If the Parent Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then the Parent Buyer and Seller shall jointly submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to Rank’s Chief Financial Officer (the “Rank CFO”). The Rank CFO shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Seller and the Parent Buyer, and not by independent review, only those items still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The Rank CFO shall make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 2.4(d), and in no event shall the Rank CFO’s determination of the Unresolved Items be for an amount that is outside the range of the Parent Buyer’s and Seller’s disagreement. The Parent Buyer and Seller shall each use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Rank CFO such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Rank CFO may reasonably request. The determination of the Rank CFO shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Buyers and Seller absent manifest error, and Seller shall revise the Closing Statement to reflect such determination upon receipt thereof. The fees, expenses and costs of the Rank CFO shall be borne by the Parent Buyer and Seller in proportions inverse to the relative extent to which they prevail on matters resolved by the Rank CFO, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Rank CFO.

(e) Access to Information. The Buyers and Seller shall each use their reasonable best efforts to provide promptly to the other party all information and reasonable access to employees as such other party shall reasonably request in connection with review of the Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in good faith with such other party to arrive at a final determination of the Closing Statement.

(f) Adjustments.

(i)Net Cash Adjustment. Within five Business Days after the Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (b) or (d):

(A) if Closing Net Cash exceeds $17,000,000 (the “Net Cash Threshold Amount”), then, each Buyer shall pay to Seller such Buyer’s pro rata portion (determined in accordance with the allocations set forth on Annex II hereto (as to each Buyer, such Buyer’s “Pro Rata Portion”), of the amount equal to such excess; or

(B) if Closing Net Cash is less than the Net Cash Threshold Amount, Seller shall pay to each Buyer such Buyer’s Pro Rata Portion of the full amount of such deficit.

(ii)Net Working Capital Adjustment. Subject to Section 2.4(f)(ii)(C), within five Business Days after the Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (b) or (d):

(A) if the Closing Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, each Buyer shall pay to Seller such Buyer’s Pro Rata Portion of the full amount of such excess; or

(B) if the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, Seller shall pay to each Buyer such Buyer’s Pro Rata Portion of the full amount of such deficit.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(f)(ii), no adjustment shall be made to the Aggregate Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 2.4(f)(ii)(A) or 2.4(f)(ii)(B) and no payment shall be made unless such adjustment (whether an increase or a decrease) would exceed $10,000,000 (the “Net WC Threshold”), and if the adjustment would exceed the Net WC Threshold, then payment of the amount of the adjustment in excess of the Net WC Threshold shall be made.

2.5Withholding Taxes. The Buyers and any of their Affiliates will be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amounts that are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

8.2Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, and subject to this Article VIII, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer, their Affiliates, and, after the Closing, the Companies and the Companies’ Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any and all Losses resulting from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Article III of this Agreement (without giving effect to any Material Adverse Effect or materiality qualification contained therein except to the extent contained in Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12(c), 3.16(b), and 3.17) provided that no such inaccuracy or breach shall be deemed to exist for purposes of this Article VIII to the

extent such inaccuracy or breach is attributable to any facts or events occurring or existing prior to the Alcoa Closing Date, (b) any breach or default in performance by Seller (or, prior to the Closing, any Company or any Company Subsidiary) of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement or (c) any Pre-Closing Income Taxes to the extent, and only to the extent, that the aggregate amount of all Pre-Closing Income Taxes exceed $2,000,000.

8.3Indemnification by the Buyers. From and after the Closing, and subject to this Article VIII, the Buyers shall jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any and all Losses resulting from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyers in Article IV of this Agreement or (b) any breach or default in performance by the Buyers of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

8.4Limitations on Indemnity. The Buyers and Seller agree, for themselves and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees:

(a) No Buyer Indemnitee will assert any claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a): (i) in respect of any individual Loss incurred or suffered by such Buyer Indemnitee that is not in excess of $500,000 (a “Qualifying Loss”), and (ii) until such time as the aggregate of all Qualifying Losses that Buyer Indemnitees may have under Section 8.2(a) exceeds an amount equal to $5,000,000 (the amount referred to in this clause (ii), the “Indemnity Threshold”), and then only for the aggregate amount of all Qualifying Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold. The aggregate liability of Seller in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or (c) will not exceed an amount equal to $195,000,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Indemnity Threshold and the Cap will not apply to the obligations of Seller to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in connection with an inaccuracy in or breach of the representation and warranties contained in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.10 nor any claim as a result of a failure to satisfy the Final Closing Condition after the RCP New Indebtedness has been incurred by the relevant Companies’ Subsidiaries.

(b) No Seller Indemnitee will assert any claims for indemnification under Section 8.3(a): (i) in respect of any individual Loss incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnitee that is not a Qualifying Loss and (ii) until such time as the aggregate of all Qualifying Losses that Seller Indemnitees may have under Section 8.3(a) exceeds the Indemnity Threshold, and then only for the aggregate amount of all Qualifying Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold. The aggregate liability of the Buyers in respect of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) will not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Indemnity Threshold and the Cap and the other provisions of this Section 8.4 will not apply to the obligations of the Buyers to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in connection with an inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation.

(c) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, the amount of such Losses will be determined net of all related reserves accrued in respect of the specific matter subject to indemnification on the Closing Balance Sheet or reflected in the final Closing Net Working Capital Amount.

(d) With respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement: (i) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds; (ii) in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim; and (iii) the parties shall treat any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(e) If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party insurance coverage, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Insurance”). If the Indemnifying Party so requests within 180 days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds thereunder, in which event all such proceeds actually received, net of costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking such collection, shall be considered “Eligible Insurance Proceeds.” Any amount payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending any determination of Eligible Insurance Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person any Eligible Insurance Proceeds and/or any other amount in respect of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party has actually reimbursed it pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party such Eligible Insurance Proceeds and/or the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(f) Any Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses incurred by such party upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth herein, no indemnification claim may be asserted under this Agreement by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be (other than a claim for payment pursuant to Article II hereof), from and after the date on which all or a portion of the equity interests of Seller, any Buyer or any parent entity of Seller or any Buyer, is issued to or sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to any Person that is not controlled directly or indirectly by the Hart Group.

(h) If on the Closing Date, any Buyer knows of any information that would cause one or more of the representations and warranties made by Seller to be inaccurate as of the date made or as of the Closing Date, the Buyers shall have no right or remedy after the Closing with respect to such inaccuracy and shall be deemed to have waived its rights to indemnification in respect thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyers shall be charged with knowledge of any information contained in any data room or diligence report made available by or on behalf of Seller to the Buyers and all publicly disclosed information regarding the Business.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party to this Agreement for an amount in excess of the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be required to defend, indemnify or hold harmless any of the Buyer Indemnitees for any Losses relating to Taxes except pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

8.5Notification of Claims; Third Party Claims.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VIII, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third-Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand;provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The parties agree that (i) in this Article VIII they intend to shorten (in the case of the limited survival periods specified in Section 8.1) the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain claims, (ii) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (other than a post-Closing covenant) must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, (iii) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a post-Closing covenant must be delivered prior to the date that is six months after the last day of the effective period of such post-Closing covenant, (iv) any claims for Pre-Closing Income Taxes must be submitted by last day of the applicable statue of limitations, and (v) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived,provided that if, prior to such applicable date, a party shall have notified any other party in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.5 of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (whether or not formal legal action shall

have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.5(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within 20 Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party and so long as the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Claim);provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly assume the defense of such Third Party Claim following notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle or agree to pay in full such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party without prejudice to the ability of the Indemnified Party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably updated with respect to material developments relating to any Third Party Claim.

(c) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the conduct of the defense or any proposed settlement of any Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the Indemnified Party’s Tax

liability or the ability of any Company or any Company Subsidiary to conduct its business, or that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and control the defense, settlement, negotiation or Litigation relating to any such Third Party Claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party,provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any event, Seller and the Buyers shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article VIII and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

8.6Exclusive Remedy. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller and the Buyers hereby agree that following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be the indemnification rights set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing and the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII, (i) the Buyers hereby waive, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any Buyer Indemnitee may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, successors or assigns and (ii) Seller hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any Seller Indemnitee may have against any Buyer or any of their Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or representatives, successors or assigns, in either case to the extent such rights, claims and causes of actions arise under or are based upon any Federal, state, provincial, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise.
