any of the Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, including the Operating Companies (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”) from the Seller hereunder shall be subject to reduction by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Group for such Damages (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining, or as a result of, such recovery, including any prospective or retroactive premium adjustments reasonably anticipated to result from any insurance recovery). Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect the Seller’s ability to assert reasonably ascertainable Tax benefits in compliance with applicable Law in calculating Damages hereunder. In no event will any Purchaser Indemnitee be entitled to indemnification for the same Damages from more than one source.

(f) Mitigation. The Purchaser shall take and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other Purchaser Indemnitees, to take such steps to mitigate any Damages as are required under applicable contract Law in respect of claims for indemnification thereby under this Article 9.

(g) No Special Damages. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall be liable to any other Person for exemplary or punitive Damages or Damages determined as a multiple of income, revenue or the like (unless such Damages are awarded against an Indemnified Party in a claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(h) Overall Aggregate Purchase Price Cap. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of all Damages payable by the Seller with respect to all claims for indemnification hereunder, including for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 3.4 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), 3.7 (Brokers), 3.8 (Capitalization of the Acquired Companies) and 3.9 (Rights; Warrants or Options), shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(i) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments made by the Purchaser, the Company, or the Seller pursuant to this Article 9 shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder.

9.5 Escrow. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (a) except as set forth in Section 9.5(b), the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have recourse only against the undisbursed Indemnification Escrow Amount and the income, interest, increments and gains earned on the Indemnification Escrow Amount (the “Indemnification Escrowed Funds”) with respect to any Damages, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (b) in no event will Seller be liable for Damages or otherwise for any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than out of the undisbursed Indemnification Escrowed Funds, except (i) for claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches or inaccuracies of the

representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company set forth in Sections 3.4 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), 3.7 (Brokers), 3.8 (Capitalization of the Acquired Companies) and 3.9 (Rights; Warrants or Options) and any claims for intentional fraud, or (ii) payment of any Purchase Price Decrease (if any) out of the Purchase Price Escrowed Funds pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii). To the extent that any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification from the Seller pursuant to this Article 9, including out of the Indemnification Escrowed Funds under this Section 9.5, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall first recover any Damages from the undisbursed Indemnification Escrowed Funds prior to pursuing recovery directly from the Seller, except (i) for claims for indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of the Seller and the Company set forth in Sections 3.4 (Authority; Authorization; Enforceability), 3.7 (Brokers), 3.8 (Capitalization of the Acquired Companies) and 3.9 (Rights; Warrants or Options) and any claims for intentional fraud, or (ii) for payment of any Purchase Price Decrease (if any) pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii).

9.6 Limitation of Remedies. The rights of the parties for indemnification under this Agreement shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article 9 and, except in the case of intentional fraud, such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties after the Closing Date with respect to any matter in any way under or relating to this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Seller, the Purchaser and the Company hereby waive and shall cause their respective Affiliates to waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any such matter, whether under any Laws, at common law or otherwise, including for rescission. Except as set forth in this Article 9, no action, suit, claim, proceeding or remedy shall be brought or maintained after the Closing Date (other than actions, suits, claims or proceedings to enforce any rights provided under this Article 9) by the Purchaser or the Company or their respective Affiliates, including any other Purchaser Indemnitees, successors or permitted assigns against the Seller, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against the Seller, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misstatement or omission or relating to an inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or the Seller set forth or contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any claim to the extent that it shall have been the result of intentional fraud by any such Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions in this Agreement that limit any claims or remedies of the Purchaser Indemnitees, including under this Article 9, have been bargained for and are reflected in the purchase price for the Shares negotiated in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any claims for specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief or other equitable remedies.

11.6 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.7 Expenses.

11.10 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA TO BE APPLIED. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH PARTY MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER.

11.11 Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT SITTING IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA (IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION EXISTS), AND ANY APPLICABLE APPELLATE COURTS, WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WAIVES ALL OBJECTIONS BASED ON LACK OF VENUE AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ALL SUCH COURTS.
