RECITALS

A.On January 7, 2014, Seller and MEP entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).

B.On January 31, 2014, MEP assigned all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement to M4, provided that such assignment did not release MEP from its obligations thereunder.

C.The Purchase Agreement provides for, among other things, the purchase by Buyer and the Buying Affiliates of the Purchased Assets from Seller and the Selling Affiliates and the assumption by Buyer and the Buying Affiliates of the Assumed Liabilities from Seller and the Selling Affiliates.

D.The Purchase Agreement contemplates that the closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities would occur at a single closing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

E.The Parties desire to amend the Purchase Agreement to provide for multiple closings, based on the jurisdiction in which the relevant Purchased Assets are located, and to make certain other changes to the Purchase Agreement as are set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.Buyer.  The Parties agree that M4 shall be deemed to be the “Buyer”, as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, for all purposes hereunder and thereunder, and further acknowledge and agree that MEP’s assignment of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement did not release MEP from its obligations thereunder (as amended hereby).

2.Amendment to Section 2.6.  Section 2.6 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

“2.6Closing Transactions.

(a)Multiple Closings.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will occur at multiple closings as described below, with each such closing constituting a separate transaction for all purposes hereunder.

(i)Initial Closing.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, an initial closing (the “Closing”) will occur on January 31, 2014, in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands (each, an “Initial Closing Jurisdiction”).  The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.  At the Closing,  Buyer or its designated Buying Affiliates will purchase from Seller and the Selling Affiliates all of the Purchased Assets of each Business Unit located in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands.

(ii)Subsequent Closing.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Section 3.4, one or more additional closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) in the jurisdictions other than the Initial Closing Jurisdictions (such other jurisdictions, the “Subsequent Closing Jurisdictions”) will occur as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, at such dates and times as are agreed by the Parties.  The date on which each Subsequent Closing occurs is referred to as the “Subsequent Closing Date”. The term “Closing Jurisdiction” refers to each of the Initial Closing Jurisdictions and each of the Subsequent Closing Jurisdictions.

(iii)Transfer of Purchased Assets.   At the Closing, in the case of the Initial Closing Jurisdictions, and at the applicable Subsequent Closing,  in the case of each Subsequent Closing Jurisdiction, Buyer and its designated Buying Affiliates will purchase from Seller and the Selling Affiliates, and Seller and the Selling Affiliates will transfer to Buyer and its designated Buying Affiliates all of their right, title and interest in and to, all of the Purchased Assets of each Business Unit located in the applicable Closing Jurisdiction.  For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing, legal title to Purchased Assets located in a particular Closing Jurisdiction will not be deemed purchased by Buyer or its designated Buying Affiliates, and will not be deemed transferred or sold by Seller and the Selling Affiliates, until the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Closing Jurisdictions, or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, in the case of each Subsequent Closing Jurisdiction.  Purchased Contracts to which a Selling Affiliate is a party will be deemed to be located in the jurisdiction in which the Selling Affiliate is organized and has its operations; provided, that, if Seller and one or more Selling Affiliates, or one or more Selling Affiliates, are party to a particular Purchased Contract, (x) the Purchased Contract will be deemed to be a separate Contract of Seller, if applicable, and each such Selling Affiliate, (y) the rights, title and interest of Seller under such Purchased Contract, if applicable, will be deemed located in the United States and transferred at the Initial Closing, and (z) the rights, title and interest of each such Selling Affiliate under such Purchased Contract will be deemed to be located in the jurisdiction in which the Selling Affiliate is organized and has its operations and, subject to Section 2.7, will transfer at the Closing, in the case of Purchased Contracts located in the Initial Closing Jurisdictions, and at the applicable Subsequent Closing, in the case of each Subsequent Closing Jurisdiction.

(iv)Scheduled Employees. In jurisdictions where local law provides for automatic transfer of employment (“TUPE countries”) the Scheduled Employees will transfer to the Buyer or its applicable designated Buying Affiliate, unless any such Scheduled Employee objects to the transfer of his or her employment in accordance with local law or terminates his or her employment prior to local Closing, and in all other jurisdictions (“Non-TUPE countries”) the Scheduled Employees who accept offers of employment from Buyer or its applicable designated Buying Affiliate will commence employment with Buyer or such Buying Affiliate as follows:

(1)for Scheduled Employees located in the Netherlands, on February 1, 2014;

(2)for Scheduled Employees located in the United States and Canada, on March 1, 2014; and

(3)for Scheduled Employees located in the Subsequent Closing Jurisdictions, on the applicable Subsequent Closing Date for each such jurisdiction.

The date on which a particular Scheduled Employee transfers in TUPE countries or commences employment in Non-TUPE countries, respectively, in accordance with (1), (2) or (3) above is referred to as the “Employment Commencement Date” for such Scheduled Employee. Seller and Buyer shall immediately notify each other of any objection to the transfer of employment, or local equivalent, either may receive from any Scheduled Employee in TUPE countries.

(b)Location of Closing.  The Closing and each Subsequent Closing shall take place at the offices of Dykema Gossett PLLC, 400 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, commencing at 9:00 a.m. New York Time on the Closing Date, in the case of the Closing, or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, in the case of each Subsequent Closing, or at such other place (which may include conducting the Closing remotely through the electronic exchange of documents or in foreign jurisdictions if required or advisable under applicable foreign law) or on such other date and time as may be mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller.  Seller and Buyer agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur on January 31, 2014 and the Subsequent Closings on or before March 31, 2014 or as promptly as practicable thereafter.  In furtherance of, and without limiting the foregoing, Buyer hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause Subsequent Closing(s) to occur in as many Subsequent Closing Jurisdictions, and with respect to the substantial portion of the remaining Purchased Assets, as is reasonably practicable on or prior to March 31, 2014, and to provide regular updates to Seller regarding the status and anticipated timing of such Subsequent Closings.

(c)Closing Transactions.

(i)As to the Closing, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(d) and Section 9.4 and the other conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall consummate the following transactions on the Closing Date:

   (1)(A) Buyer (or its designee(s)) shall deliver an aggregate amount equal to the Cash Closing Payment to Seller and the Selling Affiliates in exchange for (x) the transfer to Buyer (or its designee(s)) by Seller and the Selling Affiliates of the Purchased Assets that are to be purchased by Buyer (or a Buying Affiliate) on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(iii) and (y) Seller’s undertaking in Section 2.6(a)(iii) to transfer, and to cause its Selling Affiliates to transfer, the Purchased Assets to be purchased by Buyer (or its designee(s)) at each Subsequent Closing and (B) Buyer (or its designee(s)) shall assume the Assumed Liabilities that are to be assumed by Buyer (or its designee(s)) at the Closing in accordance with Section 2.2; and

   (2)The Parties shall deliver the certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered by or on behalf of such Person under Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

(ii)As to each Subsequent Closing, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(d) and Section 9.4 and the other conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall consummate the following transactions on the applicable Subsequent Closing Date:

   (1)(A) Seller and the Selling Affiliates shall transfer to Buyer (or its designee(s)) the Purchased Assets that are to be purchased by Buyer (or its designee(s)) at such Subsequent Closing, (B) Seller shall cause the applicable portion of the Closing Cash Payment that was paid at the Closing to be delivered or otherwise allocated to the Selling Affiliates who are transferring Purchased Assets to Buyer (or its designee(s)) in the Subsequent Closing in accordance with the Allocation Schedule and (C) Buyer (or its designee(s)) shall assume the Assumed Liabilities that are to be assumed by Buyer (or its designee(s)) at the Subsequent Closing in accordance with Section 2.2.

   (2)The Parties shall deliver the certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered by or on behalf of such Person under Section 3.4.

(d)Affiliate Assets.  The sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Affiliate Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Affiliate Assumed Liabilities of each Selling Affiliate by Buyer or a Buying Affiliate will be consummated at the Closing, in the case of the Initial Closing Jurisdictions, or at the applicable Subsequent Closing, in the case of each Subsequent Closing Jurisdiction, hereunder and will be effected pursuant to a short-form asset purchase agreement, to be mutually agreed to by the Parties and consistent with the general terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (each, an “Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement”) on a country-by-country basis (or otherwise for certain transfers of Intellectual Property, Purchased Contracts or any other Purchased Asset or item thereof) as designated by Buyer.  Each Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement shall be in substantially the same form as the form of Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, except (as Buyer and Seller shall reasonably agree) for (i) the deletion of provisions which are inapplicable to such Selling Affiliate or Buying Affiliate, the Affiliate Purchased Assets or the Affiliate Assumed Liabilities covered by such agreement, (ii) such changes as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of applicable local law (including any applicable Tax laws) (e.g. translation into local language or execution of a notarial deed instead of the Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement), (iii) such changes as may be reasonably agreed upon by Buyer and Seller regarding employees and employee benefits and compensation matters in order to adapt such agreement to the particular circumstances of the relevant Selling Affiliate, Buying Affiliate and country, provided that such changes shall be consistent with the principles underlying the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, (iv) such changes as are reasonably appropriate to give effect to the provisions of Section 9.4, and the related provisions of this Section 2.6(d), if applicable, and (v) such other changes as may be reasonably agreed to by Seller and Buyer; provided that the sale of all Intellectual Property shall be effected pursuant to that certain Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement or such other form of Intellectual Property assignment documents as are reasonably agreed by Buyer and Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be fully responsible for all obligations, including indemnification obligations, with respect to its respective Selling Affiliates that may arise under this Agreement or any of the Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreements. Any breach by a Selling Affiliate of any provision hereunder or under an Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a breach by the Seller.  The Seller shall be liable for any obligations hereunder or under any Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement. In the event of any inconsistencies between any Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control.

(e)Buying Affiliates. Buyer shall be entitled to designate one or more Affiliates of Buyer to (i) purchase specified Purchased Assets (including specified Purchased Contracts), (ii) assume specified Assumed Liabilities, and/or (iii) employ identified Scheduled Employees on and after the applicable Employment Commencement Date in Non-TUPE countries while all Scheduled Employees in TUPE countries will automatically transfer to the Buying Affiliate purchasing the Purchased Assets forming the relevant operation (any Person that shall be properly designated by Buyer in accordance with this clause, a “Buying Affiliate”).  No such designation shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be fully responsible for all obligations, including indemnification obligations, with respect to its respective Buying Affiliates that may arise under this Agreement or any of the Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreements. Any breach by a Buying Affiliate of any provision hereunder or under an Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a breach by the Buyer.  The Buyer shall be liable for any obligations hereunder or under any Affiliate Asset Purchase Agreement.”

“(i)Reporting of Operations after January 31, 2014.  With respect to local statutory accounting and income tax reporting on income from the post-January 31, 2014 operations in each country in which the Closing is deferred until after January 31, 2014, all beneficial rights in such income shall belong to the Buyer and the Buyer shall report such income on its income Tax return, and the Seller and Selling Affiliates shall not report such income on its income Tax return.  Buyer agrees that if upon a Tax audit Seller and Selling Affiliates is required to pay Tax on any post-January 31, 2014 income, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and Selling Affiliates for any Tax (plus penalties and interest) on such income and any Tax on the indemnity payment, determined after taking into account any related adjustments including any reduction in income and gain realized from the sale to Seller and the Selling Affiliates agreed to in the Tax audit with the Tax authority.  In the event the foregoing income tax reporting is not permitted under applicable law, Parties shall prepare the respective income Tax Returns, and pay income Taxes thereon, in accordance with applicable law, provided, however, Buyer shall reimburse Seller and the Selling Affiliates for any increase in such income Taxes actually paid arising solely as a result that the respective Subsequent Closing occurred on the Subsequent Closing Date rather than the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice and proof of filing of such Tax Returns and payment of such Taxes (may be provided via an Affidavit of Seller), plus an additional amount that the Parties reasonably agree to represent any additional income Taxes Seller and the Selling Affiliates are liable for by reason of receipt of such reimbursements.”

18.Amendment to Section 10.3.  Section 10.3 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
