Seller shall have thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement to review the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. During such time, Seller may dispute any items set forth on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby), and Buyer shall give Seller access to all Records, facilities and personnel of Buyer as are reasonably requested by Seller to review the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement. Unless Seller deliver written notice to Buyer of dispute thereof on or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) calendar day after Sellers’ receipt of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement and such statement (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) shall be final, binding and conclusive. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing of disputed items contained in the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) (each a “Disputed Item” and collectively the “Disputed Items”) within such thirty (30) calendar day period, for thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such notice by Seller to Buyer (the “Resolution Period”), Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the Disputed Items. Upon delivery of any such notice of Disputed Items by Seller, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to all items on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items, and such items (and the specific calculations or methods contemplated thereby) other than the Disputed Items shall be final, binding and conclusive. Any resolution by Buyer and Seller during the Resolution Period as to any Disputed Items shall be set forth in writing and will be final, binding and conclusive. If Buyer and Seller do not resolve all Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute shall be submitted by either one of the Parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the Resolution Period to a national or regional independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Neutral Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine only those Disputed Items remaining in dispute as of the end of the Resolution Period. In resolving such Disputed Items, the Neutral Arbitrator may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any Party. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Arbitrator shall be allocated and borne between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the

Page 22

Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted. In addition, Buyer and Seller shall give the Neutral Arbitrator access to all Records, facilities and personnel of such Party and its Affiliates and Representatives as is reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Arbitrator to deliver to Buyer and Seller a written determination (such determination to include an explanation in reasonable detail of the reasons for such determination and a work sheet setting forth all material calculations and methods used in arriving at such determination) of the Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator and the resulting effect thereof on the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such Disputed Items, which determination will be final, binding and conclusive and upon which judgment may be entered. The final, binding and conclusive Post-Closing Net Working Capital Statement based either upon agreement or deemed agreement by Buyer and Seller or the written determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with thisSection 2.6(a) will be the “Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement.”

(d)Post-Closing Adjustment.

If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement exceeds the amount of the Net Working Capital set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement, Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of the excess and/or, without duplication, Buyer may recover the amount of the excess from the Escrow Account, at its option. All payments to be made pursuant to thisSection 2.6(d) shall be made no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following the date on which Buyer and Seller agree, or are deemed to have agreed to, or the Neutral Arbitrator delivers, the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement.

(e)Remedies. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if Buyer seeks any adjustment pursuant to thisSection 2.6 or if any Working Capital Statements, Calculation, or other determination contemplated by thisSection 2.6 provides for or otherwise addresses any facts or circumstances that could be the basis for such an adjustment, Buyer shall not be permitted to pursue any indemnification claim pursuant toArticle VII related thereto based on a beach of a representation or warranty to the extent of any recovery by Buyer pursuant to thisSection 2.6 so that there is no duplication of recovery by Buyer.

Section 2.7Allocation. Buyer and the Seller agree to allocate the Purchase Price (as finally determined hereunder), the Assumed Liabilities and all other items required under the IRC among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and any similar provision of state, local, ornon-U.S. law (the “Allocation Principles”).

Section 2.8Non-Transferability.

If the applicable withholding Party or agent determines that deduction or withholding is required pursuant to thisSection 2.9, it shall give advance notice of any amount to be deducted or withheld to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding would be made. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, to minimize or eliminate to the extent permissible under applicable Laws the amount of any such deduction or withholding. To the extent the Buyer withholds any such amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Each Transferred Employee shall be given credit for all service with Seller under any employee benefit plans or arrangements of Buyer and its Affiliates, to the extent authorized under such plans, including any such plans providing vacation and sick pay, maintained by Buyer in which such Transferred Employees participate for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of pension benefits), but only to the extent such credit was provided under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan and was set forth on the Financial Statements orSection 5.9(c) of the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall be construed to require crediting of service that would result in a duplication of benefits.

(d)Waiver ofPre-Existing Conditions; Crediting ofCo-Payments and Deductibles. To the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis, as determined by Buyer, Buyer shall cause (i) the waiver of all limitations as topre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees under any of Buyer’s welfare benefit plans to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would not apply under the Seller Benefit Plans, and (ii) for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs (or, if later, in the calendar year in which Transferred Employees and their dependents commence participation in the applicable welfare plans), the crediting of each Transferred Employee with anyco-payments and deductibles paid prior to participation in such welfare plans in satisfying any applicable deductible orout-of-pocket requirements thereunder. No later than 30 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide a report to Buyer that provides each Transferred Employee’sco-payments, deductibles andout-of-pocket expenses paid under the Seller Benefit Plans through the Closing Date.

(e)Accrued Vacation. With each Transferred Employee’s final paycheck from Seller, Seller shall pay each Transferred Employee for all vacation and sickness benefit days such Transferred Employee has accrued but not used in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. Each Transferred Employee shall begin employment with Buyer without any accrued vacation or sickness benefit, but with the service credit as described above.

(f)Welfare Benefit Claims; COBRA. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible in accordance with its applicable welfare plans (and the applicable welfare plans of its Affiliates) in effect prior to the Closing Date for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) for expenses incurred, and for allnon-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims) incurred, under such plans prior to the Closing by the Transferred Employees and their dependents. Buyer shall be responsible in accordance with the applicable welfare plans of Buyer and its Affiliates for all reimbursement

Page 46

claims (such as medical and dental claims) for expenses incurred, and for allnon-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims) incurred, on or after the Closing (or the date of commencement of employment with Buyer, if later) by Transferred Employees and their dependents who are eligible for and participating in any applicable welfare plans at the time of the incurrence of such claims and expenses after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section, a claim shall be deemed to have been incurred as follows: (i) for health, dental and prescription drug benefits, upon provision of such goods or services, (ii) for life, accidental death and dismemberment, disability and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, injury, illness or accident giving rise to such benefits, and (iii) for hospital-provided health, dental, prescription drug or the benefits which become payable with respect to any hospital confinement,pro-rata based upon the number of days of such confinement occurring before and after the Closing Date. The Seller and its Affiliates shall remain obligated under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) with respect to qualifying events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Closing, Buyer will assume Seller’s medical insurance plans (standard medical plan and premium medical plan, dental plan and vision plan) described onSection 3.13 of the Disclosure Schedule, including but not limited to the stop-loss reinsurance plan related thereto; provided, however, in order to coverrun-off claims after the Closing, the Net Working Capital calculations will include a reserve of $100,000 and the Escrow Amount will be increased by an additional $100,000, which $100,000 additional Escrow Amount shall be retained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement until the later of the deadline for employees covered by such plans immediately prior to the Closing Date to (i) submit all medical insurance claims for expenses incurred during the period prior to the Closing or (ii) submit all medical insurance claims for expenses incurred during the COBRA period, for those who timely elected COBRA coverage under such plans for qualifying events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding such reserve and additional Escrow Amount, Seller shall retain all Liability incurred by the sponsor of such medical plans for covered claims by or on behalf of employees of Seller that are made with respect to expenses incurred under such plans prior to the Closing, and shall immediately pay any such claims in excess of the $100,000 reserve and $100,000 additional Escrow Amount, together with all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, of collection incurred by Buyer to enforce Seller’s obligations hereunder. With respect to Seller’s Flexible Benefit Plans, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to have in effect flexible spending reimbursement accounts for medical and dependent care expenses under a cafeteria plan qualified under Section 125 of the Code and will credit such accounts with the amount credited as of the Closing under comparable accounts maintained with Seller for each Transferred Employee from the beginning of the plan year to the Closing Date. As soon as practical after the Closing Date (i) Seller will pay to Buyer in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate contributions made by Transferred Employees to Seller’s Flexible Benefit Plan accounts for such plan year exceeded the aggregate benefits provided to the Transferred Employees for such plan year as of the Closing Date or (ii) Buyer will pay to Seller in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate benefits provided to the Transferred Employees under Seller’s Flexible Benefit Plan accounts exceeded the aggregate contributions made by the Transferred Employees for such plan year as of the Closing Date. No later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide a report to Buyer of the foregoing calculations.

Page 47

(g)Liabilities. Buyer shall be solely responsible for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities that are incurred or arise as a result of events that occurred after the Closing and relate to any Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary of any Transferred Employee) and Seller shall not have any responsibility for any such Liability. Except to the extent such Liability is an Assumed Liability (including any Liability set forth on the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including in thisSection 5.8), Seller shall be solely responsible for all employment and employee benefits-related Liabilities that are incurred or arise as a result of events that occurred upon or prior to the Closing in respect of Transferred Employees (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or in respect of any Seller Benefit Plan and for all Liabilities regardless of when they occur, with respect to any Covered Employee who is not a Transferred Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Covered Employee becomes entitled to any severance benefits in connection with his or her termination of employment from Seller or its Affiliates, Seller (or its applicable Affiliate) shall be solely responsible for such benefits.

(h)WARN Act. In reliance upon the terms and agreements set forth in thisSection 5.8, neither Seller nor Buyer shall provide a notice under the WARN Act.

(i)Provision of Information/Cooperation. Seller shall provide Buyer all information it reasonably requires to comply with its obligations under thisSection 5.8. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate to implement the provisions of thisSection 5.8.

(j)No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. The Parties agree that nothing in thisSection 5.8, whether express or implied, is intended to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Covered Employee or dependent thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect of continued employment by such Person or otherwise. Nothing herein, other than as expressly provided in thisSection 5.8, shall (i) preclude the ability of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate any employee for cause or for any reason more than three (3) months after the Closing Date, or (ii) require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to continue any employee compensation or benefits plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date. Nothing herein is intended to, or shall be deemed to, amend any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Seller or Buyer.

Section 5.9Recording of Intellectual Property Assignments. All of the Intellectual Property Assignments shall be recorded and filed by Buyer and the applicable Seller in each jurisdiction where there is any patented, registered or applied for Intellectual Property included in the Acquired Assets, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, with the appropriate Governmental Authorities as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

Section 5.10Taxes

(a) Any stamp, documentary, registration, sales, use, transfer, added-value or other transfer-relatednon-income Tax (a “Transfer Tax”) imposed under applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Page 48

(b) Buyer and the Seller further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(c) Property Taxes and ad valorem Taxes (“Property Taxes”) on the Acquired Assets shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller effective as of the Closing Date, with Seller being responsible for amounts relating to the period on or prior to the Closing Date and Buyer being responsible for amounts relating to the period after the Closing Date. The Property Taxes shall be estimated as of the Closing Date based on Property Taxes for the prior year and current tax rates and valuations applicable to the Acquired Assets. At the Closing, the Property Taxes shall be prorated based on such estimate and Buyer shall be entitled to a credit equal to the amount that Seller is obligated to pay, and Buyer shall pay such Property Taxes prior to delinquency. If the estimate is incorrect, the party determining the same shall provide written notice to the other party with reasonable evidence of actual property taxes including the reproration of the actual Property Taxes and the Party that paid more than its pro rata portion shall pay to the other Party the amount equal to such overpayment within 30 days of its receipt of notice and reasonable evidence therefor.

Section 5.11BOMAY Electric Industries Co., Ltd. For the two (2) years following the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Bomay with technical and engineering support services for up to twenty (20) hours per week at Buyer’s actual cost plus twenty percent (20%); provided, however, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to hire any person to provide such services or otherwise interfere with Buyer’s ordinary course of business.

Section 5.12Use of Houston Office. For forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Charles Dauber, Arthur Dauber, Bill Brod and Frank Gu are authorized (during Buyer’s normal business hours), to use their former office space in the space leased by M&I in Houston for $500 per week.

Section 5.13Warranty Service Obligations. Buyer will perform, or will cause to be performed, the Warranty Service Obligations for all Warranty Claims (other than the Excluded Warranty Claims) in accordance with Seller’s past practices as set forth onAnnex I that occurs within the warranty period of the relevant product and warranty upon which such Warranty Claim is based. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the cost incurred by Buyer in connection with fulfilling Warranty Service Obligations (“Warranty Service Costs”) shall include all reasonable, industry standard costs incurred in connection with Buyer’s good faith efforts to determine whether or not the cause of the reported problem is the result of a defect in design, material or workmanship of the product or nonconformance with the specifications for such product. Warranty Service Costs shall be determined using Buyer’s costs for the applicable work. Notwithstanding anything to the

Page 49

contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall pay Buyer for all Warranty Service Costs incurred or that may be incurred by Buyer in excess of $375,000 in the aggregate (being the sum of a $325,000 reserve established in the determination of Net Working Capital and then $50,000 to be incurred directly by Buyer) (the “Excess Warranty Service Costs”) within ten (10) days after Buyer’s notification of such excess or the expectation of such excess if such expected excess will exceed $10,000. Seller’s obligation to pay Buyer for Excess Warranty Service Costs shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the resolution of all Warranty Claims with respect to products or services shipped by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no obligation to pay Buyer for Excess Warranty Costs unless such costs relate to products shipped or services provided in full prior to the Closing Date (even if such products or services were manufactured or delivered in part by Seller prior to the Closing Date); provided, however, if a purchase order covers multiple products and/or ongoing services, any Warranty Claim related to an individual product delivered or service completed prior to the Closing Date shall be subject to payment by Seller pursuant to thisSection 5.13. Buyer will provide to Seller prompt written notice of any Warranty Claims that Buyer could reasonably anticipate would likely result in Excess Warranty Costs, in each case (i) identifying the customer and the underlying Contract, (ii) providing a reasonably detailed description of the Warranty Claim and any investigation or other efforts by Buyer to determine the propriety of such claim, and (iii) if proper, the potential costs of such claim and the method by which Buyer will service such claim. Buyer will provide to Seller a monthly report detailing all Warranty Claims that are the subject of this section, including the status of the claim, the work performed and the costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall give AETI a reasonable opportunity to review any Warranty Claim prior to: (i) any work being conducted pursuant to any Warranty Claim if such work will Warranty Service Costs in excess of $50,000 for such Warranty Claim; (ii) any claim being offset against the deductible under the R&W Policy; or (iii) any other obligation to Buyer is triggered pursuant to this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Agreement, in no event shall Warranty Service Obligations include any services, repairs or other work in connection with the Excluded Warranty Claims, which shall be the sole obligation of Seller.

Section 5.14Accounts Receivable. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts (not including litigation or referral to a collection agency) to collect all Accounts Receivable in full consistent with Seller’s past practices as expressly set forth onSection 5.14 of the Disclosure Schedule. Buyer shall not make any claim alleging a breach of Section 3.27 regarding the collectability of Accounts Receivable until the amount of uncollected Accounts Receivable (as described inSection 3.27) exceeds the sum of the Accounts Receivable reserve reflected in the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement or the Post-Closing Working Capital Statement if the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement has not been finalized. The oldest uncollected Accounts Receivables shall count against the reserve until it is exhausted. After the reserve is exhausted, uncollected Accounts Receivable may be recovered through a claim under the R&W Policy or a claim under the Escrow Agreement. Further, the funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for purposes of this Section 5.14 may be distributed to Buyer for uncollected Accounts Receivable (as described in Section 3.27) up to the retention amount. No funds other than the $340,000 in the Escrow Account for such purpose shall be applied against the retention amount or disbursed in connection with any uncollected Accounts Receivable. Any remaining

Page 50

uncollected Accounts Receivable then counted against the retention amount under the R&W Policy shall be assigned to Seller at no cost. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless consistent with Seller’s past practices or unless applied against the reserve for Accounts Receivable reflected in the Conclusive Net Working Capital Statement, Buyer will not “mark-down,” settle, or negotiate any Accounts Receivable (in connection with making a claim alleging a breach of Section 3.27 regarding the collectability of Accounts Receivable) without the prior consent of AETI, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

In the event of the preceding (i), (ii) or (iii), the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party).

(c) From and after the date that the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance withSection 7.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such claim unless the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel chosen by it that there are one or more defenses available to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party cannot assert on behalf of the Indemnified Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party)); (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third

All notices of claims for indemnification hereunder by any Indemnified Party shall be made with reasonable particularity and shall state the amount of Damages sought thereunder, to the extent then known. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, except in the event of fraud or breach of Section 3.3(c), the Seller and its Affiliates shall have no liability for a breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller under this Agreement except to the extent liability under this Agreement is a condition to filing a claim under the R&W Policy. Except in the event of fraud or a breach of the representation and warranty set forth inSection 3.2(c), the sole recourse for any Buyer Indemnified Party for any breach of any such representation or warranty by Seller shall be to the R&W Policy. From and after the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates shall use good faith efforts to reasonably cooperate with any Buyer Indemnified Party and the issuer of the R&W Policy in connection with any claim made by any such party under the R&W Policy.
