5

 
 
1.5           Adjustments to Purchase Price; Closing Date Statement
 
(a)
No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer an estimated statement, prepared in good faith (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth its good faith estimate as of the Closing Date of: (i) the Closing Date Net Assets (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Assets”), (ii) the estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount (the “Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount”), and (iii) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount”). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the Agreed Accounting Principles.  The Seller shall consider in good faith any comments of the Buyer thereon but, absent manifest error, the Seller shall not be required to adjust its estimates in response to the Buyer’s comments.  The Buyer and its representatives shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, personnel and advisors of the Seller and the Companies to the extent required in connection with such review, including the Seller’s work papers underlying or utilized in preparing such estimates and the calculations contained therein.  The amount, if any, by which the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount is less than the aggregate amount of capital expenditures that are contemplated by the CapEx Budget to have been spent in accordance with the CapEx Budget up to (but not including) the Closing Date, with the amount contemplated by the CapEx Budget for any partial quarterly pre-Closing period being determined by pro rating such amount to reflect the number of days in such partial quarterly period, is referred to herein as the “Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount Deficiency.”  The amount, if any, by which the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of capital expenditures that are contemplated by the CapEx Budget to have been spent in accordance with the CapEx Budget up to (but not including) the Closing Date, with any partial quarterly pre-Closing periods determined on a pro rata basis as set forth above, is referred to herein as the “Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount Excess.”
 
(b)
As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an unaudited statement of (i) the Closing Date Net Assets, (ii) the Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, and (iii) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount (the “Initial Closing Date Statement”).  The Initial Closing Date Statement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles, adjusted for the Business as purchased and this Agreement.  For illustrative purposes only, an example demonstrating the calculation of Closing Date Net Assets, Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, and Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount and a sample Initial Closing Date Statement are set forth on Schedule 1.5.
 
(c)
If the Buyer notifies the Seller within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Initial Closing Date Statement of an objection to any item on the Initial Closing Date Statement, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within sixty (60) days following such notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Seller shall provide the Buyer with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and personnel of the Seller to the extent necessary to enable the Buyer to evaluate the Initial Closing Statement.  After the end of the first ninety (90)-day period referred to above, neither Party may introduce additional objections with respect to any item in the Initial Closing Date Statement or increase the amount of any objection, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller and shall be final and binding upon the Parties.  The Buyer agrees that any failure by it to notify the Seller of any such objection prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day period immediately following the delivery of the Initial Closing Date Statement by the Seller shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the Buyer of the Initial Closing Date Statement and shall constitute a waiver of any right by the Buyer to dispute such Initial Closing Date Statement for all purposes.
 
 
6

 
 
(d)
If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period there remains any dispute regarding any item on the Initial Closing Date Statement, then such dispute shall be submitted to an impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm selected by the Seller and the Buyer within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period (the “Neutral Auditors”).  If the Seller and the Buyer are unable to agree on the Neutral Auditors, then each of the Seller and the Buyer shall select an impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Neutral Auditors.  For purposes of this Section 1.5(d), an auditor is “impartial” if it has not conducted auditing work for either Party within the past two (2) years.  One-half of all fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditors shall be borne by the Buyer, and one-half shall be borne by the Seller.  The Neutral Auditor shall select as a resolution the position of either the Buyer or the Seller for each item in dispute and may not impose an alternative resolution.  The Neutral Auditors shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by the Seller and the Buyer and their respective advisors, only those issues still in dispute.  The Neutral Auditors’ determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of the presentations by the Seller and the Buyer and their respective advisors, shall be consistent with the manner and standards described in this Section 1.5(d) and the Agreed Accounting Principles, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Seller and the Buyer, and shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Initial Closing Date Statement as accepted by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.5(c) and/or adjusted by agreement of the Parties or to reflect the determinations of the Neutral Auditors pursuant to this Section 1.5(d) shall constitute the “Final Closing Date Statement,” the amount of the Closing Date Net Assets as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “Final Closing Date Net Assets”, the Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount,” and the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount.”
 
(e)
Intentionally Omitted.
 
(f)
The difference between the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount and the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount shall be referred to herein as the “Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment.”  If the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount is greater than the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, then the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment shall be a positive number.  If the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount is less than the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, then the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment shall be a negative number.

The difference between the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount and the Estimated Closing Date Customer Funded Indebtedness shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment.”  If the amount of the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount is greater than the amount of the Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount, then the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment shall be a negative number.  If the amount of the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount is less than the amount of the Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount, then the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment shall be a positive number.  The sum of the Final Closing Date Net Assets Adjustment, the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment and the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price Adjustment.”
 
(h)
If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then the amount of the Purchase Price minus the absolute value of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be the “Final Purchase Price,” and if the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then the amount of the Purchase Price plus the Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be the “Final Purchase Price.”  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the absolute value of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment (less any applicable withholding Taxes), along with interest accrued thereon.  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Final Purchase Price Adjustment (less any applicable withholding Taxes), along with interest accrued thereon.  Interest on the amount of such difference shall accrue, commencing on the Closing Date until date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in TheWall Street Journal and in effect on the Closing Date.
 
(i)
Payment of any amounts due the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the ninetieth (90th) day of receipt of the Final Closing Date Statement if not objected to by the Buyer or five (5) Business Days after any agreement by the Seller and the Buyer or the decision of the Neutral Auditors, as the case may be.
 
1.6           Allocation of Purchase Price
 
The Buyer and the Seller shall determine and prepare separate allocations of the Final Purchase Price among the assets sold to the Buyer for Tax purposes in their sole discretion (the “Purchase Price Allocations”), and there shall be no requirement that the Purchase Price Allocations be consistent with each other.  To the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, the Buyer and the Seller (as the case may be) shall cooperate with the requesting Party in providing documents and information necessary to enable the requesting Party to prepare its separate Purchase Price Allocation.

1.7           Certain Consents
 
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of the Assigned Contracts, or any of the rights or claims described in Section 1.1(a)(x) or Liabilities of the Seller described in Section 1.2(a)(i) are not assignable without the consent, waiver or approval of another party, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment or assumption or attempted assumption thereof if such assignment, attempted assignment, assumption or attempted assumption would constitute a violation of a Requirement of Law or a breach or default under such Assigned Contract or otherwise trigger any termination or renegotiation right of such other party to the Assigned Contract.
 
(b)
Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and novations in accordance with Section 5.2.  If any such consent or novation shall not be obtained prior to the Closing Date, except with respect to Government Contracts that are addressed in Section 6.4, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree upon a reasonable arrangement (including entering into agreements between the Parties) designed to provide or transfer to the Buyer the benefits intended to be assigned to, and the burdens and Liabilities intended to be assumed by, the Buyer, including, with respect to any Assigned Contract, at the Buyer’s request, enforcement at the cost and for the account of the Buyer of any and all rights of the Seller against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise; provided, that the Buyer shall (i) pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent that the Buyer or the Companies would have been responsible therefor if such consent or novation had been obtained; (ii) enter into a written Contract with the Seller to act as a subcontractor of the Seller to perform any and all obligations of the Seller under each aforementioned Assigned Contract for the duration of such Assigned Contract (including any automatic extensions or renewals) and only for the exact amounts payable to the Seller under such Assigned Contract for the performance of such obligations; (iii) be responsible for all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in performing its obligations under such Assigned Contract as a subcontractor of the Seller under subparagraph (ii) above; (iv) indemnify the Seller in full for any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller to the extent arising out of or relating to the Buyer’s performance as a subcontractor of the Seller under subparagraph (ii) above; and (v) procure that the Companies shall refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any such consents and novations.
 
1.8           Further Assurances
 
(a)
At and after the Closing, and without further consideration therefor, (a) the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Buyer such further instruments and certificates of conveyance and transfer as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to more effectively convey and transfer the Assets and the Shares from the Seller to the Buyer and to put the Buyer in control of the Business; (b) the Buyer shall execute, or shall arrange the execution of, and deliver to the Seller such further instruments and certificates of assumption, novation and release as the Seller may reasonably request in order to effectively make the Buyer responsible for all Assumed Liabilities and release the Seller therefrom to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law; and (c) each of the Parties shall use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under Requirements of Law, and execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b)
Without limiting the generality of Section 1.8(a), to the extent that, following the Closing, the Parties mutually determine in good faith that any asset or Liability that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred on the Closing Date (such Asset or Liability, an “Omitted Asset” or “Omitted Liability,” respectively), then, as applicable:  (i) the Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly assign and transfer to the Buyer or its designated assignee, all right, title and interest in such Omitted Asset or (ii) the Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly assume such Omitted Liability and shall thereafter pay, perform, discharge or otherwise satisfy such Omitted Liability in accordance with its terms.  From the time such Omitted Asset or Omitted Liability is discovered until such time as it is transferred to the proper Party or its designated assignee, Section 1.7(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis.  Upon execution of such assignment or assumption, such Omitted Asset or Omitted Liability, as applicable, shall automatically and immediately be deemed to be included in and constitute an Asset or Assumed Liability, as applicable, and included on the appropriate Schedule, if applicable, as of the date of this Agreement and without the need for any additional consideration, and any failure to deliver an Omitted Asset or assume an Assumed Liability at the Closing shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement if and to the extent such omission is fully cured.
 
1.9           Separate Transactions
 
Each Transaction is independent, separate and discrete from each other Transaction for Tax and accounting purposes and asset conveyance documentation.  Notwithstanding such separate treatment, no Transaction may close without all Transactions closing at the same time (but, for the avoidance of doubt, certain Assigned Contracts, Assigned Government Contracts and the Environmental Permits set forth on Schedule 6.9 may be assigned or transferred after the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement).

In connection therewith, if an Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any Antitrust Laws, each of the Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to vigorously contest and resist any such Action including litigating until a Court Order has been issued.  Buyer shall have the exclusive right to direct and control the defense of any such Action with counsel of its own choosing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.2(d) shall limit the right of either Party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d), 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) so long as such Party has, up to the time of termination, complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.2.  Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement.

Patriot Act of 2001, (v) as promptly as reasonably practical after the Buyer’s request, furnishing the Buyer and the Lenders all Required Information, including all information and disclosures reasonably requested by the Buyer to assist with preparation of the Offering Documents, including customary authorization and management representation letters, (vi) reasonably cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Financing Commitments or any definitive document relating to the Financing (to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, and is within the control of, the Seller and is customary and reasonable), (vii) issuing customary representation letters to auditors and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (A) accountants comfort letters and consents to the use of accountants’ audit reports relating to the Seller, (B) consents and waivers and legal opinions, and (C) other documentation and items contemplated by the Financing as reasonably requested by Buyer, (viii) executing and delivering, as of the Closing Date, any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and (ix) as of or subject to the occurrence of the Closing, taking all corporate actions necessary to authorize the consummation of the Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to the Buyer immediately upon the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (X) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, provide any security or incur any other Liability in connection with the Financing, (Y) nothing in this Section 5.12 shall require the Seller, the Companies or their senior officers to engage in any action that would interfere unreasonably with their respective businesses and (Z) the effectiveness of any Encumbrance or documentation executed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Financing shall be subject to the consummation of the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the existence of any such Encumbrances shall not constitute a violation of any representation or warranty of the Seller in this Agreement).  The Seller will use reasonable efforts to update any Required Information to be included in the Offering Document to be used in connection with such Financing as reasonably requested by Buyer.  The Buyer shall promptly, upon request by the Seller, reimburse the Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation.  For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.12(c) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 11.2; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Buyer may include confidential information regarding the Business and the Companies in presentations to rating agencies so long as the Buyer affords the Seller a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and considers the Seller’s comments in good faith.

(b)
Except as set forth in Section 6.1(c), from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to), as promptly as commercially practicable after the Closing Date (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days thereafter), cease all uses of and shall not (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not) use at any time thereafter the name “Rocketdyne” and the “R Rocket” design shown in U.S. Trademark Registration 3,570,325, or any other names or Marks included in the Company Intellectual Property or the Transferred Intellectual Property or any other name or Mark that is confusingly similar to, or a variant of, any of the foregoing as a part of any name or Mark (including in the name of the Seller or any of its respective Affiliates) (whether alone or in combination with any other words, phrases or designs, including any variants of the foregoing).

In the event that either Party or any of its Affiliates violates any of its obligations under this Section 6.1, the other Party may proceed against it in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate.  Each Party acknowledges that a violation of this Section 6.1 may cause the other Party irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages.  Each Party therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 6.1, the other Party and its Affiliates shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that they may have, to seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary and final injunctive relief against such Party or such Party’s Affiliate to prevent any violations of this Section 6.1, without, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the necessity of posting a bond.
 
6.2           Employees; Employee Benefits
 
(a)
Treatment of Business Employees.  Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Seller shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) transfer the employment of each (i) Business Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, is employed by the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller that is not a Company or a Subsidiary of any Company from the Seller (or such Affiliate) to a Company or a Subsidiary of any such Company, and (ii) employee who is not a Business Employee and who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, is employed by a Company or a Subsidiary of a Company from such Company (or a Subsidiary of such Company) to the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller that is not a Company or a Subsidiary of any Company, as designated by the Seller. With respect to each Business Employee who is not covered by a collective bargaining Contract (each, a “Non-Union Business Employee”), the Buyer shall maintain during the Continuation Period the same wage rate or cash salary level in effect for such employee immediately prior to the Closing and compensation, benefit plans and fringe benefits that, in the aggregate, are of the same or substantially the same value, as those in effect immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that with respect to any equity-based or cash-based incentive compensation and benefit programs, Buyer shall provide during the Continuation Period benefits that are substantially of the same value, in all material respects, and Buyer shall have the sole discretion to determine cash and equity components of such benefits.  The Buyer will also recognize each Business Employee’s seniority date with the Company Group under its compensation and fringe benefit programs (where such date is relevant) consistent with the Buyer’s treatment of the Buyer’s employees generally.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not be prohibited by this Section 6.2(a) from terminating the employment of any Business Employee following the Closing Date (it being understood that Business Employees will all be at-will unless such Business Employees have employment agreements for a fixed employment term), subject, however, to the Buyer’s obligations under Section 6.2(d) and Section 6.2(l).  Benefits and compensation for employees subject to a collective bargaining Contract (each, a “Union Business Employee”) shall be provided in accordance with the applicable Contract and subsequent negotiations between the Buyer and collective bargaining representatives.
 
(b)
Service Credit.  As of and after the Closing, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Company to, give each Business Employee full credit for all purposes under any Company Benefit Plans and each other employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement, in each case maintained for the benefit of Business Employees as of and after the Closing by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, for such Business Employee’s service prior to the Closing with the Seller and its applicable Affiliates (including the Companies) and their respective predecessors, to the same extent such service is recognized by Seller and its applicable Affiliates (including the Companies) immediately prior to the Closing under an analogous Benefit Plan; provided, that except as set forth in Section 6.2(h)(iii), such credit shall not be provided for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans or in the event duplication of benefits would result.
 
 
54

 
 
(c)
Health Coverages.  The Buyer shall cause each Business Employee (and his or her “eligible dependents,” as defined in the Benefit Plans) to be covered through at least the end of the Continuation Period by a group health plan or plans that (i) comply with the provisions of Section 6.2(a), (ii) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any pre-existing condition of such Business Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan, and (iii) provide each Business Employee full credit, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Business Employee under the applicable group health Benefit Plan and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group health Benefit Plan or the Buyer’s group health plans.
 
(d)
Severance.  The Seller shall be responsible for all severance Liabilities with respect to Business Employees that arise from or become payable prior to or on the Closing Date pursuant to any Contract or Seller Benefit Plan (it being understood that the Seller shall not be responsible, and the Buyer shall be responsible, for any severance Liabilities with respect to Business Employees that arise as a result of or in connection with a breach by the Buyer and its Affiliates of their obligations hereunder).  With respect to each Business Employee whose employment is terminated without Cause by the Buyer and its Subsidiaries during the Continuation Period, the Buyer shall provide severance payments and benefits in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 6.2(d).  For this purpose, “Cause” means the applicable Business Employee’s (i) conviction of a felony; (ii) commission of a willful and material act of dishonesty involving the Business; (iii) material breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Business; (iv) material breach of the policies or procedures of the Buyer and its Affiliates that causes material harm to the Business; or (v) other willful misconduct that causes material harm to the Business.
 
(e)
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.  Effective as of the Closing, the Seller shall cause the accrued benefits and account balances of all Business Employees who are participants in any Benefit Plan that is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to become fully vested.
 
(f)
Accrued Vacation, Sick Leave and Personal Time.  The Buyer will recognize and assume the liability with respect to accrued but unused vacation time for Business Employees to the extent reflected as a liability in the Final Closing Date Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall pay any accrued but unused vacation time or paid time off for Business Employees with respect to whom such a payment is required by Requirements of Law; provided, that to the extent paid by the Seller prior to or at the Closing, no liability shall be reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement in respect of such vacation time or paid time off.  Current, pre-funded and unused sick leave accounts as reflected on the Seller’s books and records will be Excluded Liabilities.  The Buyer shall allow Business Employees to use the vacation time recognized in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.2(f) in accordance with the terms of those Company Group programs in effect immediately prior to the Closing.  During the Continuation Period, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 6.2(f), the Buyer’s policies of vacation and the Buyer’s payroll policies will be substantially similar in all material respects to the policies that were in effect for Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing.
 
 
55

 
 
(g)
Disability Benefits; Military Leave.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2(a), the Seller (or its applicable Affiliate that is not a Company or a Subsidiary of any Company) shall employ and be responsible for continuing any salary continuation, disability benefits, and all other compensation and benefits for any Business Employee who is receiving or eligible to receive short-term or long-term disability benefits immediately prior to the Closing.  If any such employee is able to return to work during the Continuation Period (or during such longer period mandated by an applicable collective bargaining agreement or by Requirement of Law), or if any Business Employee on military leave as of the Closing Date (or other individual who would have been a Business Employee but for such military leave) is able to return to work during such period as is mandated by Requirement of Law, the Buyer shall offer employment to such employee on terms consistent with those applicable to Business Employees generally under this Section 6.2, and each such employee who accepts such offer of employment with the Buyer shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be a Business Employee on the date such employee commences work with the Buyer.
 
(h)
Pension Plans.
 
 
(i)
The Buyer shall not assume any obligations under or Liabilities with respect to, or receive a transfer of any assets of, any Pension Plans, including the Seller Pension Plan.  The accrued benefit of Pension Participants (as defined below) under the Seller Pension Plan shall not be adjusted following the Closing Date on account of service with the Buyer and its Affiliates, increases or decreases in compensation following the Closing or any other reason (other than in accordance with the terms thereof upon the reemployment of a Pension Participant by Seller and its Affiliates).
 
 
(ii)
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall establish or designate, effective as of the Closing Date, a defined benefit pension plan and trust intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code (the “Buyer Pension Plan”), which shall cover Union Business Employees who are participants in the Seller Pension Plan immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pension Participants”), and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect such establishment or designation as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.  The Buyer shall, with respect to the participation of each Pension Participant, continue to maintain the Buyer Pension Plan on the terms contemplated by this Section 6.2(h) at least until expiration of the collective bargaining Contract applicable to such Pension Participant.
 
 
56

 
 
 
(iii)
The Buyer Pension Plan shall, with respect to the Pension Participants, contain terms substantially identical to those of the Seller Pension Plan, and the Buyer shall cause the Buyer Pension Plan to credit each Pension Participant with full past service credit for eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual, determination of eligibility for early retirement and other subsidized benefits and all other purposes from his or her date of employment with the Seller and its Affiliates (and predecessors) to the extent such service was credited for such purpose on behalf of such Pension Participant under the Seller Pension Plan.
 
 
(iv)
The accrued benefit of each Pension Participant under the Buyer Pension Plan as of the Closing Date, taking into account service as described in Section 6.2(h)(iii) but not taking into account the benefit offset described in the last sentence of this Section 6.2(h)(iv), will be at least as great as the accrued benefit of such Pension Participant under the Seller Pension Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date.  The optional forms of benefit, early retirement benefit provisions and other “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.411(d)-4) applicable to each Pension Participant under the Seller Pension Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date will be applicable to such Pension Participant under the Buyer Pension Plan as of and following the Closing Date to the extent mandated under Requirements of Law.  The benefit of each Pension Participant under the Buyer Pension Plan shall be reduced by the benefit of such Pension Participant under the Seller Pension Plan, determined based on the benefit earned under the Seller Pension Plan (for clarity, determined based upon the accrued benefit earned under the Seller Pension Plan and the applicable early retirement factor for which such Pension Participant would have been eligible as of the Closing Date).
 
 
(v)
The Seller and Buyer agree to coordinate efforts to make all necessary amendments to the Seller Pension Plan and Buyer Pension Plan, as applicable, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date to effectuate the provisions of this Section 6.2(h).  In the event that any of the provisions in this Section 6.2(h) are found by either Party in good faith to be unenforceable or impermissible under Federal pension statute or pension regulations, the Parties agree to coordinate efforts to effect comparable and permissible changes to the respective pension plans that minimize the operational and financial differences of any necessary changes from the arrangement anticipated in this Section 6.2(h).
 
 
(vi)
Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall fully vest the accrued benefits of each Non-Union Business Employee who is a participant in the United Technologies Corporation Employee Retirement Plan.
 
 
(vii)
The Seller is responsible for resolving with the United States Government any adjustment of prior period pension costs associated with the Seller Pension Plan that may be due to or from a Governmental Authority under the provisions of Cost Accounting Standard 413.50(c)(12).  The Seller will be responsible for making any payment due to any such Governmental Authority under that provision and will be entitled to any payment due from such Governmental Authority.  The Buyer will provide the support reasonably needed by the Seller to resolve any adjustment due under that provision, including but not limited to access to records in the custody of the Buyer and its Affiliates and assistance from employees of the Buyer and its Affiliates.
 
 
57

 
 
(i)
401(k) Plan.  Effective at or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Buyer shall establish, and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer to establish, participation by the Business Employees in the Buyer’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Business Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plan”).  If the Buyer 401(k) Plan is not established effective as of the Closing Date, the Buyer will, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Buyer 401(k) Plan is established, make a matching contribution with respect to each Business Employee who participated in the Seller 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Closing in an amount equal to the amount that otherwise would have been contributed in respect of such Business Employee had the Buyer 401(k) Plan been in effect immediately after the Closing.  Thereafter, the Buyer shall continue to make available and maintain the Buyer 401(k) Plan for a period ending no earlier than the end of the Continuation Period.  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller 401(k) Plan shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to Business Employees, and the Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a rollover distribution if so directed by the Business Employee; provided, that such distribution is in the form of cash (or a promissory note for a participant 401(k) loan).  The Parties agree to cooperate so as not to place any loan with respect to a Business Employee’s rollover account into default during the period from the Closing Date until the rollover is completed; provided, that such employee continues making loan repayments on a timely basis during such period in accordance with the Seller’s established procedures.  Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the accounts of all Business Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan to become fully vested.
 
(j)
Multiemployer Plans.  As of the date hereof, the Business has no obligation to contribute to any Multiemployer Plans, other than the Multiemployer Plans set forth on Schedule 6.2(j).  The Buyer will contribute to such Multiemployer Plans on such Union Business Employees’ behalf after the Closing solely with respect to service performed by the Union Business Employees after the Closing Date in accordance with the collective bargaining Contracts applicable to the Business in effect from time to time.
 
(k)
Flexible Spending Accounts.  Effective as of the Closing Date and through at least the end of the Continuation Period, the Buyer shall establish flexible spending accounts for medical and dependent care expenses, and shall credit such accounts with the amount credited as of the Closing Date under comparable accounts maintained under Benefit Plans from the beginning of the plan year to the Closing Date.  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, (i) the Seller shall pay to the Buyer in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate contributions made by Business Employees to the Seller’s flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate benefits provided to Business Employees as of the Closing, or (ii) the Buyer shall pay to the Seller in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate benefits provided to Business Employees under the Seller’s flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate contributions made by Business Employees as of the Closing.
 
 
58

 
 
(l)
Post-Retirement Welfare Benefits.  During the Continuation Period, the Buyer shall provide retiree medical benefits for all Non-Union Business Employees (and their dependents) who (i) immediately prior to the Closing were eligible for retiree medical benefits pursuant to any applicable Seller Benefit Plan, or (ii) on the date of their retirement during the Continuation Period, would have been eligible for retiree medical benefits pursuant to any applicable Seller Benefit Plan (as in effect immediately prior to the Closing) had the Seller not sold the Business.  The retiree medical benefits described above shall be provided in the form of fully retiree-paid coverage that is made available through the Buyer and is comparable to the benefit available on a fully retiree-paid basis at the Closing Date had the Seller not sold the Business.
 
(m)
Collective Bargaining Agreements and Employment Agreements.  The Buyer agrees that as of and following the Closing Date, with respect to facilities covered by collective bargaining agreements that are acquired via the Asset Sale, the Buyer shall recognize and bargain with the unions that are signatories to such collective bargaining agreements as the representatives of the employees of the bargaining units described therein and assume the collective bargaining agreements listed under Schedule 3.19(a) (for the avoidance of doubt, in each case solely with respect to the applicable covered Union Business Employees) to which such unions are signatories.
 
(n)
W-2 Matters.  Pursuant to IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53, the Buyer and the Seller shall apply the “standard” method for purposes of employee payroll reporting with respect to Business Employees.
 
(o)

Section 2101, et seq. (“WARN”), or any state law requiring advance notice to employees of layoffs, terminations, relocations, plant closings, or similar events so that neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall have any Liability under WARN or any such state law as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Buyer shall be primarily responsible for and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and, at the option of the Seller, to defend the Seller from and against any Liability, obligation or cost under WARN or any such state law, with respect to any Business Employee who is found to have suffered an “employment loss” under WARN after the Closing Date as a result of Buyer’s actions, and any and all other Liabilities, obligations and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from Buyer’s actions or inactions or failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to WARN or any such state law.  The Seller shall be primarily responsible for and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and, at the option of the Buyer, to defend the Buyer from and against any Liability, obligation or cost under WARN or any such state law, with respect to any Business Employee who is found to have suffered an “employment loss” under WARN prior to the Closing Date, and any and all other liabilities, obligations and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from Seller’s actions or inactions or failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to WARN or any such state law.  Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to coordinate movement of personnel prior to and following the Closing in connection with the consummation of the Transactions in order to avoid “employment loss” WARN Liabilities, obligations or costs.
 
 
59

 
 
(p)
Retention Agreements.  Effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to), subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.2(j), assume all retention agreements in effect immediately prior to the Closing and listed in Schedule 3.7.
 
(q)
No provision of this Section 6.2 shall (i) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement, (ii) limit the ability of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, any Company or any Subsidiary of any Company) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, or (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including any Business Employee) other than the Parties or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with the Buyer, any Company, any Subsidiary of any Company, or any of their respective Affiliates.
 
6.3           No Access to Insurance Following Closing
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
 
(a)
the Buyer agrees that, except as provided in Sections 6.3(d) and 6.3(f), all right, title and interest of the Company Group or any Affiliates of any member thereof in, to and under any insurance policies and self-insurance arrangements related to periods prior to, after, and through the Closing (including all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) shall, as of the Closing, be deemed Excluded Assets hereunder, and not assets of the Buyer or the Business, and none of the Buyer or the Business shall have any rights under any such insurance policies and self-insurance arrangements;
 
(b)
subject to Sections 6.3(d)6.3(e) and 6.3(f), the Seller or any of its Affiliates may, to be effective at the Closing, amend any such insurance policies in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect to the foregoing;

the Buyer covenants and agrees, except for the Workers Compensation Policies, not to seek to assert or to exercise any rights or claims of any member of the Company Group or the Business under or in respect of any past or current insurance policy under which any member of the Company Group or Affiliate thereof or the Business is a named insured;
 
 
60

 
 
(d)
the Seller and its Affiliates will keep each of the insurance policies set forth or required to be set forth on Schedule 3.25, or suitable replacements therefor, in full force and effect through the Closing.  With respect to any property loss damaging physical assets that, but for such loss, would be an asset of the Business (“Property Loss”), which Property Loss is incurred between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to pursue insurance coverage for such Property Loss, including business interruption coverage for such Property Loss and shall provide the proceeds actually received as a result of such claim or claims to the Buyer net of (i) any amount by which the Final Purchase Price was affected pursuant to the purchase price adjustment procedure in Section 1.5 as a result of such casualty loss, (ii) any amount compensating for business interruption for the period prior to the Closing Date and (iii) any deductibles and self-insurance retentions and any costs or expenses incurred by the Seller or its Affiliates in pursuing such insurance coverage;
 
(e)
following the Closing, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise eliminate insurance coverage under each of the Workers Compensation Policies with respect to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to Transferred Employees that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date; and
 
(f)
notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), with respect to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to Transferred Employees that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date, including those occurrences, events, incidents and accidents that have occurred prior to the Closing Date but are not discovered until after the Closing Date, that are covered by Workers Compensation Policies (“Pre-Closing WC Claims”), the Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to report Pre-Closing WC Claims directly to the provider of such Workers Compensation Policies (the “WC Insurer”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer’s efforts to obtain the benefit of such insurance coverage; provided, however, that (x) the Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed and shall exclusively bear and shall promptly repay or reimburse the Seller or its Affiliates for the amount of each claim including any deductibles or self-insured retentions associated with any claims under the Workers Compensation Policies and shall be liable for and indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates against all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of such claims.  The Seller shall, on a quarterly basis, submit an invoice to the Buyer for any amounts payable to the WC Insurer in respect of such claims, which the Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) calendar days) reimburse to the Seller.
 
6.4           Novation of Assigned Government Contracts
 
(a)
As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Seller shall prepare (with the Buyer’s assistance, which will include preparation of all information and documents required of the transferee for such requests), in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations, 48 C.F.R. Section 42.12, and any applicable agency regulations or policies, a written request meeting the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42, as reasonably interpreted by the Responsible Contracting Officer (as such term is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42), which shall be submitted by the Seller to the Responsible Contracting Officer for each Assigned Government Contract, for the applicable U.S. Governmental Authority (i) to recognize the Buyer or its designated Affiliate as the Seller’s successor-in-interest to each Assigned Government Contract with a U.S. Governmental Authority and (ii) to enter into a novation agreement (a “Novation Agreement”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller, pursuant to which, subject to the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 42, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, and all of the Seller’s obligations and liabilities under, such Assigned Government Contract shall be validly conveyed, transferred and assigned and novated to the Buyer by all parties thereto.  The Seller and the Buyer shall each use reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreements with regard to any such Assigned Government Contracts, including responding to any requests for information by a U.S. Governmental Authority with regard to such Novation Agreements.
 
 
61

 
 
(b)
The Parties acknowledge that the transfer or assignment of an Assigned Government Contract where a U.S. Governmental Authority is a party is subject to the contracting agency’s approval of a Novation Agreement recognizing the Buyer as the successor-in-interest to the Seller.  Unless and until the contracting agency recognizes the Buyer as the successor-in-interest to the Seller under any Assigned Government Contract, then the Seller shall, through a subcontracting arrangement or otherwise, provide to the Buyer all of the Seller’s rights and obligations under such Assigned Government Contract to the maximum extent permissible under law.  In connection therewith, the Buyer shall perform on behalf of the Seller all of the Seller’s obligations and satisfy all of the Seller’s Liabilities under such Assigned Government Contract, and the Seller shall remit to the Buyer all payments it receives under such Assigned Government Contract with respect to obligations performed by the Buyer.  The Parties shall take all necessary steps and actions to provide the Buyer with the benefits of such Assigned Government Contracts, and to relieve the Seller of the performance and other obligations thereunder, including entry into subcontracts for the performance thereof.  The Buyer agrees to pay, perform and discharge, and, if the Seller acts with reasonable care in providing such arrangements and taking such actions, indemnify the Seller against and hold the Seller harmless from, all obligations and Liabilities of the Seller arising from such performance or failure to perform under such Assigned Government Contracts.

In the event that the Seller shall be unable to make the equitable transfer described in the preceding paragraphs, or if such attempted transfer of rights or assumption of Liabilities would give rise to any right of termination, or would otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Seller or the Buyer under such Assigned Government Contract, the Seller and the Buyer shall continue to cooperate and use their reasonable efforts to provide the Buyer with all rights and obligations under such Assigned Government Contracts.  To the extent that any such consents, novations and waivers are not obtained, or until the impediments to such assignment or novation are resolved, the Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to (i) provide to the Buyer, at the request of the Buyer, the benefits of any such Assigned Government Contract to the extent related to the Business, (ii) cooperate in any lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer and (iii) enforce, at the request of and for the account of the Buyer, any rights of the Seller arising from any such Assigned Government Contract against any third party (including any Governmental Authority), including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of the Buyer. To the extent that the Buyer is provided the benefits of any Assigned Government Contract referred to herein (whether from the Seller or otherwise), the Buyer shall perform on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of any third party (including any Governmental Authority) the Liabilities and obligations of the Seller thereunder or in connection therewith, and the Buyer agrees to pay, perform and discharge, and, if the Seller acts with reasonable care in providing such arrangements and taking such actions, indemnify the Seller against and hold the Seller harmless from, all obligations and Liabilities of the Seller arising from such performance or failure to perform, and in the event of a failure of such indemnity, the Seller shall cease to be obligated under this Agreement in respect of the Assigned Government Contract which is the subject of such failure.

(l)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations contained in this Section 6.12 shall survive the Closing Date until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Parties’ indemnification obligations under Section 6.12 shall not be affected by any provision of Section 9.6(a) other than Section 9.6(a)(vi) and (b) to the extent that a Buyer Group Member shall be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes pursuant to more than one provision contained in this Agreement (including Section 6.12(a) and Section 9.2), in no event shall Seller be required to indemnify such Buyer Group Member for such Taxes more than once.

After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 9 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction in an action between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree.  The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.  The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by it.  All amounts due to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer within thirty (30) days after such final determination.

The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand.  To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereof pursuant to Section 9.5(a) the Indemnified Party may defend against or otherwise deal with any such proceeding, claim or demand and may retain counsel, all at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding.  Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such proceeding without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless (x) the claimant and the Indemnitor provide to the Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of such proceeding and (y) such settlement does not provide for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief restricting or obligating the Indemnified Party.  After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnifiable by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

9.7           Environmental Matters
 
(a)
The following provisions of this Section 9.7 shall govern the Seller’s and the Buyer’s investigations, remediations and indemnification obligations relating to Environmental Liabilities for Remedial Actions.
 
(b)
The Seller’s Remedial Action obligations are subject to the following standards and limitations:
 
 
(i)
Pursuant to its indemnity obligations under Section 9.2(d) and the provisions of Section 9.7(e), Seller shall be the Lead Party for and shall perform all Remedial Actions Required by Law for all Preexisting Environmental Conditions and all Seller New Environmental Conditions.  Where the Seller is the Lead Party, the Seller shall have the right, after reasonably consulting with the Buyer, to select and utilize, to the maximum extent allowable under applicable Environmental Laws, institutional and engineering controls, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7(b)(iv).
 
 
(ii)
With respect to any Environmental Condition for which the Seller is responsible, the Seller shall only be obligated to conduct, or provide indemnification for, Remedial Actions Required by Law that are conducted in a reasonably cost-effective manner acceptable to or approved by the applicable Governmental Authorities (considering initial capital costs, the present discounted value of anticipated future monitoring, operation and maintenance costs, and any costs associated with disruption of operations at the affected property), to achieve the Applicable Remediation Standards.  The Seller shall seek, to the extent practicable, a no further action letter or similar document from the applicable Governmental Authority confirming that no further Remedial Action (other than maintenance and monitoring of institutional and engineering controls meeting the requirements of Section 9.7(b)(iv)) are required with respect to such Environmental Condition.
 
 
90

 
 
 
(iii)
If the Seller reasonably believes that the action of a Governmental Authority in imposing Applicable Remediation Standards or in requiring particular Remedial Action methods is contrary to law or unreasonable under the circumstances, and the Seller determines in its reasonable business judgment that the most cost-effective approach is to challenge such action through appropriate regulatory and/or judicial processes, the Seller reserves the right to undertake such challenge.  The Seller shall have the right to control such legal or regulatory challenge, and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller with respect to such challenge; provided, that (i) Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer shall extend to and include the obligation to indemnify Buyer for Losses caused by the Seller’s decision to exercise any such legal challenges; and (ii) during the pendency of such challenge the Seller shall take such actions which are required by law or reasonable under the circumstances.
 
 
(iv)
In addition to the Environmental Restrictions, the Seller shall have the right to propose and utilize institutional and engineering controls, subject to the following:
 
 
(A)
The Seller shall have the right to utilize institutional and engineering controls at the Canoga Park Leased Premises and PWRWB Leased Premises as provided in the Canoga Park Lease and the PWRWB Lease, respectively.
 
 
(B)
The Seller shall have the right, subject to approval of the applicable Governmental Authority, to propose and utilize institutional controls restricting future use of the Leased Real Property to industrial or commercial purposes and prohibiting withdrawal of groundwater; provided that such institutional controls would not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
(C)
The Seller shall have the right, subject to approval of the applicable Governmental Authority, to propose and accept engineering controls (e.g., capping or covering areas) on the Leased Real Property; provided that such engineering controls would not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
91

 
 
 
(D)
The Seller shall have the right to propose engineering controls on the Owned Real Property in addition to those engineering controls referenced in the Environmental Restrictions set forth in Section 6.10 subject to the Buyer’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that such additional engineering controls shall not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or the anticipated future industrial or commercial use of the Owned Real Property or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
(E)
If the Seller elects to utilize engineering and/or institutional controls as provided in Section 9.7(c)(iv), the Buyer agrees to cooperate in executing and recording any documents that are necessary to establish and implement such institutional and engineering controls (“Environmental Covenants”).
 
 
(v)
If the Buyer undertakes any construction, expansion, demolition or renovation activities on the Owned Real Property, Leased Real Property, the Canoga Park Leased Premises or the PWRWB Leased Premises (to the extent permitted under the Canoga Park Lease or the PWRWB Lease) that are not required by applicable Environmental Law or ordered, directed or otherwise formally requested by a Governmental Authority, and that involve the demolition or renovation of any structures, the removal of any slab, paved area, parking lot or engineering control cap (collectively, “Cap”) or the excavation of soils beneath any such Cap, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with such work, including (1) any costs of construction, expansion, demolition, renovation and excavation; (2) any costs of identification, management and removal of Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials; (3) any costs of the management and disposition of waste materials related to the construction, demolition or renovation of such structures; (4) any costs of excavation or disposal of disturbed or excavated in the process of conducting such work; and (5) the costs of replacing any engineering control cap to the extent required under applicable Environmental Law or any Environmental Covenants; and the Seller shall have no indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) with respect to any such costs; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve Seller from its indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) with respect to any storage tanks, drums, waste units, barrels, containers, or other closed receptacles previously undisclosed to the Buyer.
 
 
(vi)
Upon the Seller providing to the Buyer evidence of the LA Regional Board’s issuance of a no further action letter with respect to Environmental Conditions at the Owned Real Property, the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) (relating to Remedial Actions to the Applicable Remediation Standard) with respect to such Environmental Conditions on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property shall terminate, and the Buyer shall assume responsibility for such Environmental Conditions at the Owned Real Property.  However, in the event the LA Regional Board reopens site investigation or other Remedial Actions Required by Law due to changes in legal standards applicable to Preexisting Environmental Conditions or Seller New Environmental Conditions, then Seller shall resume Lead Party responsibility with respect to such Remedial Actions Required by Law.
 
 
92

 
 
(c)
If it is determined that an Environmental Condition that requires Remedial Action is the result of a Buyer New Environmental Condition in combination with either a Preexisting Environmental Condition or a Seller New Environmental Condition, liability for any Remedial Action shall be allocated equitably between the Seller and the Buyer based on consideration of (among others) the following factors:
 
 
(i)
whether, but for the Environmental Condition for which one of the Parties is solely responsible, a Remedial Action obligation would have arisen for the other Party;
 
 
(ii)
the relative quantity, toxicity and area affected by the Regulated Substances for which the respective Parties are responsible;
 
 
(iii)
the degree to which the Regulated Substance for which a Party is responsible affects the selection of the remedy, the cost of the remedy, and the period of time over which the remedy must be implemented; and
 
 
(iv)
other relevant considerations.
 
(d)
The Parties agree that the following presumptions will be used in determining whether an Environmental Condition discovered on the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property after the Closing Date is a Preexisting Environmental Condition, a Seller New Environmental Condition or a Buyer New Environmental Condition:
 
 
(i)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was not used, generated or stored by the Buyer (including any prior owner or Predecessor), and is not a decomposition product of a substance used, generated, or stored by the Buyer, it shall be presumed that the Environmental Condition is a Preexisting Environmental Condition.
 
 
(ii)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of a substance used, generated or stored by the Buyer, and such Regulated Substance was not used, generated or stored by the Seller (including any prior owner or Predecessor) then, it shall be presumed that the Environmental Condition is a Buyer New Environmental Condition.
 
 
(iii)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by both the Seller (including any prior owner or Predecessor) and the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of such a substance, and if an Environmental Condition Assessment has been conducted with respect to the subject property either before the Closing or within three (3) months after the Closing, then:
 
 
93

 
 
 
(A)
the concentrations and areas affected by the Regulated Substance as identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment shall be presumed to be Preexisting Environmental Conditions in the absence of evidence that such Environmental Condition resulted from a Release of the Regulated Substance by the Buyer;
 
 
(B)
an Environmental Condition found after completion of the Environmental Condition Assessment involving the presence of any Regulated Substance that was not identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment and is not the decomposition product of a substance of identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment, shall be presumed to be a Buyer New Environmental Condition; and
 
 
(C)
an Environmental Condition found after completion of the Environmental Condition Assessment involving the presence of a Regulated Substance or breakdown product thereof at a higher concentration or in a different area than identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment shall be presumed to be a Buyer New Environmental Condition.
 
 
(iv)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by both the Seller and the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of such a substance, but where an environmental assessment has not been conducted, then no presumptions shall be made.
 
 
(v)
With respect to the Canoga Park Facility, it shall be presumed that any Environmental Condition found in areas where the Seller conducted operations prior to the Closing is a Preexisting Environmental Condition unless there has been a reportable Release of a Regulated Substance by Buyer in such area.
 
 
(vi)
Each presumption set forth in this subsection shall be a rebuttable presumption.  Such presumption shall place the burden of going forward and the burden or persuasion upon the party against whom the presumption applies.  The presumption may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary.
 
(e)
Communication and Control.
 
 
(i)
The Party that has the right to assume control of a response to an Environmental Liability related to the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property in accordance with this Section 9.7(e) shall be designated as the “Lead Party” for purposes of such Environmental Liability.
 
 
(A)
The Seller shall be the Lead Party and have the right to assume control of, direct and implement any Remedial Action defense or other response relating to any Preexisting Environmental Condition or any Seller New Environmental Condition on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property, subject to the conditions herein.
 
 
94

 
 
 
(B)
The Buyer shall be the Lead Party and have the right to assume control of, direct and implement any Remedial Action, defense or other response relating to any Buyer New Environmental Condition on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property.
 
 
(C)
If it is determined that an Environmental Condition on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property is the result of a Buyer New Environmental Condition in combination with either a Preexisting Environmental Condition or a Seller New Environmental Condition, the Party with the greater proportionate responsibility shall be the Lead Party and have the right to assume control of, direct and implement any Remedial Action, defense or other response relating to such Environmental Condition.
 
 
(ii)
Within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of a claim pursuant to Section 9.5(a), the Buyer or the Seller, as appropriate, shall notify the other party of its intent to act as Lead Party.

95

 
 
 
(D)
The Lead Party shall provide the non-Lead Party with notice of any meetings with any Governmental Authority concerning the Remedial Action, and the non-Lead Party shall have the right to have its representatives or consultants attend such meeting at the sole expense of the non-Lead Party.

If the non-Lead Party is in possession of the site where Remedial Actions are being implemented, the Lead Party shall provide reasonable advance notice to and reasonably consult with the non-Lead Party concerning the scheduling and methods for implementing any Remedial Action with the objective of minimizing to the extent reasonably practicable interference with the non-Lead Party’s business operations at the site in question.
 
 
(vi)
The non-Lead Party agrees to refrain from any ex parte communications with any involved Governmental Authority or other Person regarding any Remedial Action being undertaken by the Lead Party or the Environmental Conditions giving rise to such Remedial Action, without notice to and the opportunity by the Lead Party to participate in such communication; provided that the non-Lead Party may engage in a communication with an involved Governmental Authority without notice to the Lead Party if:

(B)
a Governmental Authority conducts an inspection or otherwise initiates a communication with the non-Lead Party; provided that the non-Lead Party shall notify the Lead Party as soon as practicable following such communication.
 
In communications with any Governmental Authority or other Person regarding any such Remedial Action or underlying Environmental Condition, the non-Lead Party or any representatives of the non-Lead Party shall not advocate or take any action that would hinder, render more difficult, or render more expensive the Remedial Action to be undertaken by the Lead Party pursuant to the Lead Party’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.2.

 
(vii)
The Buyer and Buyer Group Members shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Seller, including providing reasonable access to any Facilities, employees, business and personal records, data and information, including access to the Seller and the Seller’s contractors to conduct any investigation of Environmental Conditions or any Remedial Action on or at any of the Facilities, in accordance with the Access Agreement.

does hereby release, hold harmless and forever discharge the Seller from any and all Environmental Liabilities of any kind or character, whether known or unknown, except for those obligations that are set forth in this Agreement; and

10.4           Termination Fee
 
(a)
If this Agreement is terminated, or if terminated pursuant to another provision, was capable of being terminated (i) pursuant to Section 10.1(d) based upon a Court Order enjoining the consummation of the Transactions under applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) pursuant to Section 10.1(c) on the basis that the Buyer has breached (and not cured) its obligations under Section 5.2, (iii) pursuant to Section 10.1(e) where the Buyer has breached its obligations under Section 5.2; provided that solely for purposes of this Section 10.4(a)(iii), the Buyer shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 5.2(e)(ii) if it used reasonable best efforts to comply therewith, or (iv) pursuant to Section 10.1(f) and at the time of such termination the conditions set forth in either Sections 7.2 and 8.2 or Sections 7.4 and 8.5 have not been met, then the Buyer shall pay the Seller an amount totaling twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Termination Fee”) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following such termination of this Agreement.
 
(b)
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Termination Fee has been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the Parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages that would be caused by a termination of, or failure to close under, this Agreement as described in Section 10.4(a), and that an award of such liquidated damages in the amount of the Termination Fee shall be Seller’s exclusive remedy against Buyer and its Affiliates (and any Financing Sources of the Buyer) for any Losses incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates as a result of such termination or failure to close.  In addition, if the Buyer fails promptly to pay the amount due to the Seller pursuant to this Section 10.4, it shall also pay (i) interest thereon at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%), plus (ii) any costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against or settlement with the Buyer for such amount.
 
(c)
The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 10.4 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement.  In light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual losses or damages with respect to the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Termination Fee, in the circumstances in which it becomes payable, constitute a reasonable estimate of the Losses that will be suffered by reason of any termination of this Agreement where the Termination Fee is payable and constitutes liquidated damages and is not a penalty; provided, however, that the Termination Fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of:
 
 
100

 
 
 
(i)
the aggregate amount of the Seller’s expenses that are reimbursed by the Buyer under Section 5.2; and
 
 
(ii)
the fees and expenses of the Buyer that are incurred in connection with litigating with a Governmental Authority following the filing by that Governmental Authority of a complaint, which is not filed contemporaneously with a proposed final judgment proposing the resolution of the matter, seeking to restrain or enjoin the carrying out of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
SECTION 11.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
11.1           Specific Performance

11.8           Interpretation
 
(a)
Titles and headings to articles, sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
 
(b)
The Schedules referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.  Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section for which such disclosure is relevant if the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such disclosure.  The Schedules are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as, constituting, representations or warranties of the Seller except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement or to expand the scope of the representations or warranties of the Seller under the Agreement.  Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to vary the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” or to be an admission that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is material or is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, (i) neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course, and (ii) no Party shall use the mere fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the Ordinary Course for purposes of this Agreement.  The Seller may, from time to time prior to or at the Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, supplement, amend or create any Schedule, in order to add information or correct previously supplied information, and no such amendment shall be evidence, in and of itself, that the representations and warranties in the corresponding Section are no longer true and correct in all material respects.  It is specifically agreed that such Schedules may be amended to add immaterial, as well as material, items thereto.  Notwithstanding any amendment, supplement, creation of or update to any Schedule, no such supplemental, amended or additional Schedule shall be deemed to cure any breach of any covenant or breach or inaccuracy of any representation for purposes of Section 7.1 or 9.2 or for any other purpose, and it is agreed that the Buyer may elect to take or refrain from taking actions and to receive indemnification based upon information contained in Schedules attached to this Agreement at the time of execution hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, if the Schedules delivered to the Buyer on the date of this Agreement are inaccurate or deficient as a result of differences between (i) the definition of “Business” or “Restricted Products” and (i) the definitions of those terms as set forth on Exhibit N to this Agreement, respectively, then any such inaccuracies or deficiencies shall be fully cured, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, to the extent that prior to the date that is three (3) weeks after the date of this Agreement the Seller provides the Buyer with updated Schedules with revisions to correct such inaccuracies and deficiencies.
 
 
104

 
 
(c)
For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires, (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and to all of the Schedules and not to any particular provision, unless otherwise stated, and (iii) the term “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to the Business in any provision of this Agreement following the Recitals shall not be deemed to include the Excluded Assets, the Excluded Liabilities, the Excluded PWR Assets or the RDA Business unless, and then only to the extent that, the Excluded Assets, the Excluded Liabilities, the Excluded PWR Assets or the RDA Business, as applicable, are expressly included; provided, however, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply in construing the terms “Business,” “Assets” and “Transferred Intellectual Property” solely as such terms are set forth in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and the definitions thereof in Section 12.1 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such exclusions shall apply where such defined terms are used elsewhere in the Agreement, and no additional assets or Intellectual Property shall constitute Assets or Transferred Intellectual Property solely because they relate primarily to Excluded Liabilities, Excluded PWR Assets or the RDA Business).
 
 
105

 
 
(f)
This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

11.10           Bulk Sales Laws
 
The Parties hereby waive compliance with all applicable “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in which the Assets are located or in which operations relating to the Business are conducted.

11.12           Partial Invalidity
 
Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Requirements of Law.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
 
11.13           Execution in Counterparts
 
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the Seller and the Buyer.
 
 
106

 
 
11.14           Governing Law
 
This Agreement (and all claims, controversies or causes of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including any claim, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement)) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflict of laws provisions.
 
11.15           Submission to Jurisdiction: Consent to Service of Process
 
The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of New York, County of New York, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof, and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any legal proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  The Parties shall not bring or support any claims, actions or Proceedings in any forum other than those described in the previous sentence, including any such claim, action or Proceeding against the Financing Sources.  The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Requirements of Law.  Nothing in this Section 11.15 shall relieve the Parties of their obligations under Section 1.5 of this Agreement.
 
11.16           Attorneys’ Fees
 
If any action, suit or other proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement is brought, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions hereof, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that proceeding in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
 
11.17           Time of Essence
 
Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement.
 
11.18           Waiver of Jury Trial
