UCI of SC shall take, and Seller shall deliver, possession of the Assets at completion of Closing (as defined below) to be effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below).

Seller retains the right to lawfully contest any such set off or recoupment in an action to collect any amounts due Seller under this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Note, or such other ancillary instruments. The inclusion of this special set off or recoupment provision shall not effect the availability, if any, of rights of set off or recoupment arising at law or in equity. 10. EXISTING LIABILITIES.

All property taxes assessed against the Assets sold hereby shall be prorated as of the Effective Date, and Seller shall promptly pay when due, or reimburse UCI of SC for, all such taxes which remain the Seller's responsibility. 11. RISK OF LOSS.

In such event, UCI of SC must within five (5) days of receipt of such notice either: Page 15 of 19 11.1 Termination. Terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such termination and thereupon all parties shall be released of all further liability to the others; or 11.2 Adjustment. Alternatively, and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein, require the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and, in such case (or in case of any damage by fire or other casualty, or condemnation or eminent domain action not entitling UCI of SC to terminate this Agreement), all proceeds of insurance covering the Assets and all of the claims arising as a result of such damage or destruction to such Assets or all proceeds of such condemnation or eminent domain action for such Assets shall become the property of UCI of SC. In the event UCI of SC elects to require the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, Seller shall not compromise or settle any such claim or action at any time without the written consent of UCI of SC which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall cooperate with the collection of such amounts. Further, in such event, the representations and warranties of Seller, as set forth in Section 5 shall be modified equitably to account for such claim or action. 12. CROSS-DEFAULT. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Seller breaches this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Non-Compete, the Investment Letter, or any other agreement or instrument ancillary hereto to which it is a party, such breach thereof (at the expiration of the applicable grace period set forth therein) shall constitute a breach by Seller of this Agreement. 13.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any document delivered pursuant hereto shall impair any right, power or remedy which the parties hereto may have, nor shall any such delay be construed to be a waiver of any such rights, powers or remedies, or any acquiescence in any breach or default under this Agreement, nor shall any waiver of any breach or default of any party hereunder be deemed a wavier of any default or breach subsequently occurring. 13.3 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements herein contained shall survive the Closing hereunder. 13.4 Amendment.
