If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Sellers shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the final and binding determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.4(b), pay to Buyers an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount.

6.14 Further Assurances; Transition Matters.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees, from time to time as and when requested by the other Party, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other appropriate actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. In further of the foregoing, as soon as practicable following the Closing, (i) GPEG C.V., represented by its general partner GPEG LLC, will transfer the shares in the capital of Global Power Netherlands to Innova Global Europe who shall accept such shares, free from any and all Encumbrances, by executing the deed of transfer of such shares, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Dutch Deed of Transfer”) (it being understood that such Dutch Deed of Transfer may be notarized on the Business Day immediately following the Closing Date); and (ii) Sellers shall deliver evidence of issuance of new stock certificates to replace the existing stock certificates of GPEG Hong Kong to the third party secretarial agent for GPEG Hong Kong.

(b) In order to effectively transition the business of GPEG Hong Kong and Braden China, the Parties have agreed that the directors, officers and/or authorized representatives for each of GPEG Hong Kong and Braden China as of the date of this Agreement (the “Authorized Persons”) shall continue to hold their respective positions post-Closing until the Dividend has been paid. In furtherance of the foregoing and in order to facilitate the payment of the Dividend, each of Buyers and Sellers shall, at the expense of Sellers, use its reasonable commercial efforts, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, from time to time as and when requested by the other Party, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, and to use its reasonable commercial efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary in order to cause (i) the Dividend to be paid as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and (ii) each of the Authorized Persons to resign from their respective positions at GPEG Hong Kong and Braden China as promptly as practicable following the date on which the Divided is paid. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyers shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, take any action post-Closing that would prevent, impede, delay or otherwise adversely impact the ability of Braden China and GPEG Hong Kong to make the Dividend payment, including but not limited to, changing any of the Authorized Persons prior the payment of the Dividend or making any filing with any Governmental Authority with respect to Braden China or GPEG Hong Kong that has the effect of preventing, impeding, delaying or adversely impacting the Dividend.

(c) Buyers further agree that to the extent that any of the Authorized Persons incur any Losses in connection with any such Authorized Person continuing to hold their respective positions at GPEG Hong Kong and/or Braden China, as applicable, from and after the Closing Date, then Buyers shall, to the extent such Losses result from events or circumstances arising after the Closing Date, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each such Authorized Person against, and reimburse such Authorized Person for, any and all Losses, including costs or expenses, and shall in any event promptly reimburse each such Authorized Person to the extent such Authorized Person incurs any Losses in connection with continuing to serve in his or her position, except in each case to the extent that such Losses are the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any of the Authorized Persons.

-37-

In the event that Buyers incur Losses as a result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any of the Authorized Persons after the Closing Date, then Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Buyers against, and reimburse such Buyer for, any and all Losses.

The Dividend and the amount paid pursuant to this Section 6.14(d) shall not be taken into account for the purposes of the Final Closing Statement so as to avoid duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount paid to the Sellers in respect of the Dividend and in respect of this Section 6.14(d) shall be net of any applicable taxes and withholdings to the extent that such amounts have not been previously paid by Sellers.

(e) All payments and reimbursements made after the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business by any third party in the name of or to any Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with or arising out of the business conducted by the Acquired Companies shall be held by Seller or its Affiliate, as applicable, in trust for the benefit of the Buyers and the Acquired Companies.

(a) Sellers shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods. In the case of any Taxes of the Acquired Companies that are payable with respect to any Taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income, receipts, or expenditures or (B) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer, or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer, or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, any transaction bonuses or other compensatory payments or payment obligations of the Acquired Companies to Employees or other Persons that will become due and payable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered to have been paid in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(b) Sellers shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and Buyers shall cause the Acquired Companies to timely file, all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing

-38-

Taxable Periods. Braden Manufacturing’s operations for the period January 1, 2017 through and including the Closing Date shall be reported on the 2017 consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return for the affiliated group for which the Acquired Companies are members during the period of January 1, 2017 through and including the Closing Date. Buyers shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and filed) Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Straddle Periods. For Tax Returns described in the preceding two (2) sentences, (i) each such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the prior Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies, except as required by applicable Law, and (ii) the preparing Party shall provide a copy of any such Tax Return to the other Party at least thirty (30) days before they are due, taking into consideration extensions of time to file, for the other Party’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Sellers and Buyers shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 6.15(b) prior to the due date for filing. If Sellers and Buyers are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return at least ten (10) prior to the due date for filing, such dispute shall be resolved by the Neutral Auditor. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyers, on the other. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, (i) such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner in which the party responsible for such Tax Return deems correct and (ii) upon resolution of such dispute by the Neutral Auditor, the parties agree to file amended Tax Returns reflecting such resolution. With respect to any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxable Periods, or with respect to any Straddle Period, Sellers shall be responsible for the Pre-Closing Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns and the Taxes properly allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (“Sellers’ Taxes”), to the extent not previously taken into account as a Current Liability in calculating the Final Working Capital. Buyers shall notify Sellers of the amount due in respect of any such Straddle Period Tax Return no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due. To the extent that the aggregate Sellers’ Taxes exceeds the amount of Taxes included as Current Liabilities in the calculation of Final Working Capital, Sellers shall promptly remit such excess to Buyers. To the extent that the amount of Taxes included as Current Liabilities in the calculation of Final Working Capital exceeds the aggregate Sellers’ Taxes, Buyers shall promptly remit such excess to Seller.

(c) Any refund of Taxes paid to any Acquired Company, any Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period or the portion of the Straddle Period for which Sellers are responsible for Taxes, other than a refund (i) attributable to a carryback of losses incurred in periods after the Closing or attributable to a carryforward of losses to a post-Closing period or (ii) included in the calculation of Final Working Capital, shall be for the benefit of Sellers and shall be paid to Sellers no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of payment by the applicable Acquired Company, Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates. Subject to Sellers’ responsibility to prepare Tax Returns pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6.15(b), Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including filing any necessary amendments of Tax Returns) to carryback any losses incurred during any Pre-Closing Taxable Period or portion of the Straddle Period for which Sellers are responsible to prior taxable periods, and to seek refunds in order to maximize the potential refunds of Taxes payable to Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.15(c). Except as contemplated by Section 6.14, Buyers shall not cause or permit any Acquired Company to make a dividend payment or other distribution before the end of the current taxable year that will cause an increase in the amount of Taxes for which Sellers are liable with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of the Straddle Period.

(d) Each of Sellers and Buyers shall provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by either of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the other with any records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, or proceedings. Such assistance shall include (i) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and

-39-

explanation of any material provided under this Section 6.15(d) and (ii) providing copies of any relevant Tax Return and supporting work schedules. The Party requesting assistance pursuant to this Section 6.15(d) shall reimburse the other Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.

(e) No Buyer nor any Acquired Company shall make any election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Whenever any taxing authority sends a notice of an audit, initiates an examination of any of the Acquired Companies, or other otherwise asserts a claim, makes an assessment, or disputes the amount of Taxes (each, a “Tax Contest”) for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period, Buyers shall promptly notify the Sellers, and the Sellers shall have the right to control any resulting proceedings and, subject to the immediately following sentence, to determine whether and when to settle any such Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Sellers shall keep Buyers apprised of all developments relating to any such Tax Contest and shall conduct the defense of any such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The Sellers shall not settle, compromise and/or concede a Tax Contest if such settlement, compromise and/or concession would have an adverse impact on Buyers or any Acquired Company for a Post-Closing Taxable Period (including the portion of a Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date), without the consent of Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any Tax Contest concerning the Acquired Companies with respect to any Straddle Period or Post-Closing Taxable Period, the Sellers shall promptly notify Buyers, and Buyers shall have the right to control any resulting proceedings and, subject to the immediately following sentence, to determine whether and when to settle any such Tax Contest; provided, however, in the case of a Tax Contest that relates to a Straddle Period, the Sellers shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at their own expense. Buyers shall not settle, compromise and/or concede a Tax Contest if such settlement, compromise and/or concession would have an adverse impact on the Sellers for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), without the consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a) For a period of seven (7) years commencing on the Closing Date, no Seller nor any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (each, a “Restricted Person,” and, collectively, the “Restricted Persons”) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in a Competing Business (as conducted at the Closing) in the countries in which the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, as of the Closing conduct a material amount of business (the “Territory”), (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in a Competing Business (as conducted at the Closing) in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, stockholder, member, agent, or consultant, or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Acquired Companies and customers or suppliers of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Restricted Persons may (A) own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if such Restricted Person is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such Person or (B) merge with or acquire any business in which the Competing Business (as conducted at the Closing) constitutes ten percent (10%) or less of the earnings, revenue, or assets of such business (or more

-40-

than ten percent (10%) so long as such Restricted Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to divest, as soon as reasonably practicable, its interest in such business relating to the Competing Business (as conducted at the Closing)).

(b) For a period of seven (7) years commencing on the date hereof, the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any customers of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing for purposes of diverting their business or services from the Acquired Companies.

(c) For a period of three (3) years commencing on the date hereof, the Restricted Persons shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit management-level Employees of any of the Acquired Companies as of immediately following the Closing; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) general solicitations of employment not specifically targeted to such Employees and any hiring resulting therefrom, (ii) solicitations of such Employees following termination of their employment by the applicable Acquired Company and any hiring resulting therefrom, or (iii) contacts by such Employees on their own initiative without any solicitation or encouragement from the Restricted Persons and any hiring resulting therefrom.

(d) If any Seller breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.16, Buyers shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyers under law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to Buyers and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy; and (ii) the right and remedy to recover from such Seller all monetary damages suffered by such Buyer as a result of any acts or omissions constituting a breach of this Section 6.16.

(e) Each Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.16 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyers and, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies and constitute a material inducement to Buyers to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.16 should be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.16 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.17 Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller fully releases, waives, acquits, and discharges forever, unconditionally and irrevocably, the Acquired Companies from, against, and with respect to any and all Losses that such Seller ever had, now has, or may hereafter have or acquire against any of the Acquired Companies for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever occurring on or prior to the Closing and relating to the Acquired Companies; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to, or restrict in any way, (a) Losses expressly contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, indemnification under Article VIII), (b) claims for indemnification or reimbursement under the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies as contemplated by Section 6.10, and (c) items set forth in Section 6.17 of the Disclosure Schedule.

6.18 Closing Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses. Prior to or on the Closing Date, each Seller shall satisfy all Closing Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses.

6.19 Release of Encumbrances; Letters of Credit.

(a) Each Seller shall coordinate with its lenders and any other secured party of the Acquired Companies (other than the parties to Contracts listed on Section 6.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and the parties to Contracts similar to such Contracts) so that at the Closing, such lenders and such secured parties, if any, will release all of their respective guarantees by and Encumbrances on the Acquired Companies and their respective assets and will execute and deliver to Sellers UCC-3 termination statements and any other documentation reasonably requested by Buyers evidencing the consent of such lenders and such secured parties, if any, to the sale of the Securities by Sellers and the release of all such guarantees by and Encumbrances on the Acquired Companies and their respective assets in their favor.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, subject to customer cooperation, Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate, or cause a Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Sellers and their respective Affiliates in respect of all obligations of Sellers and their respective Affiliates under any undrawn or uncalled guarantees, bonds or letters of credit relating to the business of Braden Europe, Braden USA or CFI. If Buyers are unable to replace such guarantees, bonds and letters of credit within 120 days following the Closing Date due to a lack of customer cooperation, then the Parties will in good faith discuss potential acceptable resolutions. From and after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Sellers, Buyers shall not, and shall not permit any of the Acquired Companies to, renew or extend the term of, increase its monetary obligations (or any other obligations for which Sellers might be liable) under, or transfer to a third party, any of the guarantees, bonds or letters of credit described in Section 6.19(b) of the Disclosure Schedule and for which any Seller is or may be liable unless all obligations of Sellers and are terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Sellers. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Buyers and their respective Affiliates in connection with the termination or substitution required by this Section 6.19(b). Buyers further agree that to the extent Sellers incur any Losses in connection with any such guarantee, bond or letter of credit on or after the Closing Date, Buyers shall, to the extent such Losses result from events or circumstances arising after the Closing Date, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers against, and reimburse Sellers for, any and all Losses, including costs or expenses in connection with such guarantees, bonds or letters of credit, including Sellers’ expenses in maintaining such guarantee, bond or letter of credit, whether or not any such guarantee, bond or letter of credit is drawn upon or required to be performed, and shall in any event promptly reimburse Sellers to the extent any guarantee, bond or letter of credit is called upon as a result of events or circumstances arising after the Closing Date and Sellers incur any Losses in connection with such guarantee, bond or letter of credit.

6.20 Pre-Closing Transactions. Prior to or at the Closing, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action to cause the pre-closing transactions listed on Section 6.20 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Pre-Closing Transactions”) to be completed.

6.21 Termination of Intercompany Accounts. Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, prior to or at the Closing, each Seller shall take all necessary action to cause all Contracts, Commitments, or transactions, including all amounts payable or receivable resulting therefrom, between any Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, to be satisfied as of the Closing; provided, however, that Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, shall be permitted to enter into Contracts, commitments, or transactions with one another following the Closing.

From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates (which shall include, following the Closing, each of the Acquired Companies) and each of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) in respect of any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, Proceedings, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses of whatever kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, or resulting from:

(b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of Sellers contained in this Agreement.

(a) a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyers contained in Article IV; or

(b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyers contained in this Agreement.

8.4 Matters Involving Third Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to a Third Party Claim that may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification against the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide a Claim for Indemnification to the Indemnifying Party. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to any such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim for Indemnification, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection therewith and the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne solely by the Indemnified Party.

-46-

If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Claim for Indemnification that it elects to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim or fails to defend in good faith such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, contest, settle, or compromise such Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to seek indemnity therefor pursuant to this Article VIII. Any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided that no such consent shall be required for any such settlement or compromise that (i) is exclusively monetary and will be paid by the Indemnifying Party (rather than the Indemnified Party), (ii) does not contain an admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, and (iii) will not have an adverse impact on Buyers’ ability to operate the business of the Acquired Companies in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(c) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and Buyers and Sellers (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and Buyers shall cause the Acquired Companies to) furnish such records, information, and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

8.5 Matters not Involving Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party may make a claim for any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim in any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article VIII by providing a Claim for Indemnification against the Indemnifying Party promptly after the Indemnified Party has notice of any Losses that may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days to object to the Claim for Indemnification by delivery of a written notice of such objection to the Indemnified Party. If an objection is delivered by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection prior to commencing any Proceeding with respect to such Claim for Indemnification.

8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right of Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification in respect of Losses under Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) Sellers shall have no liability to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) exceeds $216,250 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which case Buyer Indemnitees shall have the right to seek indemnification for Losses in excess of, but not including, the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(a)(i) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of Sellers’ Fundamental Representations and Warranties; and

(ii) in no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability pursuant to Section 8.2(a) exceed $10,000,000; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(a)(ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of Sellers’ Fundamental Representations and Warranties.

(b) The amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources (such as contribution agreements or contractual indemnities of

-47-

any Person that are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses and (ii) any Tax Benefits actually realized by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, with respect to such Losses. If an Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit or recovers any amount under insurance policies or from other collateral sources after an indemnification payment is made to him, her, or it pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit or recovered amount; provided that in no event shall the amount of such payment to the Indemnifying Party exceed the amount of such indemnification payment. The determination of any Losses pursuant to this subsection (b) shall reflect any increase in costs or liabilities associated with any mitigating actions taken under insurance policies.

(c) If any Losses result from any matter that resulted in a reduction in the Final Working Capital as determined pursuant to Section 2.4, then Buyer Indemnitees’ recovery under Section 8.2 in respect of such Losses shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction in the Final Working Capital.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in exchange for the retention of the deposits set forth on Section 1.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, Buyers hereby agree to assume any repairs required to be performed by the tenant under the Lease Agreement between GP East LLC, as lessor, and Braden Manufacturing, L.L.C., as lessee, dated as of December 22, 2016, as memorialized by a certain Memorandum of Lease dated December 22, 2016 and recorded on December 28, 2016 in Book 56530, Page 360 with the Worchester County Register, including, without limitation, the Initial Roof Repairs and the Future Roof Repairs, as such terms are defined therein. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Buyer Indemnitees shall not have any right to indemnification in respect of such repairs.

8.7 Special Indemnification by Sellers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII (including for certainty that the limitations in Section 8.6(a) shall not apply to the following), Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, or resulting from:

(a) any liquidated damages for which Braden USA is or may become liable in respect of any act or omission on or prior to the Closing Date;

(b) any and all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods; or

8.8 Exclusive Remedy; Waiver of Certain Damages. Except (a) in the case where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 6.16 or Section 10.11, (b) for the Purchase Price adjustment procedures set forth in Section 2.4, and (c) for claims arising out of fraud, from and after the Closing the rights of the Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties, and each Party waives all other remedies with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either Party be liable for special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, consequential or indirect damages, loss of future revenue or income, loss of reputation or opportunity, loss of goodwill, diminution in value, or other damages based on any type of multiple, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit a Party’s right to recover under this Article VIII for any such Losses to the extent that such Party is required to pay

-48-

such Losses to a third party in connection with a matter for which such Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII.

8.9 Mitigation. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Buyers shall (and shall cause the other Buyer Indemnitees to), and Sellers shall (and shall cause the other Seller Indemnitees to), use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses, including using commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any insurance policies that may be applicable to any Losses; provided that such Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a Claim for Indemnification under this Article VIII in respect of such Losses.

8.10 Adjustments to Purchase Price. All indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
