(c) Seller shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities under W.A.R.N. and each similar Legal Requirement with respect to employees by reason of their severance or other termination of employment by Seller on, prior to or following the Closing Date or the failure by Purchaser to hire any such employees on or after the Closing Date.

(d) Effective as of the Effective Time on the Closing Date (the “Termination Date”), Seller shall cause the employment of each employee of the Business identified on Schedule 10.3 (“Transferred Employee”) to be terminated. Purchaser shall offer employment to the Transferred Employees on terms and conditions determined by Purchaser, provided that the rate of salary of each Transferred Employee, other than Gold, shall be equal to the salary of such Transferred Person as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Purchaser from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee or changing the terms and conditions of employment of any Transferred Employee following such employee’s accepting employment with Purchaser as contemplated by this Section 10.3. Purchaser shall cause each employee benefit plan, including any welfare plan, of Aceto in which a Transferred Employee participates (i) to credit such Transferred Employee, for purposes of eligibility and vesting only, with their service to Seller as if it was service with Purchaser, (ii) with respect to welfare plans, to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements and (iii) with respect to welfare plans, to credit such Transferred Employee for any co-payments and deductibles paid before the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements in respect of the plan year during which the Closing occurs. Any Transferred Employee who has accrued but unused Paid Time Off Days as of the Closing Date shall be credited by Purchaser with up to a maximum of five (5) of the accrue d but unused Paid Time Off Days upon the Closing Date and such Paid Time Off shall be administered thereafter in accordance with Aceto’s policies, it being understood that Seller shall be responsible for any payments in respect of accrued but unused Paid Time Off Days in excess of five (5). The amount of Paid Time Off Days for each Transferred Employee is set forth in Schedule 10.3.

(e) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly ensure that each Transferred Employee who commences employment with Purchaser is eligible to participate in each employee benefit plan in which similarly situated employees of Aceto participate. With respect to each Transferred Employee who is currently covered by Seller’s medical plan, from the Closing Date until the effective date upon which such participation is available to such Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all amounts paid by Seller in connection with the provision of medical coverage, whether through direct participation in Sell er’s plan or as COBRA continuation coverage. Seller shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to prevent Purchaser from becoming a successor under COBRA.

10.4 Reserved.

10.5 Phone and Fax Numbers. Seller shall (and Shareholders shall cause Seller to) use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to Purchaser the phone and fax numbers identified on Schedule 10.5 attached hereto.

10.6 Customer and other Business Relationships. After the Closing, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Purchaser those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by Purchaser after the Closing, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others. Seller shall (and Shareholders shall cause Seller to) timely pay or perform when due the Retained Liabilities. Seller will (and Shareholder shall cause Seller to) to refer to Purchaser all inquiries related to such business.

10.7 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, (a) upon the request of Purchaser, each of Shareholders and Seller shall take all such further actions and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or desirable to convey and transfer to, and vest in, Purchaser, and to protect Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to, and enjoyment of, the Assets intended to be assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) the parties shall take all such f urther actions and execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

10.8 Power of Attorney. Without limitation of any provision of this Agreement, effective upon the Closing Date, Seller constitutes and appoints Purchaser and its successors and assigns, and each of them, as its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in their own names or in the name of Seller, but for their own benefit and at their own expense, (i) to institute and prosecute all Actions which any of them may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any Action, right or title of any kind in or to the Assets transferre d or intended to be transferred to Purchaser hereunder, and to do all such acts and things in relation thereto as any of them shall deem advisable, and (ii) to take all actions which they may deem proper in order to provide for them the benefits under any Actions, Contracts, Permits, Certifications, sales orders, or other documents or instruments transferred or intended to be transferred to Purchaser hereunder. Seller acknowledges that the foregoing powers are coupled with an interest and are not revocable in any manner or for any reason.

10.9 ISRA Compliance. To the extent unfulfilled by the ISRA Approval, Seller and/or Shareholders shall obtain a Response Action Outcome (as such term is defined under ISRA) as soon as practicable following Closing.

10.10 Books and Records. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to furnish to Seller and Shareholders such access, information and assistance as reasonably requested by Seller or a Shareholder in connection with (i) compliance by Seller or a Shareholder with any Legal Requirement applicable to Seller or such Shareholder, as the case may be, or (ii) any duty or activity contemplated to be performed by Seller or a Shareholder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any Transaction Document and Seller or Shareholder agrees to keep such information confidential.

11.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years (the “Survival Period”), with the exception of those set forth in Sections 3.10, 3.20, 3.22 and 3.34 which shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation periods and those set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.5 which shall survive the Closing for an indefinite period. Any Action relating to any such representation or warranty shall continue after the expiration o f the Survival Period until such Action is resolved and satisfied if the party entitled to such indemnification has provided to the party required to provide such indemnification prior to such expiration date a Claim Notice.

11.2 Indemnification.

11.2.1 General Indemnification Obligation of Seller and Shareholders. From and after the Closing, Seller and Shareholders shall jointly and severally, subject to Section 13.16, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, successors and assigns (an “Indemnified Purchaser Party”) against and in respect of any and all Actions, damages, losses, deficiencies, Liabilities, assessments, fines, costs and expenses, including court costs, costs and expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys fees (collectively, “Losses”), incu rred or suffered by any Indemnified Purchaser Party that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(a) any and all Retained Liabilities;

(b) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller and/or either and/or both Shareholders under this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document;

(c) any nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of Seller and/or either or both Shareholders under this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document; and

(d) any Liability under WARN, whether imposed on Seller or Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and/or by the Transaction Documents;

11.2.2 General Indemnification Obligation of Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser will reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, successors and assigns (an “Indemnified Seller Party”) against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Seller Party that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(a) the Assumed Obligations;

(b) any and all Actions against any Indemnified Seller Party that relate to the Assets or the Business which result from or arise out of any action or inaction after the Closing Date of Purchaser or any director, officer, employee, stockholder, agent or representative of Purchaser;

(c) any and all Liabilities relating to or arising out of product liability or similar Actions by Persons with respect to products manufactured and sold by Purchaser after the Closing Date; and

(d) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of Purchaser or Aceto under this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document.

11.2.3 Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) In the event that any Action for which Seller would be liable to an Indemnified Purchaser Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Purchaser Party by a third party, the Indemnified Purchaser Party shall notify Seller of such Action, specifying the nature of the Action and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the Action) (the “Claim Notice”). Each Shareholder and Seller shall (and Shareholders shall cause Seller to) thereupon, at his and/or its sole cost and expense, assume the control of the defense, settleme nt or compromise of the Action against the Indemnified Purchaser Party with counsel of Seller’s choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Purchaser Party. The failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not relieve Seller or Shareholders of its or his obligations hereunder, except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in any material prejudice to Seller in defense of the Action.

(b) Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Purchaser Party, consent to the entry of any judgment against the Indemnified Purchaser Party or enter into any settlement or compromise which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof (i.e., there being no requirement that the Indemnified Purchaser Party pay any amount of money or give any other consideration), the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Purchaser Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Purchaser Party, from all Liability in respect of the Action. If any Indemnified Purchaser Party desires to particip ate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Purchaser Party, (i) the use of counsel chosen by Seller would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Purchaser Party and Seller, and the Indemnified Purchaser Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to Seller, then, in each case, the Indemnified Purchaser Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any such Action or demand and its costs and expenses shall be included as part of the indemnification obligation of Seller and Shareholders hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Purchaser Party shall not settle any such Action without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably wi thheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Purchaser Party should elect to exercise such right, Seller shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of such Action at its sole cost and expense. If, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Purchaser Party, any Action, or the litigation or resolution of any Action, involves an issue or matter which could reasonably have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, properties or prospects of the Indemnified Purchaser Party or its Affiliates or Product Liability Lawsuit, then, in each case, the Indemnified Purchaser Party and Seller shall mutually control the defense or settlement of any such Action or demand and the Indemnified Purchaser Party’s costs and expenses shall be included as part of the indemnification obligation of Seller and Shareholders hereunder; provided, however, that the neither Party shall settle any such Act ion without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided that such settlement shall include, as an unconditional term thereof, the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Purchaser Party of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Purchaser Party, from all Liability in respect of the Action (i.e., there shall be no requirement that the Indemnified Purchaser Party pay any amount of money or give any other consideration).

(c) In the event an Indemnified Purchaser Party should have a Action against Seller and/or Shareholder hereunder that does not involve a Action being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third party, the Indemnified Purchaser Party shall send a Claim Notice with respect to such Action to Seller and/or Shareholders.

(d) All Action for indemnification by an Indemnified Seller Party under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved under the procedures set forth hereinabove by substituting in the appropriate place “Indemnified Seller Party” for “Indemnified Purchaser Party” and variations thereof and “Purchaser” for “Seller” and variations thereof as applicable.

11.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as to (i) matters which are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.2.1(b), (a) Seller and Shareholders shall not be liable unless and until the aggregate Losses to the Indemnified Purchaser Parties resulting from such otherwise indemnifiable matters; (and (ii) Retained Liabilities for trade payables which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and which do not, in each instance, exceed Twenty Five Thousand ($25,000) Dollars (“Ordinary Course Retained Liabilities”); shall exceed a cumulative aggregate of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand ($350,000) Dollars (the “Indemnification Threshold”) (with Seller and Shareholders being responsible for all Losses that exceed the Indemnification Threshold), and (b) the aggregate amount of any payments that shall be payable by Seller and Shareholder as a result of any Actions for indemnification made under Section 11.2.1(b) shall be limited to Three Million Five Hundred Thousand ($3,500,000) Dollars (the “General Maximum Limitation”); provided, however, that neither the Indemnification Threshold nor the General Maximum Limitation shall apply to (i) Actions for Losses relating to a breach of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.16(a), (ii) Actions for Losses relating to Retained Liabilities which are not Ordinary Course Retained Liabilities and/or under and/or relating to Section 11.2.1(d), or (iii) Actions for Losses relating to a breach o f any representation or warranty that was actually known to be false when made or for fraud; provided, further, that the General Maximum Limitation shall not apply to Ordinary Course Retained Liabilities. In the event that there has been any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement which is limited or qualified as to materiality or Seller Material Adverse Effect, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any limitation or qualification as to materiality or Seller Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of an indemnitor’s obligations (including for purposes of determining whether the amount of the indemnitor’s indemnification obligations exceed the Indemnification Threshold). For the avoidance of doubt, limitations or qualifications as to materiality or Seller Material Adverse Effect shall not be disregarded for purp oses of determining whether a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement has occurred.

11.4 Payment; Right of Setoff. Upon the determination of the Liability under this Article XI, the appropriate party shall pay to the other, within ten (10) days after such determination, the amount of any Action for indemnification made hereunder. Further, pending final determination of any Actions in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI, Purchaser shall have the right to withhold from and offset against any amounts due to Seller pursuant to this Agreement the amount, as reasonably determined by Purchaser, of such Actions provided su ch amounts are delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that Purchaser shall have the rights contemplated by this Section 11.4 pending the execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by each party thereto), and provided, further, that Purchaser shall provide to Seller written notice of any such amount prior to or contemporaneously with delivery of such amount to the Escrow Agent, which written notice shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the determination of such amount.

11.5 Guaranty. Aceto hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee Purchaser’s duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement, including this Article XI (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and shall be deemed to have made, and shall be jointly and severally liable for, all of the representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements of Purchaser contained herein. This Section 11.5 is an absolute, unconditional, continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection of the Guaranteed Obligations. Aceto waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar Legal Requirement now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. No notice to or demand on the Aceto shall be required for any payment to be due from Aceto hereunder. Until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, Aceto shall not attempt to collect any amounts from Purchaser whether by rights of subrogation or otherwise. If any Guaranteed Obligations are rescinded after receipt by Seller, the guarantee hereunder shall be automatically reinstated as if no such payments had ever been made.

11.6 Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Article XI shall be the exclusive remedy with respect to any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit hereto or any document delivered in connection herewith other than in the case of fraud or willful misconduct.

11.7 No Consequential Damages. The obligations of Seller in respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article XI shall not include any special, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, business interruption, or any punitive damages, other than in the case of fraud and willful misconduct.

ARTICLE XII

(c) by Seller, if any of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof shall not have been fulfilled on or prior to December 31, 2010 or shall have become incapable of fulfillment, in each case except as such shall have been the result, directly or indirectly, of any action or inaction by Seller and/or Shareholders and shall not have been waived; and

(d) Automatically, and without further action by any party hereto if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, 2010.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated as described above, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, without any Liability on the part of any of the parties except for any Liability which may arise as a result of a party’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or its failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby notwithstanding the satisfaction of its conditions to close. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.1(b), provided that the Financing Condition is the sole condition which has not been fulfilled, the damages sustained by Seller and Shareholders will not be readily ascertainable and, accordingly, the parties agree that the Termination Fee will be paid to Seller as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, and as the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and Shareholders, and Seller and Shareholders shall have no further Actions against Purchaser, Aceto and/or the Affiliates of either or both under or in connection with this Agreement.

12.2 Waiver. Any condition to the performance of the parties which legally may be waived on or prior to the Closing Date may be waived at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by an instrument in writing executed by the relevant party or parties. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement as a condition to such party’s obligations hereunder shall release or affect any Liability resulting from such breach, and no waiver of any nature, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII
