In the event the Purchaser is not Horizon Tool, Inc., then Horizon Tool, Inc. will execute at Closing a guaranty of the Promissory Note, the Lease and post closing covenants contained in this agreement. 18. INDEMNIFICATION. The Seller hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and Horizon Tool, Inc. (the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all Loss incurred by the Indemnitees arising out of any claims, demands, or actions by any party against the Indemnitees based upon or arising from the Worker Adjustment And Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101, et seq. or any state plant closing law. As used in this Agreement, the term "Loss" means the amount of any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indemnitees arising out of the matters or circumstances referred to in Section 18(a). If any matter shall arise which, in the opinion of the Indemnitees, constitutes a claim subject to indemnification by Seller as provided herein (an "Indemnity Claim"), the Indemnitees shall give prompt written notice of such indemnity claim to Seller, setting forth the relevant facts and circumstances of such indemnity claim in reasonable detail and the amount of indemnity 24 17 sought from Seller with respect thereto, and shall give continuing notice promptly thereafter as to developments coming to the Indemnitees' attention materially affecting any matter relating to any such indemnity claim.

If for any reason, the Seller fails to undertake the defense of the Indemnitees to an indemnity claim, the Purchaser may, at its option withhold any payment due to the Seller for the Purchased Assets an amount which is sufficient to fully reimburse the Indemnitees for their Loss on account of the indemnity claim. The Seller warrants that this indemnity is enforceable under state and federal law and agrees not to assert any such defense in response to any indemnity claim made by the Indemnitees.

RETURNED MERCHANDISE. For a period of nine (9) months following the date of Closing, all merchandise presently sold by Cal-Van Tools and in their current line, returned as defective will be the responsibility of Seller. Thereafter, all returned merchandise shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser. During the nine (9) month period following the Closing, Purchaser shall allow returns only for defective merchandise. Merchandise returned as defective shall be returned promptly by the Purchaser to the vendor that sold such merchandise to Cal Van for credit, i.e. the amount paid by Cal Van for such merchandise. If and when credit is received from the vendor, the amount of credit shall be remitted promptly to the Seller. Merchandise that is returned as defective shall be credited by Seller against such customers outstanding accounts receivable with Seller, if any, at the original invoiced price to the customer, less any normal allowance. If such customer has no outstanding accounts receivable with Seller or the outstanding accounts receivable are inadequate to cover the full amount of the credit to such customer, Purchaser may, in its discretion, grant such credit in the amount claimed less normal allowance. In such event, Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for the amount so credited. Any returned defective merchandise is the property of Seller. If Purchaser chooses to accept merchandise returned as stock adjustments in accordance with sales policy, i.e. 2 for 1, during the nine month period subsequent to Closing, the customer credits and the returned merchandise will be the responsibility of Purchaser. Customer credits will be charged against Purchaser's 26 19 accounts receivable and returned merchandise will be added to Purchaser's inventory. It is agreed that all repackaging costs necessary to return merchandise to inventory will be charged to Seller. Such costs shall be the lesser of eighty (80.0%) of the current packaging standard cost used by the Purchaser on that item or the current item packaging standard cost used by the Seller. In the event any non-defective merchandise sold by Seller prior to Closing is returned for credit by Advance Auto Stores, or any other customer, without the prior written approval of the Seller or the Purchaser such returned merchandise shall be credited by the Seller against the customers outstanding accounts receivable with Seller at the historical cost of such merchandise. The merchandise returned shall be returned to inventory either as Inventory or B Inventory in accordance with the classification of such inventory at the Closing. If classified as Inventory then an amount equal to the cost of such inventory as of Closing, less any repackaging costs necessary to return such merchandise to inventory as good and saleable product, shall be added to the principal amount of the Promissory Note. If the customer has no outstanding accounts receivable balance with Seller, the Purchaser shall handle the return at its discretion. 20. VACATION PAY AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. The Seller shall pay all accrued vacation pay and other employee benefits to all employees of the Seller upon their termination and shall provide all required COBRA notices. 27 20 21.
