Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 1.5(a), each Contract described inSection 1.1(f) shall be subject toSection 1.5(b) and shall not be subject to thisSection 1.5(a) or listed onSchedule 1.5(a), unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(i) No later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written notice specifying the Contracts described inSection 1.5(a) with respect to which Purchaser desires Seller’s assistance under thisSection 1.5(a) (the “Desired Split Contracts”).

(iii) With respect to each of the Desired Split Contracts listed inSchedule 8.3(e):

(A) Seller will use reasonable best efforts to cause the counterparty to each such Contract to enter into a new Contract with Purchaser at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expected Closing Date (for the purposes of thisSection 1.5(a), “reasonable best efforts” shall mean a substantially greater level of effort than Reasonable Best Efforts), to become effective as of the Closing Date (or, if necessary, after the Closing Date), on terms no less beneficial to Purchaser than the terms of the portion of the existing Contract of Seller and/or its Affiliates that relates to the Business.

(B) Beginning fifteen (15) days prior to the expected Closing Date, with respect to any Desired Split Contracts for which an agreement by the counterparty has not been obtained in accordance withSection 1.5(a)(iii)(A),(1) the parties shall mutually agree based on good faith discussions what further actions are necessary or appropriate with respect to such counterparty and (2) until the parties agree on such further actions, Seller shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to obtain such agreement from the applicable counterparty;

(iv) The parties shall promptly take all actions agreed to be taken pursuant toSection 1.5(a)(iii)(B).

(b)Non-Assignable Contracts.

(i) Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of (A) Contracts described inSection 1.1(f) that are not assignable without the consent of, or waiver by, a third party, either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable Law and (B) the Contracts set forth onSchedule 1.5(b) which, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to require consent for assignment from their respective counterparties (in the case of each of (A) and (B) of thisSection 1.5(b)(i), such consent or waiver, an “Assignment Consent”). If the parties disagree as to whether any Contracts described inSection 1.1(f) are assignable without the consent of, or waiver by, a third party, either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable Law, Purchaser shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to determine whether such Contracts shall be subject to thisSection 1.5(b).

(ii) With respect to each of the Contracts described inSection 1.5(b)(i) (other than the Contracts listed inSchedule 8.3(e) and Contracts with respect to which Seller receives a notice underSection 1.2(j)) that require or are deemed to require an Assignment Consent, Seller shall exercise Reasonable Best Efforts to obtain the required Assignment Consents prior to the Closing, or if necessary, after the Closing.

(iii) With respect to each of the Contracts listed inSchedule 8.3(e)(other than Contracts for which Seller receives a notice underSection 1.2(j)) that require or are deemed to require an Assignment Consent:

(A) Following Purchaser’s review of such Contracts, the parties will work together in good faith to reach agreement on an amended Schedule

8.3(e) (Schedule 8.3(e), as amended from time to time, shall be referred to as the “Amended Schedule 8.3(e)”), based on (1) the materiality of such Contracts to the Business, (2) the need to obtain an Assignment Consent for such Contracts and (3) any other factors on which the parties may agree.

(B) With respect to each of the Contracts listed in the Amended Schedule 8.3(e), Seller will use reasonable best efforts to obtain Consent from the applicable counterparty at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expected Closing Date (for the purposes of thisSection 1.5(b), “reasonable best efforts” shall mean a substantially greater level of effort than Reasonable Best Efforts);

(C) With respect to any Contracts listed in the Amended Schedule 8.3(e) for which Seller has not obtained Consent by fifteen (15) days prior to the expected Closing Date (1) the parties shall mutually agree based on good faith discussions what further actions are necessary or appropriate with respect to such counterparty and (2) until the parties agree on such further actions, Seller shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to obtain Consent from the applicable counterparty;

(D) The parties shall promptly take all actions agreed to be taken pursuant toSection 1.5(b)(iii)(C).

(c)Comparable Arrangements. In the event that Seller is not able to cause a counterparty to enter into a new Contract pursuant toSection 1.5(a)prior to the Closing despite Seller’s compliance withSection 1.5(a), or Seller is unable to obtain an Assignment Consent prior to the Closing despite Seller’s compliance withSection 1.5(b), such Contract shall not constitute a Purchased Asset and Seller shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to assist and cooperate with Purchaser to enter into a reasonably acceptable arrangement whereby Purchaser would continue to enjoy substantially comparable benefits under such Contract related to the Business on the same or substantially similar terms and conditions for a period of at least one (1) year after the Closing, except to the extent a shorter period is prescribed in the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in thisSection 1.5(c)will (i) require Seller to breach any such Contract or (ii) affect Purchaser’s rights underSection 8.3(e).

ARTICLE II

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in full consideration of the aforesaid sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and assumption of the Assumed

Liabilities, Purchaser shall pay to Seller at the Closing an aggregate of JPY One Billion, Nine Hundred Million (¥1,900,000,000) (the “Initial Amount”), as adjusted pursuant toSection 2.2(a) (the “Closing Date Payment”). The Closing Date Payment is subject to further adjustment following the Closing pursuant toSection 2.2(b). The Closing Date Payment as adjusted pursuant to the terms ofSection 2.2(b) shall be the “Business Purchase Price”.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 2.1(b), as security for the indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, at the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a portion of the Closing Date Payment otherwise deliverable pursuant toSection 2.1(b) equal to JPY One Hundred Ninety Million (¥190,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”), which Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto asExhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting Seller’s liability to Purchaser to the Escrow Amount, nor shall payments from the Escrow Amount be considered as liquidated damages for any breach under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 2.2Adjustment to Business Purchase Price.

(a)Closing Date Business Purchase Price Adjustment. Within fifteen (15) days following the date hereof, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth the Specified Net Assets as of the Carve-Out Balance Sheet Date (the “Carve-Out Balance Sheet Specified Net Assets”), together with reasonably supporting documentation. To the extent the Carve-Out Balance Sheet Specified Net Assets exceed the Initial Benchmark Specified Net Assets, Purchaser shall add such difference to the Initial Amount paid at the Closing. To the extent the Carve-out Balance Sheet Specified Net Assets are less than the Initial Benchmark Specified Net Assets, Purchaser shall deduct such difference from the Initial Amount paid at the Closing.

(b)Post-Closing Date Business Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Within seventy-five (75) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a calculation of the Specified Net Assets as of March 31, 2012 (the “Benchmark Date”) and the Specified Net Assets as of the Closing Date, in each case together with reasonably supporting documentation (collectevely, the “Specified Net Assets Statement”). The Specified Net Assets Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set forth onSchedule 2.2 and, to the extent not inconsistent with such principles, in accordance with GAAP. During Purchaser’s preparation of the Specified Net Assets Statement, Seller shall provide Purchaser and its representatives with reasonable access to the books and records, facilities and employees of Seller and to the working papers and other records of Seller and its accountants used in the preparation of the Carve-Out Financial Statements andExhibit M, and cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(ii) Seller shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the Specified Net Assets Statement to review the Specified Net Assets Statement and to respond to Purchaser pursuant toSection 2.2(b)(iii) below. During Seller’s review of the Specified Net Assets Statement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its representatives to, provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access to the books and records, facilities and employees of Purchaser and to the working papers and other records of Purchaser and its accountants used in the preparation of the Specified Net Assets Statement, and cooperate with Seller and its representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information reasonably requested by Seller.

(iii) Within sixty (60) days from the date of its receipt of the Specified Net Assets Statement, Seller may either: (A) agree with the calculations of Specified Net Assets by delivering to Purchaser a written notice of such agreement or (B) dispute any or all of the calculations of Specified Net Assets by delivering to Purchaser a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item. All other items and amounts in the Specified Net Assets Statement shall be deemed to be final and conclusive and agreed among the parties. If Seller fails to take either of the foregoing actions within sixty (60) days from the date of its receipt of the Specified Net Assets Statement, then Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and approved Purchaser’s calculation of Specified Net Assets.

(iv) If Seller timely delivers a Dispute Notice, then Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days following the day it receives the Dispute Notice to respond to Seller by delivering a response in writing to Seller (a “Response”). If Purchaser so delivers a Response that disputes any amounts in the Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith, for a period of thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of the Response, to resolve any differences it may have with respect to any remaining matters specified in the Dispute Notice, which resolution shall be reduced to a mutually signed writing. If Purchaser and Seller do not resolve all disputed items during such 30-day period, then Purchaser and Seller shall submit the remaining items in dispute to a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized international standing, which firm is not KPMG or the regular auditing firm of Purchaser, Seller or their respective Affiliates. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to jointly select such independent accounting firm within ten (10) days thereafter, either of Purchaser or Seller may apply to the International Chamber of Commerce Center for Expertise to appoint an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing, which firm is not KPMG or the regular auditing firm of Purchaser, Seller or their respective Affiliates (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) and shall notify the other party in writing within one (1) Business Day of making such application.

(v) The Independent Accounting Firm shall render its determination on a basis in accordance with the principles set forth onSchedule 2.2 and, to the extent not inconsistent with such principles, in accordance with GAAP. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only render its determination with respect to the specific remaining accounting differences submitted to it and may rely only upon information submitted to it by or on behalf of Purchaser or Seller. Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the items in

dispute in a written report in English that specifies the conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each item in dispute. Purchaser and Seller shall each use their Reasonable Best Efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) days after referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of any adjustments to the items in dispute as set forth in its report shall be final and binding on the parties, save in the event of fraud by the Independent Accounting Firm, and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

(vi) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be shared by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the aggregate disputed amount determined to be for the account of Purchaser and Seller, respectively. For example, should the items in dispute total an amount equal to ¥10 million and the Independent Accounting Firm awards ¥6 million in favor of Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by Seller.

(vii) For purposes of complying with thisSection 2.2, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such documents and information relating to the disputed items as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request and are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the Independent Accounting Firm, with any such presentation or discussion to be in the presence of both Seller and Purchaser or their respective Representatives.

(c) The “Final Statement of Specified Net Assets” will be the calculation of the Specified Net Assets contained (A) in the Specified Net Assets Statement in the event that (x) no Dispute Notice is delivered by Seller to Purchaser within the 60-day period specified above or (y) Seller and Purchaser so agree, (B) in the Specified Net Assets Statement, as adjusted in accordance with the Dispute Notice, in the event that (x) Purchaser does not deliver a Response to the Dispute Notice during the 30-day period specified above following receipt by Purchaser of a Dispute Notice or (y) Seller and Purchaser so agree or (C) in the Specified Net Assets Statement, as adjusted pursuant to the mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser, or as adjusted by the Independent Accounting Firm, together with any other modifications to the Specified Net Assets Statement mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.

(d) If the Specified Net Assets as of the Closing Date contained in the Final Statement of Specified Net Assets exceed the Specified Net Assets as of the Benchmark Date contained in the Final Statement of Specified Net Assets (after adjusting as appropriate for any addition or deduction from the Initial Amount paid at the Closing pursuant toSection 2.2(a)) by more than JPY One Hundred Thousand (¥100,000), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount in cash in JPY equal to the amount of such excess. If, by contrast, the Specified Net Assets as of the Benchmark Date contained in the Final Statement of Specified Net Assets exceed the Specified Net Assets as of the Closing Date contained in the Final Statement of Specified Net Assets

(after adjusting as appropriate for any addition or deduction from the Initial Amount paid at the Closing pursuant toSection 2.2(a)) by more than JPY One Hundred Thousand (¥100,000), Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount in cash in JPY equal to the amount of such excess. All payments made pursuant to thisSection 2.2 shall be made to the applicable parties by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds in JPY within fifteen (15) Business Days after the ultimate determination of the Final Statement of Specified Net Assets.

Section 2.3Allocation of Purchase Price. As soon as practicable after the applicable party has received any adjustment pursuant toSection 2.2(d), Seller shall provide to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval a proposed allocation of the Business Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant toSection 2.2, among the various classes of Purchased Assets prepared in accordance with applicable Law and subject to completion of necessary third-party valuations, which shall commence promptly after the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and approval a proposed allocation of the purchase price for the Transferred Real Property under the Real Property Purchase Agreement among the land, buildings and structures, and other items. Purchaser shall (a) promptly after receipt of Seller’s proposed valuations, provide such proposed valuations to Purchaser’s and Parent’s auditors and representatives who conduct third-party valuations of the Purchased Assets and the Transferred Real Property (as applicable), for their consideration in determining the final allocation of the Business Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant toSection 2.2 and the purchase price for the Transferred Real Property (as applicable), and (b) in the event that such auditors or representatives disagree with Seller’s proposed valuations of the Transferred Real Property or certain classes of Purchased Assets (as applicable), afford Seller reasonable opportunity to discuss such differences with, and provide information to, such auditors or representatives. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall (i) timely file all forms and Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with such final allocations, (ii) be bound by such final allocations for purposes of determining Taxes, (iii) prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such final allocations and (iv) take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with such final allocations on any applicable Tax Return, in any audit or proceeding before any taxing authority, in any report made for Tax, financial accounting or any other purposes, or otherwise. In the event that any of the purchase price allocations determined pursuant to thisSection 2.3are disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto concerning the existence and resolution of such dispute.

Section 5.5Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) True and complete copies of (i) the audited balance sheets of Seller as at March 31 in each of the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, together with statements of income and shareholders’ equity for each of the years then ended, all certified by Seller’s independent certified public accountants, whose reports thereon are included therein, (ii) an unaudited balance sheet of Seller as at September 30, 2012 and unaudited statements of income for the six (6) month period then ended and (iii) an unaudited pro forma carve-out balance sheets of the Business as at March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and as at September 30, 2012, substantially in the form set forth onExhibit C (such balance sheet as at September 30, 2012, the “Carve-Out Balance Sheet”), and (iv) unaudited pro forma statements of income of the Business for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and for the six (6) months ended September 30, 2012 (together with the Carve-Out Balance Sheet, the “Carve-Out Financial Statements”), are included in Section 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the financial statements described in thisSection 5.5(a), collectively, the “Financial Statements”).

The Carve-Out Financial Statements are qualified by the

fact that the Business has not been operated as a separate “stand-alone” entity within Seller. As a result, the Business receives certain allocated charges and credits as discussed more fully in the notes accompanying the Carve-Out Financial Statements.

The statements of income included in the Carve-Out Financial Statements do not contain any items of special or non-recurring income, except as expressly specified therein, and the Carve-Out Balance Sheet does not reflect any write-up or reevaluation increasing the book value of any assets (including the Purchased Assets).

All Inventory not written off has been priced at the lower of average cost or market. Work in process, and finished goods Inventory held by Seller and Seller’s Affiliates (with respect to the Business) is free of any material deficiency.

(d) Except (i) as disclosed as a liability in the Carve-Out Financial Statements, and (ii) for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice since the Carve-Out Balance Sheet Date and, if incurred since the date hereof, not in violation ofSection 7.1, Seller (with respect to the Business) has no material liability or obligation of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, that will be assumed by Purchaser (or for which Purchaser will otherwise be liable) pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. The reserves reflected in the Carve-Out Financial Statements are adequate, appropriate and reasonable under JGAAP and have been calculated in a consistent manner and in accordance with JGAAP. Seller has no Indebtedness with respect to the Business except as set forth onSchedule 1.3(a).

The waiver of any condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Transactions, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, obligation or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Purchaser Losses, Tax Claims, Environmental Indemnity Claims, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement.

Article 2: (Purchase Proceeds)

The purchase proceeds for the property are to be the property base amount stated in (1) below plus the accumulated total of the property base amount addition (consumption tax and local consumption tax separate; hereinafter referred to as “the purchase proceeds”). The breakdown of the purchase proceeds is to be determined in this Agreement and Plan of Demerger (hereinafter referred to as “the Final Agreement”) to be concluded between Seller and Purchaser on the same date as this Agreement.

1,400,000,000 yen (hereinafter referred to as “the property base amount”)

Based on the balance (the amount that has not been repaid on each payment date) of the property base amount at each payment date stipulated in Article 3-1 (or the applicable payment before term date when payment before term date is conducted in accordance with Article 3-2), the accumulated total calculated as 1.5% on an annual basis (with one year calculated as 365 days) of the amount on each payment date (hereinafter referred to as “the property base amount addition”), calculating from the most recent payment date before the applicable payment date.

The transaction of the real property by the parties to this Agreement shall be based on the area stated in Attachment 1 concerning the real property, and Seller and Purchaser agree not to request a change in the purchase proceeds unless, upon conducting actual measurements, Purchaser finds the measured area to be significantly different from the area stated in the register.

Accepted Matters

Article 12-10 Underground Obstacles

•

There are well, waste, sewage, and rain water piping systems (underground obstacles) at the following location at the property.

Article 12-13 Soil Contamination

At the factory in Hachioji owned by Seller, soil contamination that was caused by the business activities of Seller after acquisition has been discovered. Separate explanations are provided below for the land at the Hachioji factory, the adjacent land on the west, and the adjacent land on the north.

1.	Hexavalent chrome at the adjacent land on the west

•

At Building 4 on the adjacent land on the west, hexavalent chrome was used in the manufacturing process. After hexavalent chrome contamination was discovered in the soil adjacent to Building 4 in 1978, measures were taken to contain the soil contamination (containment bit A and B in the layout plan below). As a voluntary measure in 2012, the contaminated soil that was contained was fully removed through excavation and removal.

2.	Trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, fluorine, and lead at the adjacent land on the west

•

At the adjacent land on the west owned by Seller, the results of a soil survey based on the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act Article 3 and 4 conducted from 2010 to 2011 as part of a voluntary overhaul conducted by Seller revealed non-conforming soil contamination. The contamination consisted of class 1 specified toxic substances trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, and the class 2 specified toxic substances fluorine and lead. These substances were discovered at the 13 locations in the layout plan below.

Contamination was discovered at 13 locations:

The locations containing trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and fluorine were designated as areas requiring improvement measures in the Hachioji-shi Public Notice 269 released on July 20, 2011. On the same day Hachioji-shi issued the Instruction on Measures for Removal of Contamination in the Areas Designated as Requiring Improvement to Seller. As a result of the removal of soil contamination in accordance with these instructions, five of the nine locations designated as areas requiring improvement were removed from this designation through the Hachioji-shi Public Notice 232 released on September 21, 2012. Measures have been completed for the remaining four locations, and it is expected that the designation will be removed.

•

For lead, designation of areas requiring notification for changes of land character was made through the Hachioji-shi Public Notice 270 released on July 7, 2011. However, as a result of soil contamination removal that was conducted afterwards, designation was removed for all four locations that had been designated through the Hachioji-shi Public Notice 233 released on September 21, 2012.

3.	Fluorine at the adjacent land on the north

•

During March 2011 a soil survey in accordance with the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act was conducted on the property and the adjacent land on the north owned by Seller within an identifiable range excluding areas beneath buildings. As a result, non-conforming pollution was discovered. The contamination consisted of the class 2 specified toxic substance fluorine. This substance was discovered at the 5 locations in the layout plan below.

•

Because the class 2 specified toxic substance fluorine was discovered, it is expected that the areas will be designated as areas requiring improvement measures in accordance with the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act and that at the time of designation, improvement instructions will be issued to the landowner.

Article 12-14 Use of Hazardous Substances

•

Asbestos is used in construction materials of some areas on the property and adjacent land.

Machine room wall (the property, adjacent land), gas storage area wall (adjacent land), prototype building boiler room chimney (adjacent land), P tile (adjacent land), baseboard (adjacent land), corrugated wall (adjacent land), etc.

•

Electric equipment that uses polychlorinated biphenyl as an insulating oil have been used and stored on the property and adjacent land.

If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to the Escrow Agent by 5:00 pm New York time on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following receipt of a Notice of Claim, then Seller shall be deemed to have acknowledged the correctness of such assertion for the full amount thereof as specified in such Notice of Claim and, upon receipt of written instructions executed by Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), deliver to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser, only to the extent of the remaining amount of the Escrow Property, the amount specified in such Notice of Claim.

(ii) Promptly upon receipt of a Dispute Notice (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Purchaser and Seller shall jointly deliver an instrument to the Escrow Agent containing instructions with respect to the release to Purchaser of such portion of the Escrow Property that is equal to the amount, if any, of the Indemnity Claim which is not disputed by Seller, and the Escrow Agent shall not distribute the amount of the Indemnity Claim which is disputed by Seller (the “Disputed Amount”). The Escrow Agent shall, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), deliver to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser, only to the extent of the remaining amount of the Escrow Property, the amount specified in such instructions.

(iii) Subject to Sections 9 – 11, the Interested Parties agree that all disputes that may arise under this Escrow Agreement between the Interested Parties with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession, and/or disposition of the Escrow Property or any portion thereof (including any Disputed Amount), shall be settled as between the Interested Parties either by (A) mutual agreement of the Interested Parties (evidenced by appropriate instructions in writing to the Escrow Agent, signed by both Interested Parties) (each a “Joint Agreement”) or (B) by final order, decree or judgment obtained in accordance with Section [12.8] of the Demerger Agreement, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal (each a “Final Order”). Upon receipt of a Joint Agreement

or Final Order to the effect that Purchaser is entitled to payment out of the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall deliver as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), to an account or accounts designated in writing by Purchaser, only to the extent of the remaining amount of the Escrow Property, the amount specified in such Final Order or Joint Agreement. The parties hereto agree that with respect to any order, judgment or decree received by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent (i) shall not be required to determine whether or not such order, judgment or decree is a Final Order within the foregoing definition and shall rely on the representation of any party hereto that an order judgment or decree that it is presenting to the Escrow Agent is a Final Order and (ii) shall conclusively presume that any such order, judgment or decree received by it has been obtained in accordance with Section [12.8] of the Demerger Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the Escrow Distribution Date, upon receipt of written instructions jointly executed by Seller and Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in such joint written instructions, the remaining amount of the Escrow Property (the “Final Distribution Amount”),provided, however, that if, prior to the Escrow Distribution Date, Purchaser shall have given notice to the Escrow Agent of any Indemnity Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3, and such claim or claims remain unpaid or in dispute as of the Escrow Distribution Date (“Open Claims”), the Final Distribution Amount shall be equal to the Final Distribution Amount less the aggregate amount of the Open Claims. The Final Distribution Amount to be distributed in accordance with this Section 3(b) shall be set forth in the written instructions delivered by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3(b). Upon resolution in favor of Seller, if any, as to the Open Claims, or any portion thereof, the Escrow Agent shall distribute as soon as practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter) the amount representing the resolved portion of the Open Claims upon receipt of written instructions delivered by Seller and Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3(b).

Section 4.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall have no more or less responsibility or liability on account of any action or omission of any book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent employed by the Escrow Agent than any such book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent has to the Escrow Agent, except to the extent that such action or omission of any book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent was caused by the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of this Agreement.

The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have and is hereby granted a possessory lien on and security interest in the Escrow Property, and all proceeds thereof, to secure payment of all amounts owing to it from time to time hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising.

The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The Parties each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.
