Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In March 2006, Dana Corporation (Dana) and forty of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes under the caption In re Dana Corporation, et al., Case No. 06-10354 (BRL), and are being administered jointly.

Dana had announced plans to divest its engine hard parts business and classified the business as a discontinued operation in 2005. This business consists of 39 facilities in 10 countries (including 10 facilities located in the United States and owned by the Debtors) that manufacture piston rings, engine bearings, cylinder liners and camshafts. The business had annual revenues of approximately $670 million in 2005.

On December 4, 2006, Dana announced that it had entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with MAHLE GmbH, dated as of December 1, 2006 (the Agreement) for the purchase of the engine hard parts business, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, government regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

On February 23, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1. Under the Agreement, MAHLE and certain of its affiliates will acquire the tangible and intangible assets of the engine hard parts business from Dana and certain of its affiliates, as well as the shares of a Dana affiliate involved in the engine hard parts business, for an aggregate cash payment of $97 million. The buyers will also assume certain liabilities related to the business.

In connection with this transaction, the parties will enter into various ancillary agreements at closing. These include (i) a distribution agreement under which a MAHLE affiliate will serve as the exclusive distributor for certain of Dana’s Victor Reinz^® branded products in the United States and Canada for a period of 10 years and in Mexico and certain Central and South American countries for the same period once Dana’s existing distribution agreements in those countries expire, and (ii) a transition services agreement, the terms of which have not yet been finalized.

The parties expect to receive final regulatory approvals and to close this transaction in the first quarter of 2007.

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

In addition to non-cash pre-tax valuation adjustments of $88 million that Dana had recorded for the divestiture of its engine hard parts business in the first nine months of 2006, Dana recorded valuation adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2006 and expects to record further adjustments at the time of closing. The net effect of these additional adjustments is expected to be a non-cash pre-tax charge of $15 to $20 million.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

In all cases, appropriate additions but not deletions to Schedule 1.2(e) shall be made to reflect such elections by Purchaser when made. The procedures for the assumption and assignment of the Debtor Contracts, and the procedure for establishing the Cure Costs, shall be mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.

(b) If, at any time after the date hereof through the 90^th Business Day after the Closing Date, any party to this Agreement becomes aware that Seller or any other Debtor Seller is a party to any Contract Related to the Business that is not disclosed on Schedule 1.2(e) (each, an “Undisclosed Contract”), the discovering party shall immediately notify the other party to this Agreement in writing (the “Notification”) of such Undisclosed Contract. For a period of thirty (30) Business Days after the date of Purchaser’s receipt or delivery, as the case may be of the Notification, Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require Seller and/or such other Debtor Seller that is the party to such Undisclosed Contract to file one or more motions with the Bankruptcy Court (which motion(s) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) seeking the entry of an order (the “Undisclosed Contract Assignment Order”), pursuant to Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, to assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser or one of its Designated Affiliates such Undisclosed Contract as if it had been disclosed on Schedule 1.2(e), or to otherwise transfer the benefits of such Undisclosed Contract to the Purchaser or one of its Designated Affiliates without any additional consideration (except for any obligation Purchaser may have to pay applicable Cure Costs pursuant to Section 7.2), by written notice to such Seller or Affiliate. Any Cure Costs in relation to any such Undisclosed Contract shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 7.2. In the event that Purchaser notifies Seller or one of the other Debtor Sellers of Purchaser’s desire to acquire any Undisclosed Contract, Seller or such other Debtor Seller, as the case may be, shall, as soon as practicable after receiving such notification, file with the Bankruptcy Court the motion(s) seeking the entry of the Undisclosed Contract Assignment Order. In addition, Seller or such other Debtor Seller, as the case may be, shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Undisclosed Contract Assignment Order to become a Final Order and (ii) not take any action that would delay, prevent or impede the entry of, or result in the revocation, modification or amendment of, the Undisclosed Contract Assignment Order.

(a) Subject to Article XI, Purchaser shall have responsibility after Closing for the management of all proceedings relating to product recall and warranty claims for products manufactured or sold by the Business prior to the Closing, provided that, where the relevant claim is in its entirety an Excluded Liability, Seller shall have responsibility for the management of the relevant proceedings. In the event that after the Closing Date, Purchaser (i) receives notice with respect to product recall or warranty obligations relating to products manufactured or sold by the Business prior to the Closing Date and which entail Excluded Liabilities or (ii) determines in Purchaser’s reasonable business judgment that it is advisable, or is required by a notice from a Governmental Body, to undertake a recall of any products manufactured or sold by the Business prior to the Closing Date, and such recall entails an Excluded Liability, then, in each case, Purchaser shall (x) notify Seller of such circumstance within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of such notice or the date of such determination, as applicable, and (y) not enter into any agreement with any claimants with respect to such product recall or warranty obligations or with a Governmental Body, without first permitting Seller the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such agreement or proposed recall. If Seller does not respond within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, such claims shall be considered to be approved by Seller for purposes of this Section. No delay or failure to give such notice by Purchaser to Seller shall adversely affect any of the rights or remedies which Purchaser has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve Seller of its obligations to indemnify Purchaser except to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced Seller. Purchaser shall undertake and/or honor, as applicable, with respect to the products of the Business manufactured or sold prior to the Closing Date, product warranty, return or rebate claims (in each case, not involving product recall, death, personal injury, other injury to persons or damage to property) that entail Excluded Liabilities in substantially the same manner as undertaken, processed, approved and performed, as the case may be, by Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the Business prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall submit a written quarterly report to Seller describing with reasonable detail any and all product recall and warranty expenses that entail Excluded Liabilities that Purchaser claims to have incurred during such quarter in respect of product recalls and/or warranty claims undertaken, satisfied, settled or performed during such quarter, together with documentation sufficiently evidencing such expenses and the basis therefor.

(b) All product liability claims for death, personal injury, other injury to persons or damage to property shall be managed in accordance with Article XI.

(c) Liabilities of the Transferred JVs arising from or in connection with products manufactured or sold by the Transferred JVs shall remain the responsibility of the Transferred JVs and shall be neither Assumed Liabilities nor Excluded Liabilities for the purposes of this Agreement.

The consideration (which shall be exclusive of any applicable VAT or other Transfer Taxes imposed thereon) to be paid (subject to any requirements to make local payments under applicable Law) by Purchaser, for its own account and as agent for its Designated Affiliates, to Seller, for its own account and for the account of its Selling Affiliates, in full consideration of the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets shall consist of:

(a) Ninety Seven Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($97,700,000) (the “Initial Cash Consideration”) in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 7.2 and 10.3 (the Initial Cash Consideration, as adjusted, the “Final Cash Consideration”) to be paid in the manner and at the time set forth in Section 2.2; and

(b) the assumption by Purchaser or its Designated Affiliates on and as of the Closing Date of the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 2.2. Payment of Cash Consideration.

The Initial Cash Consideration shall be paid as follows:

(b) subject to any requirements to make local payments under applicable Law, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to an account or accounts designated by Seller (such designation to be made in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Initial Cash Consideration, less (i) $10,000,000 to be delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(b) to fund Seller’s obligations pursuant to Article XI (the “Indemnity Escrow”); (ii) the Deposit Amount; (iii) any amounts to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.2(a) in respect of any Deferred Local Closing, which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3.2(a); (iv) the amount to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.2(b), (the “India Escrow”) which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3.2(b); (v) Seven Million Eight Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($7,825,000) (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow”) which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 2.4; and (vi) Two Million, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) to be withheld in accordance with Section 10.3 (the “Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow”) which shall be

If any requirements of Law require that any portion of the Initial Cash Consideration payable to Seller or any of its Selling Affiliates must be paid in a currency other than United States Dollars, Purchaser shall cause its relevant Designated Affiliate to pay at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such other currency, such portion based on the exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Section 2.3. Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) “Net Working Capital of the Business” as of any date shall mean the amount calculated by subtracting the Liabilities set forth in Schedule 2.3(a) from the assets set forth in Schedule 2.3(a).

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within 60 days following the Closing, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, will prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement of net assets of the Business at the Closing Date (as such may be adjusted following resolution of disputes in accordance with Section 2.3(c), the “Closing Statement of Net Assets”), a calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Statement of Net Assets and the calculation of the Net Working Capital Adjustment. The Closing Statement of Net Assets shall be prepared on the basis set forth in Schedule 2.3(b). During the preparation of the Closing Statement of Net Assets and the calculation of Net Working Capital Adjustment, and the period of any dispute within the contemplation of this Section 2.3, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Company to (i) provide Seller and its authorized representatives with full access to all relevant books, records, facilities and employees of Purchaser and its affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary to prepare the Closing Statement of Net Assets and the calculation of the Net Working Capital Adjustment, and (ii) cooperate fully with Seller and its authorized representatives, including by providing on a timely basis all information to the extent necessary or useful in preparing the Closing Statement of Net Assets and calculating the Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(c) Following receipt of the Closing Statement of Net Assets and the Net Working Capital Adjustment, Purchaser will be afforded a period of 45 days to review the Closing Statement of Net Assets and the Net Working Capital Adjustment (the “Review Period”). Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Net Working Capital Adjustment unless, prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice and a reasonably detailed written explanation of those items in the Net Working Capital Adjustment that Purchaser disputes, in which case the Net Working Capital Adjustment, to the extent not affected by the disputed items, will be deemed to be accepted, and the items identified by Purchaser shall be deemed to be in dispute. Within a further period of 30 days from the end of the Review Period, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items. Failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to such certified public accountants as the parties mutually agree in writing (the “Independent Auditors”). The unresolved disputed items (if any) will be deemed to be as determined by the Independent Auditors in accordance with Schedule 2.3(b) within 30 days of such reference. Each party will

furnish to the Independent Auditors such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the disputed items as the Independent Auditors may request and are available to that party or its affiliates. The Independent Auditors shall act as experts and not as arbitrators. One-half of the cost of the determination by the Independent Auditors shall be paid by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. The decision of the Independent Auditors shall be communicated to Purchaser and Seller in writing and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge for any reason (other than gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct). The definitive Closing Net Working Capital and Net Working Capital Adjustment shall be the Closing Net Working Capital and Net Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(c) or the definitive Closing Net Working Capital or Net Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, resulting from the determination made by the Independent Auditors in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Seller and Purchaser).

(d) The Target Net Working Capital Upper Range (the “Target Net Working Capital Upper Range”) is One Hundred Fifty Nine Million Dollars ($159,000,000). The Target Net Working Capital Lower Range (the “Target Net Working Capital Lower Range”) is One Hundred Fifty Four Million Dollars ($154,000,000).

(e) “Closing Net Working Capital” is the Net Working Capital of the Business as calculated from the Closing Statement of Net Assets, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.3(c). No accounts receivable from the National Automotive Parts Association (“NAPA”) or any of NAPA’s Affiliates shall be taken into account for the purposes of calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital.

(f) “Net Working Capital Adjustment” shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Closing Net Working Capital is more than the Target Net Working Capital Upper Range, then the Net Working Capital Adjustment will be a positive amount equal to the amount of such excess; and (ii) if the Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital Lower Range, then the Net Working Capital Adjustment will be a negative amount equal to the amount of such difference.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 2.3, 10.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e) there is no agreement among the parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration.

Section 2.4. Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) If the Net Working Capital Adjustment is a positive amount, (i) Purchaser will pay Seller the amount of the Net Working Capital Adjustment, together with interest thereon at the LIBOR rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, such payment to be made within ten days after the final determination of the Net Working Capital Adjustment; provided, however, that, if payment is not made within such ten-day period, the applicable rate of interest shall be increased by 2% per month for the period from the day following such date through the date such payment is made; and (ii) the

Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement.

(b) If the Net Working Capital Adjustment is a negative amount but is less than or equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, then that portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow equal to the Net Working Asset Adjustment shall be applied to cover the Net Working Capital Adjustment and the Escrow Agent shall deliver such portion to the Purchaser and the remaining portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow to Seller, in each case within ten days after the final determination of the Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Net Working Capital Adjustment is a negative amount that is greater than the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, then (i) the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement to Purchaser to cover the Net Working Capital Adjustment and (ii) Seller will pay to the Purchaser the amount equal to the Net Working Capital Adjustment minus the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, together with interest on the amount set forth in clause (ii) above at the LIBOR rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, each such payment to be made within ten days after the final determination of the Net Working Capital Adjustment; provided, however, that, if any such payment from Seller to Purchaser pursuant to clause (ii) above is not made within such ten-day period, the applicable rate of interest shall be increased by 2% per month for the period from the day following such date through the date such payment is made.

Section 2.5. Allocation of Consideration.

Upon signing Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed to allocate the Initial Cash Consideration as set forth on Schedule 2.5(a). The cash amounts allocated on Schedule 2.5(a) shall not be adjusted after the date hereof, except to take into account any adjustment to the Initial Cash Consideration in accordance with this Agreement and except with respect to the cash amount allocated to the Seller PCIL Stock which shall be subject to possible downwards-only adjustment prior to Closing pursuant to good faith agreement between the parties. Any amount by which the amount allocated to the Seller PCIL Stock in Schedule 2.5(a) is reduced shall be added to the amount allocated to the Business in the United States. Prior to Closing and consistently with Schedule 2.5(a), Seller and Purchaser shall in good faith agree how to allocate the Initial Consideration (taking into account Assumed Liabilities to the extent they are included in the amount realized for income tax purposes) among the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets, and such agreement shall be set forth on a schedule to be attached to this agreement as Schedule 2.5(b). Purchaser shall initially propose the content of Schedule 2.5(b) and if Purchaser does so, such proposal shall be subject to Seller’s review and reasonable objection, to be resolved by good-faith negotiations between Purchaser and Seller. Within 60 calendar days following the determination of the Final Consideration, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the allocation of the difference between the Initial Consideration and the Final Consideration among the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Assets (and among Seller and its Selling Affiliates). The allocation of this amount shall take into account the item or items (and the country) to which it is attributable and shall, to the extent such allocation is agreed by Purchaser and Seller, be reflected on a revised Schedule 2.5(b). In the event that Purchaser and

Seller are unable to reach an agreement within such 60 calendar day period, the allocation of any disputed item or items shall be resolved within the next 30 calendar days by an independent accounting firm or valuation expert that is mutually acceptable to both parties and whose fees shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Such determination by the accounting firm or valuation expert shall be binding on the parties without further adjustment and shall be reflected on a revised Schedule 2.5(b). Except as otherwise required by Law or pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law), Purchaser and Seller agree to act, and to cause their Affiliates to act, in accordance with the allocations contained in Schedule 2.5(b), for all Tax purposes and that neither of them will (or will permit its Affiliates to) take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Returns or similar filings (including IRS Form 8594 or any similar form required to be filed under state, local or foreign Law), any refund claim, litigation, audit or otherwise. Purchaser and Seller each agree to provide the other party with any additional information reasonably required to complete IRS Form 8594 (or any similar form required to be filed under state, local or foreign Law) and with completed copies of such forms. Each party will, subject to confidentiality obligations, provide to the other party a copy of any appraisal obtained by such party in connection with the allocation under this Section 2.5. Where a confidentiality obligation would otherwise prohibit a party from so providing a copy of any such appraisal, such party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of such confidentiality obligations.

ARTICLE III

THE CLOSING

Section 3.1. Closing Date.

Except as hereinafter provided, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Closing”) shall, subject to Section 3.2, take place at the offices of Baker & McKenzie LLP, 130 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, II, 60601, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the date that is five (5) Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Articles VIII and IX, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by Purchaser and Seller (such date and time being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be deemed to occur as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Closing Date.

Section 3.2. Deferred Local Closings.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that all of the steps to be taken at Closing are interdependent and that accordingly the Closing is required to be simultaneous with respect to each of the jurisdictions entailed in the Business. The parties may nonetheless mutually agree in writing to defer the Closing solely with respect to the Purchased Shares or Purchased Assets in a particular jurisdiction (each, a “Deferred Local Closing”). In such event, the parties will prior to Closing mutually determine (a) the mechanics for escrow and payment of that part of the Initial Cash Consideration allocable to the Purchased Shares or Purchased Assets related to such Deferred Local Closing, (b) the treatment of the beneficial interest in and to the relevant Purchased Shares or Purchased Assets from the Closing (including, without limitation, all cash and cash equivalents generated with respect thereto) until the relevant Deferred

Local Closing, and (c) the nature and extent of any services required to be provided by the parties to the Business in the relevant jurisdiction and compensation therefor until the relevant Deferred Local Closing. Solely with respect to any Deferred Local Closing, (a) the conditions set forth in each of Articles VIII and IX must be satisfied or waived at or prior to such Deferred Local Closing instead of the Closing, and (b) Seller shall continue to comply with its obligations set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.7, and 6.8 in respect of the relevant Required Consent Jurisdiction until such Deferred Local Closing.

(b) Seller on the one hand, and Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, on the other hand, shall at Closing enter into a stock acquisition agreement for the acquisition by Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate of the 11,640,000 shares (the “Seller PCIL Stock”) in the issued share capital of Perfect Circle India, Ltd (“PCIL”) owned by Seller, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “PCIL Stock Acquisition Agreement”). At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver that portion of the Initial Cash Consideration allocable to PCIL to the Escrow Agent to be held as the India Escrow. The parties acknowledge and agree that entering into the PCIL Stock Acquisition Agreement will reflect the Purchaser’s decision to acquire the Seller PCIL Stock which will give rise to an obligation on Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations 1997, to make a public offering for a minimum of 20% of the remaining issued share capital of PCIL (the “PCIL Public Offering”). The parties further acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to the requirements of Indian Law, Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate will be unable to acquire title to the Seller PCIL Stock until the consummation of the PCIL Public Offering. Accordingly, the parties agree that Seller shall remain the legal and beneficial owner of the Seller PCIL Stock until the consummation of the PCIL Public Offering. Upon the date of consummation of the PCIL Public Offering, Seller shall deliver the Seller PCIL Stock to Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the India Escrow, less an amount equal to the amount of any dividends paid by PCIL to the Seller after Closing but prior to the India Closing, as consideration for the Seller PCIL Stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the PCIL Stock Acquisition Agreement (the “India Closing”).

Section 3.3. Deliveries by Seller to Purchaser.

(d) special warranty deeds, or comparable instruments of transfer and assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with respect to the Owned Real Properties (including any quit claim deeds that may be necessary to transfer property interests reflected in the Title Commitments but not included in the deeds for the Owned Real Properties);

(b) Prior to the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order on the Bankruptcy Court’s docket, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, (a) negotiate or execute an agreement with respect to an Alternative Transaction, or (b) seek or support Bankruptcy Court approval of a motion or Order inconsistent in any way with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.6. Compliance with Bidding Procedures; Maintenance of Confidentiality.

Seller shall provide or make available to Purchaser any non-public material information with respect to Seller and its Subsidiaries that is provided to any potential purchaser in accordance with the Bidding Procedures. Seller shall not release any Person from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the Bidding Procedures. Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of non-public information in the Schedules to this Agreement. In the event any Person seeks to obtain such Schedules without complying with the Bidding Procedures or any applicable confidentiality

agreement with the Debtors, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek and obtain a protective order with respect thereto.

Section 6.7. Consents and Conditions.

(a) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from, and give any necessary notifications to, third parties; and (ii) make all registrations and filings with all Governmental Bodies (including but not limited to those in connection with the HSR Act and the EC Merger Regulation).

The Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (“Second Request”) under 15 U.S.C. § 18a(e)(2) in the United States and to assist the Purchaser to avoid the issuance of a decision under Article 6(1)(c) of the EC Merger Regulation initiating a “Second Phase” investigation (“Second Phase”) or the extension by any other Governmental Body of its clearance procedure beyond the initial waiting period.

(b) Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to any of the matters referred to in Section 6.7(a), including promptly furnishing Purchaser with copies of notices or other communications received by Seller or by any of its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with the foregoing, Seller shall promptly furnish to Purchaser such necessary information and reasonable assistance as Purchaser may request and shall promptly provide counsel for Purchaser with copies of all filings made by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, and all correspondence between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (and its or their advisors) with any Governmental Body and any other information supplied by Seller or any of its Affiliates to a Governmental Body in connection therewith and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Seller may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to Purchaser as “outside counsel only,” and materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business and (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements. Materials designated as for “outside counsel only” and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of Purchaser and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of Purchaser unless express permission is obtained in advance from Seller or its legal counsel. Seller shall, subject to applicable Law, permit counsel for Purchaser reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of Purchaser in connection with, any proposed written communication to

any Governmental Body in connection with the matters referred to in this Section 6.7. To the extent practicable, Seller agrees to consult with the Purchaser prior to participating or permitting its Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Body in connection herewith and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Body, deemed advisable by the parties, agrees to give Purchaser the opportunity to attend and participate.

(c) Seller shall, using its reasonable best efforts, cooperate with the Purchaser and take all steps reasonably necessary to assist the Purchaser in timely transferring all Permits, including those required under Environmental Law.

Section 6.8. Updating of Information.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser if Seller obtains knowledge of (a) any facts or circumstances that cause or constitute a material breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or (b) the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any facts or circumstances that would cause or constitute a material breach of any such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the occurrence of such facts or circumstances. If the relevant breach is capable of being cured and Seller states in such notice that it intends to cure the relevant breach, then Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise its right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(f)(i) on the basis that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 are not capable of being satisfied, for twenty (20) Business Days from the date of Purchaser’s receipt of such notice (the “Cure Period”). If such breach is not cured within the Cure Period, then Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise its right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(f)(i) on the basis that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 are not capable of being satisfied; provided, however, that if Purchaser is entitled to but does not exercise such right within a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the expiration of the Cure Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(f)(i) on the basis that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 are not capable of being satisfied, in respect of the fact or circumstance in question and the Seller’s Schedules hereto shall be amended as necessary to reflect the relevant fact or circumstance and Purchaser shall have no rights against Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) in respect of such breach or potential breach nor any right not to proceed with the Closing based on such breach or potential breach.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified after Closing pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) from and against any and all Losses arising out of resulting from any facts or circumstances of which Purchaser is notified after the date of this Agreement and which cause or constitute a material breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement but which do not permit Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(f)(i).

Section 6.9. Intercompany Agreements and Accounts.

Effective as of the Closing Date and subject to the Bankruptcy Court Orders, except as otherwise contemplated hereby or by any Transition Agreement or as contemplated by Schedule 1.3(n), Schedule 1.4, or Schedule 1.6(f), all intercompany receivables, payables, loans and investments then existing, if any, between or among Seller and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company), on the one hand, and the Acquired Company, on the other hand, shall be terminated, forgiven or settled, including by way of capital contribution or by way of dividend in kind or otherwise as appropriate. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there are no negative Tax implications or consequences for the Acquired Company at or after Closing as a result of such termination, forgiveness or settlement.

Section 6.10. Litigation Support.

In the event and for so long as Purchaser or any of its Affiliates actively is contesting or defending against any action, investigation, charge, claim, or demand by a third party in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction involving the Business, Seller will cooperate, and cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s Affiliates and its or their counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books, records and other materials as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser (unless Purchaser is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article XI).

Section 6.11. Ancillary Agreements.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall agree the form of those documents to be delivered at Closing pursuant to Article III and which do not form Exhibits to this Agreement as of the date hereof, including without limitation the Transition Services Agreement (which shall be on commercially reasonable terms) and any Escrow Agreements (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”).

Section 6.12. Interim Financial Statements.

Seller will deliver to Purchaser, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by no later than the last Business Day of the following calendar month, financial statements (including statements of net assets and income statements) for the Business for such calendar month prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as set forth in Schedule 4.7(a), and on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements.

Section 6.13. Further Actions.

(a) Until the Closing, Seller agrees not to take, and to cause its Affiliates not to take, any action in the Cases in connection with proposing or confirming any plan of reorganization that would limit, impair or alter Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement.

(b) Seller shall, upon written request from Purchaser, use its commercially reasonable efforts, before Closing, to assist Purchaser and its Designated Affiliates in entering into arrangements with third parties that are reasonably equivalent to those arrangements between Seller or Seller’s Affiliates and such third parties under the terms of global or national contracts of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates that are not Related to the Business but which partially pertain to the Business; provided, however, that Seller not be obliged to pay any third party costs, fees or expenses (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its own attorneys’ fees) pursuant to this Section 6.13(b).

(c) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts, before Closing, to acquire good and marketable title to the Owned Real Property described on Schedule 4.11(d).

Section 6.14. Title Insurance.

(a) No later than 10 Business Days prior to Closing, Seller will furnish to Purchaser for each parcel of Owned Real Property located in the United States listed on Schedule 4.11(a) as a parcel for which title insurance is to be obtained (the “Insured Real Property”) (i) a title commitment (each, a “Title Commitment”) issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Insurer”) to insure title to each such parcel, including all insurable appurtenances, naming Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate as the proposed insured (collectively, the “Title Commitments”), (ii) complete copies of all recorded exception documents listed on the Title Commitments (the “Recorded Documents”), and (iii) a survey of the Insured Real Property made after the date of this Agreement by a land surveyor licensed by the state in which each parcel of Insured Real Property is located and bearing a certificate, signed and sealed by the surveyor, certifying to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Insurer that (A) such survey was made in accordance with “2005 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” and includes Items 1-4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8-11(a), and 13 of Table A thereof, and (B) such survey reflects the locations of all building lines, easements and areas affected by any Recorded Documents affecting the applicable parcel of Insured Real Property, as disclosed in the Title Commitment (identified by issuer, commitment number, and an effective date after the date hereof) as well as any encroachments onto the Insured Real Property or by the Improvements onto any easement area or adjoining property (each, a “Survey”).

(b) If (i) any Title Commitment or other evidence of title or search of the appropriate real estate records discloses that any party other than Seller or one of the Asset Selling Affiliates is vested with title to the insured estate covered by the Title Commitment, (ii) any title exception is disclosed in Schedule B to any Title Commitment which Purchaser reasonably believes could materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s and its Designated Affiliates’ use and enjoyment of the Insured Real Property described therein (other than an exception that Seller specifies when delivering the Title Commitment to Purchaser as one that Seller will cause to be deleted from the Title Commitment concurrently with the Closing) or (iii) any Survey discloses any matter which Purchaser reasonably believes could materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s and its Designated Affiliates’ use and enjoyment of the Insured Real Property described

therein, then Purchaser will notify Seller in writing of such matters within ten (10) days after receiving all of the Title Commitments, Surveys, and copies of Recorded Documents for the parcel of Insured Real Property covered thereby (including any revisions or amendments to the Title Commitments and Surveys that may be delivered prior to Closing). Seller will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cure each such title objection prior to Closing. In the event Seller fails to cure any such objectionable matter, Purchaser as its sole and exclusive remedy may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller if such objectionable matters constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Payment of all costs in connection with the Title Commitments and Surveys shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

Section 6.15. Insurance.

(a) Until the Closing Date, Seller will continue to maintain in effect insurance in amounts deemed by Seller in its reasonable discretion to be adequate coverage of the Purchased Assets. With respect to any damage or destruction to or of any of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date for which Seller or any Affiliate of Seller would be entitled to assert a claim for recovery under any insurance policy maintained with any third party insurance carrier by or for the benefit of Seller of any Affiliate of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, at the request of Purchaser, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assert one or more claims under such insurance covering such damage or destruction. In the case of any damage to or destruction of any Purchased Assets occurring prior to the Closing that is covered by an insurance policy maintained by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller with any third party insurance carrier, Seller shall deliver all insurance proceeds realized therefrom to Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate at Closing or as soon thereafter as collected by Seller or Sellers’ relevant Affiliate.

(b) Seller shall, before and after Closing, maintain with respect to ARC through the end of the current policy year for each such policy all commercial general liability insurance policies in effect with respect to ARC as of the date hereof to the extent such policies cover injury to persons or damage to property resulting from the ARC Product Issue (the “Products Policies”). Seller will take no action, and will cause its representatives and Affiliates not to take any action, that would adversely affect ARC’s rights as an additional named insured under the Products Policies for the period beginning on June 1, 2005 and ending on May 31, 2006 and the period beginning on June 1, 2006 and ending on May 31, 2007 with respect to the ARC Product Issue. Seller agrees to give notice of the ARC Product Issue to all relevant insurance carriers in respect of the Products Policies, including without limitation Twin City Fire Insurance Company and St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, promptly after the date hereof. Notwithstanding the fact that Seller is of the view that, based upon all facts currently available to them as of the date hereof, there is no credible basis for any claim against ARC arising out of the ARC Product Issue, ARC’s right to make claims for injury or loss under the Products Policies includes the right to make claims for Losses relating to the ARC Product Issue. Any amount paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates to ARC pursuant

to Seller’s obligations under Section 11.2(a)(iv) or to the relevant insurance carrier pursuant to a reimbursement obligation under a fronted insurance policy, in each case as a result of the application of any deductible or self-insured amount for Losses relating to the ARC Product Issue under the Product Policies will count against the ARC Product Indemnity Cap under Section 11.4.

Section 6.16. Affinia Agreements.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that it is intended that the Affinia Agreements, to the extent applicable to the Business, be assigned to the Purchaser at Closing on an “as is” basis (the “Affinia Agreements Transfer”).

(b) The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in order to achieve the Affinia Agreements Transfer, it will be necessary to obtain the consent of Affinia (the “Affinia Consent”) to (a) the splitting of the Brazil Distribution Agreement, the Brazil Trademark License Agreement, the Argentine Commission Agreement, the Argentina Trademark License Agreement, and the Dana Global Sales Agreement, in each case so as to result in agreements in respect of the Business and the business retained by Dana, respectively (the split agreements relating to the Business being the “Affinia Split Agreements”), and (b) the assignment of the Affinia Split Agreements from the Seller and its relevant Affiliates to the Purchaser and its relevant Affiliates.

(c) The parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Affinia Consent as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event by no later than Closing.

Section 7.1. Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Employees.

the other Debtors must be provided as a prerequisite to the assumption of such Debtor Contracts under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a) (the “Cure Costs”). Appropriate additions and deletions shall be made to Schedule 7.2, and the Cure Costs shall be correspondingly amended, to reflect additions and deletions to Schedule 1.2(e) made from time to time in accordance with Section 1.7. In addition, Seller and the Debtor Sellers may amend Schedule 7.2 to adjust the Cure Cost for a particular Debtor Contract at any time prior to the assumption and assignment of such Debtor Contract. Subject to entry of the Approval Order and it becoming a Final Order, Purchaser shall within fourteen (14) days after the Closing pay the Cure Costs; provided that if the Cure Costs as determined by the Bankruptcy Court are greater than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate, Seller shall be responsible for such excess amount as an adjustment to the Final Consideration. In order to effect any such adjustment, the amount otherwise payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the Cure Costs that have been allowed by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Closing exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). To the extent that the total of the Cure Costs finally allowed by the Bankruptcy Court exceed $3,000,000 on or after the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay the Cure Costs finally allowed by the Bankruptcy Court on any Debtor Contract which is assumed and assigned after the Closing in accordance with the requirements of the Approval Order or such other Order of Bankruptcy Court that approves the assumption and assignment of a Debtor Contract to Purchaser. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any such Cure Costs paid by Purchaser in excess of $3,000,000 which are not taken into account in the adjustment of the amount payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a) within 30 days of receiving documentation evidencing proof of payment of the Cure Costs on such Debtor Contracts.

The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (“Second Request”) under 15 U.S.C. § 18a(e)(2) in the United States or the issuance of a decision under Article 6(1)(c) of the EC Merger

Regulation initiating a “Second Phase” investigation (“Second Phase”) or the extension by any other Governmental Body of its clearance procedure beyond the initial waiting period.

(b) Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing Seller with copies of notices or other communications received by Purchaser or by any of its Subsidiaries from any third party and/or any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall promptly furnish to Seller such necessary information and reasonable assistance as Seller may request in connection with the foregoing and shall promptly provide counsel for Seller with copies of all filings made by Purchaser, and all correspondence between Purchaser (and its advisors) with any Governmental Body and any other information supplied by Purchaser and its Affiliates to a Governmental Body in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that Purchaser may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to Seller as “outside counsel only,” and materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business and (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements.

To the extent practicable, Purchaser agrees to consult with Seller prior to participating, or permitting its Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Body in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Body, to give Seller the opportunity to attend and participate.

Section 7.7. Guarantees; Letters of Credit.

Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause itself or one or more of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company), effective as of the Closing Date, in respect of all obligations of Seller and any such Subsidiary (other than the Acquired Company) under each of the guarantees, letters of credit, letters of comfort, bid bonds and performance bonds obtained by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company) for the benefit of the Business and which is assumed by Purchaser or its Designated Affiliates as an Assumed Liability (and Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be released from any such obligations), including those guarantees, letters of credit, letters of comfort, bid bonds and performance bonds are set forth in Schedule 7.7 (the “Guarantees”).

ADDITIONAL POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

Section 10.1. Transferred Employees.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) shall continue to employ each Acquired Company Employee and shall continue to employ (where employment continues automatically by operation of Law) or shall offer employment (where employment does not continue by operation of Law) to each Business Employee, in each case, who:

(i) is actively employed in the Business on such date or is absent from employment due to vacation, holiday or temporary illness (the “Current Employees”); or

(ii) (A) is absent from work due to short or long-term disability, workers compensation or work related injury schemes, military leave or other authorized leave of absence or lay off and (B) has the right to return to employment with the Business following expiration of such absence under applicable Law or any applicable agreement (including any collective bargaining agreement) (the “Leave Employees” and, together with the Current Employees, the “Closing Date Employees”),

other than no more than three (3) Business Employees and Acquired Company Employees to be designated by Purchaser no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing who shall remain employed by and the responsibility of the Seller and its Affiliates and shall not continue in employment with or transfer to the Purchaser (the “Excluded Business Employees”).

All such offers of employment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. Except as otherwise provided by applicable Law or any applicable collective bargaining agreement, a Closing Date Employee who is not employed by the Acquired Company or whose employment does not continue automatically by operation of law, and who is offered employment by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to have accepted such offer if he or she has completed Purchaser’s pre-employment enrollment package and has presented himself or herself as available for active employment at his or her then applicable place of employment: (A) in the case of a Current Employee, on the first Business Day immediate following the Closing Date, or such subsequent date as Purchaser in its sole discretion shall approve (or, in the case of a Current Employee who is absent from work on the Closing Date due to vacation, holiday or temporary illness, the first Business Day following the Closing Date that such Current Employee is scheduled to return or is fit to return to active employment), and (B) in the case of a Leave Employee, on the first Business Day following the Closing Date that the

Leave Employee is able to return to active employment, but in no event later than six months following the Closing Date. Any Current Employee who fails to complete Purchaser’s pre-employment enrollment package within twenty-one (21) days after the Closing Date and who does not continue in employment automatically by operation of Law, shall be deemed to have rejected such offer of employment unless he or she continues to be actively at work with the Purchaser at the end of the 21-day period. Each Closing Date Employee who is an Acquired Company Employee, and each Closing Date Employee who continues in employment automatically by operation of Law or who accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates), shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to encourage Leave Employees to return to work. Seller will be responsible for those Current Employees and those Leave Employees who do not accept offers of employment. Seller reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, modify the terms and conditions of employment of any Leave Employee who has not yet accepted an offer of employment from Purchaser, or to terminate the employment of such Leave Employee with Seller. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller shall be liable for all costs, benefits, compensation and severance with respect to any Excluded Business Employee, any Business Employee or Acquired Company Employee who is not a Closing Date Employee, and any Closing Date Employee who is not a Transferred Employee, including any Closing Date Employee who does not accept an offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, or any Closing Date Employee who refuses to consent to his or her automatic transfer to Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall have no responsibility for, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from, all claims brought by Closing Date Employees relating to the payment of severance (including the reasonable actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) that arise as a result of Purchaser’s failure to make an offer of employment to such Closing Date Employees in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.1.

(b) Each offer of employment extended to a Closing Date Employee by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be at a base salary or wage not less than the base salary or wage paid to the Closing Date Employee, in the case of a Current Employee, immediately prior to the Closing Date and, in the case of a Leave Employee, immediately prior to the commencement of such Leave Employee’s absence from work, in each case unless a higher wage is otherwise required by Law. During the 12 month period immediately following the Closing Date, for so long as the Transferred Employee continues in employment during such period, Purchaser shall continue to provide each Transferred Employee with an annual salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, at least equal to the salary or rate contained in such offer of employment to such Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee for any period of time following the Closing Date, except as expressly set forth in an employment contract or as required by applicable Law.

(c) For each group of Transferred Employees in the United States who are covered by any collective bargaining agreement with Seller as of the Closing Date (“Union Transferred Employees”), Purchaser shall adopt such collective bargaining agreement and assume the collective bargaining obligations of Seller (subject to such

modifications acceptable to the affected labor union as Purchaser reasonably deems appropriate to reflect its own benefits programs and insurance policies). For each group of Union Transferred Employees and each group of Acquired Company Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between a union and the Acquired Company as of the date hereof, Purchaser agrees that such collective bargaining agreement shall remain in effect under its present terms (subject to such modifications acceptable to the affected labor union as Purchaser reasonably deems appropriate to reflect its own benefits programs and insurance policies) until such time as the Acquired Company may have a right to modify or terminate the collective bargaining agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable Law. Purchaser shall provide Union Transferred Employees with the Assumed Benefit Plans (as described in Section 10.3 below), and with such other compensation and benefits as may be required by the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the union representing such Union Transferred Employees.

(d) Effective on the Closing Date, Purchaser accepts any and all post-Closing obligations under the WARN Act, and any comparable state or local law or ordinance, with respect to all Transferred Employees.

(e) For the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, for so long as a Transferred Employee in the United States whose employment is not governed by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement (a “Non-Union Transferred Employee”) continues in employment during all or any part of such period, Purchaser shall provide each such Non-Union Transferred Employee and his or her respective eligible dependents with medical, dental, prescription drug and other welfare benefits (the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”), and such retirement benefits (the “Purchaser Retirement Plans”) under the Purchaser Welfare Plans and Purchaser Retirement Plans that are in the case of each benefit substantially similar to either (a) the benefits provided to Purchaser’s U.S. employees in comparable respective positions, or (b) the benefits provided to the Non-Union Transferred Employee by Seller prior to Closing.

(i) The Purchaser Welfare Plans shall (i) treat the Non-Union Transferred Employees and their respective eligible dependents as eligible to participate in the Purchaser Welfare Plans immediately upon the Closing Date to the same extent such Non-Union Transferred Employees and their respective eligible dependents were eligible under the analogous Seller Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) give to the Non-Union Transferred Employees and their respective eligible dependents credit under the Purchaser Welfare Plans for service with Seller, the Acquired Company, Seller and their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing Date to the extent such credit was given under the analogous Seller Employee Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. Such credit for service shall be given for purposes of eligibility to participate, eligibility for benefits and satisfaction of any waiting periods under the Purchaser Welfare Plans.

(ii) Each Non-Union Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in the applicable Purchaser Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

immediately upon the Closing Date and shall, except as provided below, be given credit under the applicable Purchaser Defined Contribution Retirement Plans for all service prior to the Closing Date to the extent such credit was given under the analogous Seller Employee Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. Such credit for service shall be given for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, eligibility for early retirement, and for all other purposes for which such service is either taken into account or recognized, other than for benefit accrual purposes.

(f) Purchaser agrees that (i) all unpaid accrued but unused vacation, personal days, floating holidays, sick pay and other leave of the Non-Union Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date shall be Purchaser’s responsibility and shall be recognized by Purchaser under its vacation and/or pay policies to the extent not paid by Seller on or before the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent that Seller is required by applicable Law or the terms of any Seller Employee Benefit Plan to make any payment to any Non-Union Transferred Employee for any vacation accrued but unused and unpaid as of the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the transaction, Purchaser agrees to promptly reimburse Seller for the amount of such payment, but only to the extent that the Liabilities described in (i) and (ii) above are properly reflected on the Closing Statement of Net Assets.

(g) Purchaser shall be solely responsible on and after the Closing Date for the terms and conditions of employment of all Transferred Employees and for any change thereof. With respect to any Transferred Employee that Purchaser terminates after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for satisfying any requirements under any applicable Laws and, with respect to each Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for (i) any Liabilities, obligations or claims arising under any Assumed Benefit Plan; (ii) obligations arising on or after the Closing Date under any applicable contract of employment, including, but not limited to, any Assumed Retention Agreement but only to the extent provided in Section 1.5(f), (iii) any grievances, arbitrations or unfair labor practice charges arising from events that occur on or after the Closing Date and any non-monetary relief granted pursuant to grievances, arbitrations or unfair labor practice charges arising from events that occur prior to the Closing Date; and (iv) any alleged violation of Law (including, but not limited to, any Law pertaining to employment discrimination, workers’ compensation, occupational safety and health, unfair labor practices, WARN Act violations and similar Laws), if such alleged violation occurred on or after the Closing Date. Similarly, with respect to any Transferred Employee, Seller shall be solely responsible for (i) any Liabilities, obligations or claims arising prior to the Closing Date, under any Seller Employee Benefit Plan (other than an Assumed Benefit Plan); (ii) any obligations under an applicable contract of employment for any Acquired Company Employee or Business Employee who is not a Transferred Employee; (iii) any monetary relief (including without limitation monetary damages and back pay awarded through the date of any reinstatement of employment) for grievances, arbitrations or unfair labor practice charges arising from events that occurred prior to the Closing Date; and (iv) any alleged violation of Law (including, but not limited to, any Law pertaining to employment discrimination, workers’ compensation, occupational

safety and health, unfair labor practices, WARN Act violations and similar Laws), if such alleged violation occurred prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Seller and Purchaser agree to furnish to each other such information as may be reasonably required with respect to any Transferred Employee promptly following receipt of any reasonable written request from the other.

Section 10.2. Seller Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Transferred Employees shall cease to be credited with service and to accrue any benefits under The Dana Corporation Retirement Plan (the “Dana Retirement Plan”) and The Dana Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the “Dana Defined Contribution Plan”). Each Non-Union Transferred Employee participating in the Dana Retirement Plan shall be eligible to receive a distribution of his or her vested accrued benefits under the Dana Retirement Plan in accordance with the terms of the Dana Retirement Plan. Purchaser shall arrange to have the defined contribution plan or plans sponsored by Purchaser accept direct rollovers from the Dana Defined Contribution Plan and the Dana Retirement Plan in the form of cash, or in the case of Non-Union Transferred Employees who have an outstanding participant loan under the Dana Defined Contribution Plan at the Closing Date, in the form of a promissory note; provided, however, that rollovers of promissory notes shall not take place if either party determines in good faith such rollovers would jeopardize the tax-qualified status of either the Purchaser plan or the Dana Defined Contribution Plan or if such rollovers would be so materially inconsistent with the terms of Purchaser’s participant loan program that such promissory notes could not be accepted and held by the Purchaser plan. Purchaser shall not be required to amend its plan in any manner to accept such loan rollovers on any terms different from loans allowable under Purchaser’s plan as of the date of any such rollover. The parties hereto and their respective employee benefits counsel shall work together in good faith to accomplish the direct rollovers of participant loans as contemplated by this Section 10.2(a).

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, coverage for all Transferred Employees and their respective eligible dependents under the Seller Employee Benefit Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) (other than the Assumed Benefit Plans) (the “Seller Welfare Plans”) shall terminate, as of 12:01 a.m. (EST) on the Closing Date. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law (including the Bankruptcy Code) and except as set forth below with respect to Assumed Benefit Plans, the Seller Welfare Plans shall be liable only for claims incurred and benefits earned by the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser Welfare Plans shall be liable for claims incurred and benefits earned by Transferred Employees (and the eligible dependents of such Transferred Employees) under the Purchaser Welfare Plans on or after the Closing Date, and, in the case of an Assumed Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), that are properly payable under such Assumed Benefit Plan on or after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 10.2, a claim is “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that applicable medical or dental services are

rendered, drugs or medical equipment is purchased or, in the case of a continuous period of hospitalization or confinement, the date of commencement of such period of hospitalization or confinement (for purposes of health care programs).

(c) Seller will continue to administer the flexible spending accounts of any Transferred Employees who have such flexible spending accounts under any Seller Welfare Plan as of the Closing Date, for the remainder of the applicable plan year, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Seller Welfare Plan.

(d) Seller will offer and provide, as appropriate, group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of COBRA to all the current and former employees of Seller to whom they are required to offer the same under applicable Law.

Section 10.3. Assumed Benefit Plans.

(a) Purchaser shall assume sponsorship of each of the Seller Employee Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 10.3 (the “Assumed Benefit Plans”); provided, however, that with respect to any Assumed Benefit Plan that provides post-retirement welfare benefits to U.S. employees, the assumed liability shall be limited to all Liabilities relating to post-retirement welfare benefit plan coverage for (i) Union Transferred Employees and their dependents, and (ii) any former member of the collective bargaining units at the Seller’s Muskegon, Michigan, Caldwell, Ohio or Churubusco, Indiana facilities who retired prior to the Closing Date but who retired with eligibility for such post-retirement welfare benefit plan coverage under (A) the Muskegon collective bargaining agreement assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(c) on or after the July 16, 2004 effective date of the current Muskegon bargaining agreement; (B) the Caldwell collective bargaining agreement assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(c) on or after the November 6, 2001 effective date of the current Caldwell bargaining agreement; or (C) the Churubusco collective bargaining agreement assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1(c) on or after the May 6, 2002 effective date of the current Churubusco bargaining agreement, and (iii) dependents of such bargaining unit retirees, to the extent provided in the terms of the relevant assumed collective bargaining agreement. With respect to each Assumed Benefit Plan that is a funded retirement plan maintained in the United States and subject to ERISA (each, an “Assumed Pension Benefit Plan”), Purchaser agrees that:

(i) Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Seller on the Closing Date an Assumption Agreement in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit Q;

(ii) Purchaser shall establish or designate as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, a trust that is exempt from Tax under Code section 501(a) and satisfies the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement to receive the assets of the Assumed Pension Benefit Plan;

(iii) Purchaser shall continue to recognize, for all purposes service with Seller (or its predecessors) prior to the Closing Date to the extent that such service is recognized under the Assumed Pension Benefit Plan as in effect on such date; and

(iv) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a mutually acceptable succession agreement with respect to the Assumed Pension Benefit Plan signed by Purchaser and the trustee it has appointed.

(b) Upon receipt of such a succession agreement for an Assumed Pension Benefit Plan, Seller shall direct the trustee of the Assumed Pension Benefit Plan to transfer to the successor trustee appointed by Purchaser the assets of the Assumed Pension Benefit Plan (or in the case of an Assumed Pension Benefit Plan that is a U.S. defined benefit pension plan, direct the trustee of the Dana Corporation Pension Plans Trust to transfer, those assets of the Dana Pension Plans Trust allocable to such Assumed Pension Benefit Plan) as soon as practicable (but in no event earlier than forty-five (45) days) after Seller has received the succession agreement from Purchaser, along with all necessary approvals, authorizations, information or similar requirements to effect the transfer. Purchaser and Seller agree that, from the Closing Date to the date of transfer, the assets of the Dana Corporation Pension Plans Trust allocable to the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans shall continue to be invested in accordance with the investment policy and procedures pertaining to the Dana Corporation Pension Plans Trust; provided, however, that such assets may be converted to cash in the discretion of the trustee as may be necessary or desirable to effect such transfer. The assets transferred shall reflect gains, losses and expenses of the Dana Corporation Pension Plans Trust of the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans incurred from the Closing Date to the date of transfer.

(c) Purchaser and Seller agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, the assets of the Dana Corporation Pension Plans Trust allocable to the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans to be transferred in accordance with Section 10.3(b) above shall be determined by the enrolled actuary for the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) The Assumed Benefit Plan and the Purchaser shall be responsible for all Liabilities and obligations of the Assumed Benefit Plan, including, without limitation with respect to the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans, benefits accrued prior to the Closing Date for which Seller is liable prior to the Closing Date and, except as specifically set forth in Sections 10.3 and 10.5, benefits payable to any participants in such plans who retired or separated from service prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Solely for purposes of estimating the Liabilities to be assumed by Purchaser under any Assumed Benefit Plan which is an Assumed Pension Benefit Plan, such Liabilities shall mean, for purposes of this Section 10.3, the projected benefit obligation of each such Assumed Pension Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, determined under the projected unit credit method and in the manner provided in Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 as of the Closing Date, using a discount rate

equal to the Merrill Lynch 15 year Plus High Quality Corporate Bond Rate, as determined as of the Closing Date, and using all other assumptions relevant to the projected unit credit method (including, but not limited to, those concerning employee turnover rate, salary increases, retirement age, and so forth) that were used by the enrolled actuary for such Assumed Pension Benefit Plan in preparing its most recent actuarial report, and using the actual employee census data as of the Closing Date. Such calculation shall be performed by the enrolled actuary for such Assumed Pension Benefit Plan. Seller shall provide to Purchaser Seller’s calculation of such assumed Liabilities and the Net Funding Level, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 60 days following the receipt by such actuary of all data required to perform such calculations for each such Assumed Pension Benefit Plan. Following receipt of the calculation of such assumed Liabilities and the Net Funding Level, Purchaser will be afforded a period of 45 days to review (or to have an actuarial firm designated by Purchaser review) the calculation of such assumed Liabilities and the Net Funding Level, as well as the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate such Liabilities. Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the calculation of such assumed Liabilities and the Net Funding Level unless, prior to the expiration of such 45 day period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice and a reasonably detailed written explanation of those items in the calculations that Purchaser disputes, in which case the calculations, to the extent not affected by the disputed items, will be deemed to be accepted, and the items identified by Purchaser shall be deemed to be in dispute. Within a further period of 30 days from the end of the 45-day period referred to above, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items. In the event of a good faith dispute between Seller and Purchaser as to the amount of assumed Liabilities or the Net Funding Level, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly appoint, for final and binding resolution, an independent actuary, who shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to determine such assumed Liabilities pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 and the calculation of the Net Funding Level related thereto. One-half of the cost of the determination by the third party actuary shall be paid by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. The decision of the third party actuary shall be communicated to Purchaser and Seller in writing and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge for any reason (other than gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct). The Net Funding Level shall be the Net Funding Level agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.3(e) or the definitive Net Funding Level resulting from the determination made by third party actuary in accordance with this Section 10.3(e) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Seller and Purchaser).

(f) For the purposes of this Section 10.3, the “Net Funding Level” shall mean (a) the aggregate value of the assets of the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans that are transferred pursuant to Section 10.3(b), less (b) the aggregate value of the Liabilities to be assumed under the Assumed Pension Benefit Plans, as determined in accordance with Section 10.3(e).

(g) If the Net Funding Level is a positive amount, (i) Purchaser will pay Seller the amount of the Net Funding Level, together with interest thereon at the LIBOR rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, such payment to be made within ten days after the final determination of the Net Funding Level; provided, however, that, if

payment is not made within such ten-day period, the applicable rate of interest shall be increased by 2% per month for the period from the day following such date through the date such payment is made; and (ii) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow Agreement.

(h) If the Net Funding Level is a negative amount but is less than or equal to the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow, then that portion of the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow equal to the Net Funding Level shall be applied to cover the Net Funding Level and the Escrow Agent shall deliver such portion to the Purchaser and the remaining portion of the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow to Seller, in each case within ten days after the final determination of the Net Funding Level. If the Net Funding Level is a negative amount that is greater than the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow, then (i) the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow Agreement to Purchaser to cover the Net Funding Level and (ii) Seller will refund the amount equal to the Net Funding Level minus the Pensions Funding Adjustment Escrow, together with interest on such refunded amount at the LIBOR rate from the Closing Date through the date of payment, each such payment to be made within ten days after the final determination of the Net Funding Level; provided, however, that, if any such payment from Seller to Purchaser pursuant to clause (ii) above is not made within such ten-day period, the applicable rate of interest shall be increased by 2% per month for the period from the day following such date through the date such payment is made.

(i) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Purchaser from modifying or reducing benefits of any Transferred Employee including without limitation under, or terminating, any Assumed Benefit Plan consistent with Purchaser’s rights pursuant to applicable Law.

Section 10.4. Multiemployer Plans.

(a) Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations to make contributions to the Steelworkers Pension Trust covering Union Transferred Employees working in the Caldwell, Ohio facility and the IAM National Pension Fund covering workers in the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Pension Trust covering Union Transferred Employees working in the McConnelsville, Ohio facility (the “Multiemployer Plans”). Purchaser shall contribute to each such Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations of Seller for substantially the same number of contribution base units for which Seller has an obligation to contribute with respect to each such Multiemployer Plan immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) In the event that, following the Closing, Purchaser should completely or partially withdraw or be deemed to have completely or partially withdrawn from one or more Multiemployer Plan without exemption from withdrawal liability, Purchaser agrees that it shall be liable for the payment of any withdrawal liability assessed by such

Multiemployer Plan including, but not limited to, liability that relates to periods of participation in such Multiemployer Plan prior to Closing.

(c) Seller shall request from each Multiemployer Plan a statement (the “Withdrawal Liability Statement”) setting forth the amount of withdrawal liability (if any) Seller would incur as of the Closing Date, under Part 1 of Subtitle E of ERISA, if Seller withdrew, or were deemed to have withdrawn completely, from such Multiemployer Plan as of said date without an exemption from such withdrawal liability. Seller hereby agrees to deliver a copy of the Withdrawal Liability Statements to Purchaser promptly upon the receipt thereof. If the Withdrawal Liability Statement sets forth any potential withdrawal liability, Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate on and take such further actions as they may mutually agree are needed under Section 4204 of ERISA to avoid the assessment of withdrawal liability against Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of avoiding any withdrawal liability under Section 4204 of ERISA that would otherwise occur as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller agrees that if Purchaser withdraws in a complete withdrawal, or a partial withdrawal with respect to operations during the first five plan years after the Closing, the Seller shall be secondarily liable for any withdrawal liability it would have had to the respective Multiemployer Plan with respect to such operations (but for Section 4204 of ERISA) if the liability of the Purchaser with respect to such Multiemployer Plan is not paid. Purchaser and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain from the Multiemployer Plan an exemption pursuant to PBGC Regulation Sections 4204.11(a), 4204.12, 4204.13, or 4204.21 from the requirement that Purchaser post any bond or escrow which would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA. If the parties cannot obtain such an exemption from the bonding requirement after good faith efforts, Purchaser agrees to post a bond or escrow in an amount, for a period, and in a form which complies with Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, and Purchaser shall furnish Seller proof thereof. The cost of each bond or escrow required under Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA shall be paid by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be the sole obligor thereunder.

(d) If the Withdrawal Liability Statement from the Multiemployer Plan sets forth any potential withdrawal liability for Seller, and at any time during the period of five plan years, commencing with the first plan year of such Multiemployer Plan beginning after the Closing, a bond is required from Seller in favor of such Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Section 4204(a)(3) of ERISA by reason of a liquidation or distribution of Seller’s assets, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, post such bond in an amount and in a form which complies with Section 4024(a)(3) or obtain a variance from such bonding requirement from the Multiemployer Plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Section 10.5. Non-U.S. Employee Matters.

Except as provided below, Acquired Company Employees and Closing Date Employees located outside the United States shall be treated, to the extent permissible under local Law, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4.

(a) Seller shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with the pension schemes maintained in the United Kingdom for the benefit of Business Employees who work in the United Kingdom, and shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses arising in connection with such pension schemes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Losses which relate to the period after Closing where such Losses would not have arisen but for the membership of any Business Employee in any such pension scheme but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Liability arising as a result of any obligation on Purchaser and its Affiliates in respect of the Business Employees pursuant to Section 258 of the United Kingdom Pensions Act 2004) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Seller undertakes, from and after the date hereof and following Closing, (i) not to exercise, (ii) to cause its Affiliates in the United Kingdom not to exercise, and (iii) to use all reasonable efforts to procure that no trustee of a Dana Pension Scheme will exercise, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, any power or discretion (however expressed and from whatever source) to allow a Business Employee to commence a pension before the age at which a pension normally commences payment under such Dana Pension Scheme. For purposes of this Section 10.5(b), “Dana Pension Scheme” means the Dana UK Pension Scheme, the Dana Manufacturing Pension Scheme, the Hobourn Group Pension Scheme, and any other pension scheme which Seller or its Affiliates in the United Kingdom maintain or maintained for the benefit of the Business Employees.

(c) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with all Assumed Benefit Plans maintained for non-U.S. Transferred Employees Related to the Business, including but not limited to, the pension obligations for Transferred Employees in Germany, the IDR obligations for Transferred Employees in France, and the TFR obligations for Transferred Employees in Italy.

(d) Seller, its Selling Affiliates and the Acquired Company and Purchaser shall cooperate to take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms, or timing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with each works council, union, labor organization, employee group, employee, or governmental entity where so required under applicable Law.

(e) Sellers and its Affiliates shall be responsible for and shall pay all Liabilities associated with any early retirement pension for former Business Employees who worked in Argentina and who retired prior to the Closing Date.

Section 10.6. Further Assurances; Further Conveyances and Assumptions; Consent of Third Parties.

(a) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to

assure fully to Purchaser, its Designated Affiliates and their respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser and its Designated Affiliates under this Agreement, the Business Transfer Agreements and the agreements which form Exhibits hereto and to assure fully to Seller and its Subsidiaries and their successors and assigns, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and any Liabilities to be assumed by Purchaser or its Designated Affiliates under this Agreement, the Business Transfer Agreements and the agreements which form Exhibits hereto, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including (i) transferring back to Seller or the applicable Subsidiary of Seller any Excluded Asset, and (ii) transferring to Purchaser or the applicable Designated Affiliate any asset or Liability contemplated by this Agreement to be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was not transferred to Purchaser or the applicable Designated Affiliate at the Closing).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law, as modified by the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Body or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and the Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller, to obtain each such consent or approval. Purchaser shall bear any costs and expenses associated with obtaining any such consents or approvals in connection with the acquisition of that part of the Business conducted in Slovakia (other than fees of counsel and other advisory fees incurred by Seller and its Affiliates, which shall be borne by Seller and its Affiliates).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until any consent or approval with respect to any Nonassignable Asset is obtained, such Nonassignable Asset shall not constitute a Purchased Asset and any Liability shall not, to the extent associated with such Nonassignable Asset, constitute an Assumed Liability for any purpose under this Agreement.

(d) To the extent permitted by Law, pending the obtaining of such consent or approval with respect to a Nonassignable Asset, Seller or its applicable Subsidiary shall (i) continue to be bound by any Contracts, terms or arrangements relating to such Nonassignable Asset, (ii) at the direction and expense of Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, pay, perform and discharge fully all of its obligations in respect thereof, (iii) exercise and exploit its rights and options under all relevant agreements, Contracts and arrangements in respect of such Nonassignable Asset as reasonably directed by Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, and (iv) for no additional consideration, pay, assign and remit to Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate promptly all monies, rights, assets and other consideration received in respect of such Nonassignable Asset or otherwise make available to Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate the benefit of such Nonassignable Asset.

(e) Once such consent or approval is obtained with respect to a Nonassignable Asset, Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate, and Purchaser or its Designated Affiliate shall assume any Assumed Liability associated with such Nonassignable Asset, for no additional consideration.

Section 10.7. Record Retention, Access to Documents.

(a) For a period of eight (8) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Seller’s representatives, upon reasonable notice and without undue interruption to Purchaser’s business, access during normal business hours to the books and records (including any such books and records in electronic format maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates or agents in which case, Purchaser shall provide personnel, at Seller’s expense, to screen and retrieve data requested by Seller) of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Company) pertaining to the operations of the Business prior to the Closing Date in connection with (i) the preparation of financial statements, (ii) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations, (iii) Excluded Liabilities, (iv) Excluded Assets, (v) the contest or defense by Seller of Legal Proceedings and investigations, and (vi) the Bankruptcy Cases (including, without limitation, with respect to reconciliation of claims in connection with the Cases). With respect to clause (a)(vi), such books and records shall include, without limitation, purchase orders, receipts, invoices, purchasing cards, inventory records, debit memos, bills of lading and quality rejection slips and Purchaser shall provide, upon reasonable notice and without undue interruption to Purchaser’s business, access during normal business hours in connection with the foregoing to accounts payable clerks or controllers, receiving persons, purchasing and quality manager personnel. Seller shall have the right to receive and retain copies of all such books and records. If Purchaser desires to destroy, alter or dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such eight-year period, Purchaser shall, prior to such disposition, give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records to the extent that they pertain to the operations of the Business prior to the Closing.

(b) For a period of eight (8) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Purchaser’s representatives, upon reasonable notice and without undue interruption to Seller’s business, access during normal business hours to the books and records (including any such books and records in electronic format maintained by Seller or its Affiliates or agents in which case, Seller shall provide personnel, at Purchaser’s expense, to screen and retrieve data requested by Purchaser) of Seller and its Subsidiaries to the extent pertaining to the Business which Seller or any of its Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall have the right to receive and retain copies of all such books and records. If Seller desires to destroy, alter or dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such eight-year period, Seller shall, prior to such disposition, give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity, at Purchaser’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records to the extent that they pertain to the Business.

(c) For two (2) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide (at Seller’s sole risk, cost and reasonable expense) such assistance to Seller as Seller may reasonably request with respect to (i) the preparation of Seller’s financial statements and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations, (ii) the preparation of Seller’s Department of Labor reports, and (iii) Seller’s reporting obligations pursuant to the Losses, in each case, relating to the operation of the Business prior to the Closing.

Section 10.8. No Right to Continued Employment.

Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee of Seller or its Affiliates any right to employment or continued employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates, or any right to benefits or continued benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan, including without limitation severance benefits, by reason of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 11.1. Survival.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article.

(b) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which it seeks indemnification hereunder.

(c) In calculating any amount of Losses recoverable pursuant to this Article XI, the amount of such Losses shall be reduced by: (i) any insurance proceeds actually received from any unaffiliated insurance carrier offsetting the amount of such Loss, net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such insurance proceeds (provided that the Indemnified Party shall be obligated to reasonably seek any such proceeds to which it may be entitled); (ii) any recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification (or otherwise) with respect thereto, net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such third party payment; and (iii) any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses for which such indemnification payment is made, and shall be increased by any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party on the accrual or the receipt of the indemnity payment (other than Taxes resulting from a reduction in Tax basis). If any Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder are subsequently reduced by any insurance payment or other recovery from a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit the amount of such reduction to the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary Losses.

(e) Anything in this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, indemnification for any and all Tax matters and the procedures with respect thereto shall be governed exclusively by Article XIV.

Section 11.2. Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnified Group harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including the reasonable actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Article IV;

(ii) any breach of, or default in the performance by Seller of, any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller herein, subject to the limitations and conditions contained therein;

(iii) any Excluded Liabilities; and

(iv) the matters set forth on Schedule 11.2(a)(iv) (the “ARC Product Issue”), it being expressly understood that Seller expressly disputes any claim that ARC bears any responsibility for Losses arising out of the ARC Product Issue; provided, however, that Seller’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Section 11.2(a)(iv) with respect to any claim for Losses shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.2(b) and (c) and Sections 11.6(b)(c), (d), and (e).

(b) ARC shall, solely for the purposes of indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) above, be deemed to be a member of the Purchaser Indemnified Group. The receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Group of the benefits of indemnification by Seller under Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall be subject in all cases to this Article XI.

(c) With respect solely to the matters set forth in Section 11.2(a)(iv), the Purchaser Indemnified Group’s rights to indemnification shall, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 11.2(c), be limited to 50% of the monetary value of the relevant Losses (the “50% Limit”). With respect solely to the matters set forth in Section 11.2(a)(iv), the term “Losses” shall include any diminution in value of the Transferred JV Interests in ARC that may be suffered by Purchaser or such of its Designated Affiliates that is or are, at the relevant time, the owner or owners of the Transferred JV Interests in ARC (“Diminution Losses”). Seller will have no liability for any Diminution Losses to the extent such Diminution Losses exceed Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000). An indemnification claim brought by a member of the Purchaser Indemnified Group (other than, for these purposes, ARC) pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall, solely to the extent it

seeks to recover Diminution Losses, not be subject to the 50% Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, any recovery by Purchaser or any of its Designated Affiliates of any Diminution Losses shall count against the ARC Product Indemnity Cap. The Purchaser Indemnified Group as a whole shall not, as a result of claims brought for Diminution Losses as well as other Losses, be entitled to recover monetary damages more than once between them in respect of the same underlying monetary Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, if a claim for Diminution Losses is made against Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek the determination of the Expert Arbitrator in respect of such Third Party ARC Claim in accordance with Section 11.6(c) — (h), notwithstanding that Seller may not have been previously afforded the opportunity to defend or challenge the underlying Third Party ARC Claim.

(d) Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Group harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of Purchaser herein;

(ii) any breach of, or default in the performance by Purchaser of, any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser herein, subject to the limitations and conditions contained therein; and

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

Section 11.3. Time Limitations.

(a) If the Closing occurs, Seller will have no Liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with before the Closing Date or (ii) a representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.10), unless on or before the date falling eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser notifies Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Purchaser. A claim with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 4.10 shall survive until the date which is 90 days after the date upon which the Liability to which any claim for breach of such representations and warranties may relate is barred by all applicable statutes of limitations (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive). A claim with respect to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement based upon any covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date may be made at any time.

(b) If the Closing occurs, Purchaser will have no Liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with before the Closing Date or (ii) a representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5), unless on or before the date falling eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Seller notifies Purchaser of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. A claim with respect to Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5 or a claim for indemnification or

reimbursement based upon any covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date may be made at any time.

Section 11.4. Limitations on Amount — Seller.

Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters governed by Section 11.2(a)(i) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply before the Closing Date, Section 11.2(a)(ii) (i) unless the monetary value of any Losses with respect to a particular matter, when aggregated with other Losses based on substantially the same facts or circumstances, exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), and (ii) until the total monetary value of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), in which case Seller shall be liable for just the excess provided, however, that Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for the amount by which the total monetary value of all Losses (i) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than those in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.10) or matters governed by Section 11.2(a)(ii) exceeds, Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or (ii) for breaches of representations and warranties in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.10 exceeds Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for the amount by which the total monetary value of all Losses for matters governed by Section 11.2(a)(iv) exceeds Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “ARC Product Indemnity Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section will not apply to (a) Seller’s breach of any of its representations and warranties of which breach Seller had Knowledge before the date on which Seller made such representation and warranty (after giving effect to any supplements to Seller’s Schedules), or (b) Seller’s intentional breach of any covenant or obligation; Seller will be liable for all Losses with respect to such breaches.

Section 11.5. Limitations on Amount — Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters governed by Sections 11.2(d)(i) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply before the Closing Date, Section 11.2(b)(ii) (i) unless the monetary value of any Losses with respect to a particular matter, when aggregated with other Losses based on substantially the same facts or circumstances, exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), and (ii) until the total monetary value of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds $500,000, in which case Purchaser shall be liable for just the excess; provided, however, that Purchaser will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for the amount by which the total monetary value of all Losses (i) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than those in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5) or matters governed by Section 11.2(d)(ii) exceeds an amount equal Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or (ii) for breaches of representations and warranties in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 exceeds Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section will not apply to (a) Purchaser’s breach of any of its other representations and warranties of which breach Purchaser had knowledge before the date on which it made such representation and warranty, or (b) Purchaser’s intentional breach of any covenant or obligation; Purchaser will be liable for all Losses with respect to such breaches.

Section 11.6. Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article XI, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided, however, that in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give such notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party not later than ten Business Days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim is required, if possible, and in any event within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof; provided, further, that no delay or failure to give such notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may (subject to Section 1.8 and except with respect to the ARC Product Issue, in respect of which Sections 11.6(c), (d), and (e) shall apply) at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof by written notice within 30 calendar days, using counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to take all steps necessary in the defense thereof including the settlement of any case that involves solely monetary damages without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its choice without

any right of control thereof. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party as provided herein, shall not consent to, or enter into, any compromise or settlement of (which settlement (i) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or (ii) does not provide for a full and complete written release by such third party of the Indemnified Party), or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not relate solely to monetary damages arising from, any such claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Article XI, including, but not limited to, by providing (except with respect to the ARC Product Issue, in respect of which Sections 11.6(c), (d), and (e) shall apply) the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information. So long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith defending such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or Legal Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or Legal Proceeding (after giving prior written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may reasonably deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3.

(b) The parties acknowledge that Seller expressly disputes any claim that ARC bears any responsibility for any losses that may be suffered or incurred by third parties arising out of or in connection with the ARC Product Issue.

(c) Whenever any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party is brought against ARC in connection with the ARC Product Issue (a “Third Party ARC Claim”), Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of such Third Party ARC Claim not later than ten Business Days prior to the time any response to the asserted Third Party ARC Claim is required, if possible, and in any event within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party ARC Claim. Upon receipt by Seller of such notice, Seller may at its election either (i) promptly acknowledge that such Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim or (ii) cooperate with Purchaser in good faith for a period of ten (10) Business Days in an attempt to mutually agree that such Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim. If following that ten (10) Business Day period, Seller and Purchaser have not been able to mutually agree that such Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim, then Seller shall be and remain liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv), and shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Group for any Losses in accordance therewith, unless and until a determination is made by an expert single arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section 11.6(c) (the “Expert Arbitrator”), in arbitration proceedings conducted pursuant

to Section 11.6(e) below, that the relevant Third Party ARC Claim is not a Valid Claim. If the Seller wishes the Expert Arbitrator to determine whether a Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Purchaser and the parties will seek in good faith to mutually agree on the identity of the Expert Arbitrator. Failing such agreement within thirty (30) Business Days from the date of receipt by Purchaser of such notice from Seller, the Expert Arbitrator will be selected pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Expert Arbitrator shall, whether agreed by the parties or selected pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, be a single arbitrator who has not less than 7 years’ experience practicing as an attorney-at-law in the United States in the dispute resolution field and who has not less than 10 years’ particularized knowledge regarding product liability and recall claims in the automotive industry in the United States.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Valid Claim” shall be a Third Party ARC Claim that is either mutually agreed by the parties in writing, or determined by the Expert Arbitrator, in arbitration proceedings conducted pursuant to Section 11.6(e) below, to be a claim in respect of which it cannot be said that the relevant third party has no real prospect of succeeding in its claim if the matter were to come before a court or arbitral body of competent jurisdiction.

(e) In the event that Seller wishes the determination of the Expert Arbitrator as to whether a Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim pursuant to Section 11.6(c), the arbitration conducted by the Expert Arbitrator shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the determination rendered by the Expert Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties will jointly advise the Expert Arbitrator that they desire an expedited arbitration process that will, to the extent practicable, result in any arbitration award being entered within three (3) months of confirmation of the Expert Arbitrator’s appointment. If the Expert Arbitrator determines that the relevant Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim, Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) in respect of such Third Party ARC Claim shall not be qualified by Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e). If the Expert Arbitrator determines that the relevant Third Party ARC Claim is not a Valid Claim, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such determination, pay to Seller an amount equal to the amount of any Losses in respect of which Seller has prior to the date thereof indemnified the Purchaser Indemnified Group pursuant to Sections 11.2(a)(iv) and 11.6(c) in respect of such Third Party ARC Claim.

(f) Any Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Group as a result of a Third Party Claim being the subject of a decision or award in favor of the relevant third party by a court or arbitral body of competent jurisdiction shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e) hereof, and Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall not be qualified by Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e).

(g) The parties acknowledge that from Closing ARC will not be a controlled Affiliate of Purchaser and that, accordingly, Purchaser may not be able to procure that Seller is able to assume the defense of Third Party ARC Claims, or that Seller has

unfettered access to employees and officers of ARC and other information of ARC in connection with Third Party ARC Claims. Purchaser agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts (including without limitation by exercise of its rights as a shareholder of ARC) to cause ARC (a) to reasonably cooperate with Seller and Seller’s insurance providers to process any Third Party ARC Claim, and (b) to permit Seller to assume the defense of Third Party ARC Claims.

(h) If Purchaser, notwithstanding that from Closing ARC will not be a controlled Affiliate of Purchaser, is able to cause ARC to agree in writing at the relevant time to permit Seller to assume the defense of a Third Party ARC Claim, using counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and ARC, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(a), then Seller shall have no right to seek to have the Expert Arbitrator make any determination and Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall not be qualified by Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e). For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller is permitted by ARC to assume the defense of a Third Party ARC Claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(a), but Seller elects not to assume such defense or fails to give written notice so to assume within 30 calendar days after receipt of such permission from ARC, then Seller shall have no right to seek to have the Expert Arbitrator make any determination as to whether the relevant Third Party ARC Claim is a Valid Claim and Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) shall not be qualified by Sections 11.6(c), (d) and (e).

Section 11.7. Exclusive Remedy.

Except in the case of fraud by any party or any acts by Purchaser in violation of Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as provided in Article XIII with respect to the Breakup Fee, the Expense Reimbursement and the Deposit Amount and in Article XIV with respect to Taxes, Purchaser and Seller agree that the provisions set forth in this Article XI, the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement for the Indemnity Escrow shall be their sole and exclusive remedy for any claims or causes of action for money damages arising out of, based upon or resulting from the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and waive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any and all such other claims or causes of action for money damages, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether asserted at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or limit any remedy Seller may have for any breach by Purchaser of Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 11.8. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local, or foreign Law), Seller, Purchaser, the Acquired Company and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Article XI as an adjustment to the Final Consideration for all Tax purposes. Seller and Purchaser agree, for all Tax purposes, to allocate any such adjustment among the Acquired Company and/or the Purchased Assets based upon the item or items to which such adjustment is principally attributable.

Section 11.9. Escrow; Right of Setoff.

Purchaser shall have the rights of setoff as provided in the Escrow Agreement for the Indemnity Escrow. Neither the exercise or nor the failure to exercise such rights of setoff or to give notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement for the Indemnity Escrow will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

ARTICLE XII

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date; Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to,

(c) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, solicit any Acquired Company Employee or Transferred Employee (at a time when such person is an employee of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries) to terminate his or her employment relationship with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from advertising publicly or from employing persons who respond to any such advertising whether or not such persons are then employed by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, or from employing any individual who contacts Seller or any of its Subsidiaries on an unsolicited basis.

Section 12.2. Non-solicitation of Seller Employees.

Purchaser covenants and agrees that for a period of two years following the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1 it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, solicit any employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (at a time when such person is an employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) to terminate his or her employment relationship with Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries from advertising publicly or making other general solicitations or from employing persons who respond to any such advertising or solicitation

whether or not such persons are then employed by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or from employing any individual who contacts Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries on an unsolicited basis.

(b) Breakup Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(e), Seller shall pay to Purchaser a fee (the “Breakup Fee”) equal to Two Percent (2%) of the Initial Cash Consideration, such fee to be payable on the closing of the Alternative Transaction. No Breakup Fee shall be payable to the extent the closing of the Alternative Transaction does not occur. Such payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to be paid the Breakup Fee from the first proceeds of the Alternative Transaction for any of the Purchased Shares or Purchased Assets. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Breakup Fee represents Purchaser’s fee for its work in establishing a bid standard or minimum for other Qualified Bids and for serving, by its name and its expressed interest, as a catalyst for other Qualified Bids.

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(e) or (ii) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) or Section 13.1(f)(i), Seller shall pay or reimburse Purchaser for all of Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ actual out-of-pocket costs, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of consultants, financial advisors, accountants and attorneys), incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not incurred before or after the date of this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed One Percent (1%) of the Initial Cash Consideration (the “Expense Reimbursement”), such reimbursement to be payable, in

the case of a termination pursuant to Section 13.1(e), on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Alternative Transaction, and (ii) the consummation of the plan of reorganization by the Debtors, and, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) or Section 13.1(f)(i), within ten (10) Business Days after such termination. Purchaser shall present reasonable supporting documentation for the Expense Reimbursement.

(d) Release of Deposit.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 13.1(a), 13.1(b)(i), 13.1(c), 13.1(d), 13.1(e), 13.1(f), 13.1(g)(i), 13.1(h), 13.1(i), 13.1(j), 13.1(k) or 13.1(l) the Deposit Agent will wire transfer the Deposit Amount to an account designated by Purchaser.

(ii) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 13.1(b)(ii) or 13.1(g)(ii) the Deposit Agent will wire transfer the Deposit Amount to an account designated by Seller.

(iii) In the event the terms of this Section 13.2(c) conflict with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 13.1 in circumstances in which the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement are payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.2, the return of the Deposit Amount pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser, whether at law or in equity, for any breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement; provided, however, that if either (a) Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) or Section 13.1(f)(i) as a result of a willful breach by Seller of its obligations set forth in this Agreement, or (b) this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to Section 13.1(f)(ii) or Section 13.1(g)(i) as a result of the conditions set forth in paragraph 1 of Schedule 8.6 or paragraph 1 of Schedule 9.6 not being satisfied, then Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for damages occasioned by such breach in an amount that does not exceed an amount equal to One Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,950,000). If this Agreement is terminated by Seller in circumstances in which the Deposit Amount is payable to Seller pursuant to Section 13.2(d), the forfeiture of the entire Deposit Amount pursuant to Section 13.2(d)(ii) hereof shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller or its bankruptcy estate, whether at law or in equity, for any breach, other than a breach of Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. The parties agree that the amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall be in the nature of liquidated damages. In the event of a breach by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, Seller shall be entitled to keep the Deposit Amount and to pursue any other remedies available under Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order by the Bankruptcy Court is a condition precedent to Sellers’ obligation to pay, and payment of, the Breakup Fee and Expense Reimbursement as

otherwise required by this Section 13.2. Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the obligations of Seller to pay the Breakup Fee and the Expense Reimbursement shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall be entitled to superpriority administrative expense claim status in the Cases, senior to all other superpriority administrative expense claims in the Cases, other than those arising out of the Seller Financing, and payable without further order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Bidding Procedures Order, and the obligation to pay the Breakup Fee and the Expense Reimbursement in full in cash when due shall not be discharged, modified, or otherwise affected by any plan of reorganization or liquidation for Seller.

ARTICLE XIV

TAX MATTERS

Section 14.1. Tax Indemnification.

(a) To the extent not paid or accrued (including the payment of estimated Taxes) before Closing or reflected on the Closing Statement of Net Assets, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates and hold them harmless from all liability for (A) Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes arising from or in connection with any breach by Seller of any covenant contained in this Article XIV (but only to the extent appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand); (C) Seller’s responsibility for any Transfer Taxes in accordance with Section 14.9; and (D) all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, attributable to any item in clauses (A) through (C).

(b) Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and hold them harmless from all liability for (A) any and all Taxes imposed on or payable with respect to the Acquired Company or the Business, other than Excluded Taxes, (B) Purchaser’s responsibility for any Transfer Taxes in accordance with Section 14.9, (C) Taxes arising from or in connection with any breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in this Article XIV (but only to the extent appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand) and (D) all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, attributable to any item in clauses (A) through (C).

(c) Any indemnity payment to be made pursuant to this Section 14.1 shall be paid no later than the latest of (i) ten (10) days after the indemnified party makes written demand upon the indemnifying party, (ii) five (5) days prior to the date on which the underlying amount is required to be paid by the indemnified party, and (iii) five (5) days after any dispute about the liability for or amount of such indemnity payment is resolved.

(d) The indemnification provisions in this Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing until 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the Tax giving rise to the claim for indemnification.

(e) The Closing Statement of Net Assets is to reflect (i) prepaid Property Taxes as an asset and (ii) accrued Property Taxes as a liability. The parties agree that all

Property Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Acquired Company will be pro-rated as of the Closing Date and that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the economic burden of any such Property Tax will be borne by Seller for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including the portion of a Straddle Period through the Closing Date) and by Purchaser for all Post-Closing Tax Periods (including the portion of a Straddle Period after the Closing Date) . Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) if Seller or any of its Affiliates pays (either before or after Closing) any such Property Tax with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser will reimburse Seller upon demand for the amount of such Property Tax to the extent it is not reflected as an asset on the Closing Statement of Net Assets; and (ii) if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pays (after Closing) any such Property Tax with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller will reimburse Purchaser upon demand for the amount of such Property Tax to the extent it is not reflected as a liability on the Closing Statement of Net Assets.

Section 14.2. Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(a) Seller shall timely prepare and file or shall cause to be timely prepared and filed: (i) any combined, consolidated, unitary or similar Tax Return that includes the Acquired Company and Seller or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any other Tax Return for any Income Tax of the Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period which is included within a Straddle Period; and (iii) any other Tax Returns with respect to the Business which are due prior to the Closing Date (taking into account valid extensions of the time to file). Purchaser shall not (and shall not cause the Acquired Company to) amend or revoke such Tax Returns (or any notification or election relating thereto).

(b) Except as permitted by this Agreement or required by applicable Law, Seller shall not take, and shall procure that after the Closing Date none of its Affiliates will take, any action, or omit to take any action, that could result in any increase or acceleration in the due date in connection with the Taxes of the Acquired Company.

(c) Purchaser shall, except to the extent that such Tax Returns are the responsibility of Seller under Section 14.2(a), timely prepare and file or shall cause to be timely prepared and filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Company and the Purchased Assets (other than Tax Returns of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries excluding the Acquired Company). For any Tax Return of the Acquired Company that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that is the responsibility of Purchaser under this Section 14.2(c), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practices of the Acquired Company and with respect to the Purchased Assets and in the case of any Income Tax or Property Tax, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller for its review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a copy of such proposed Tax Return (accompanied, in the case of a Straddle Period Tax Return, by an allocation between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period of the Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Return) at least thirty Business Days prior to the due date (giving effect to any validly obtained extensions) thereof. Purchaser shall reflect in good faith any comments

received from Seller within ten Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such Tax Return. Purchaser shall not amend or revoke any Straddle Period Tax Return (or any notification or election relating thereto) without Seller’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for any overpayment of Taxes with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including by reason of the payment of any estimated Taxes by Seller or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 14.2(c), Seller shall not be deemed to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay approval or consent if such approval or consent may have the effect of increasing Seller’s indemnification liability under this Agreement or otherwise result in a cost, not reimbursed by Purchaser, to Seller or its Affiliates.

(d) The parties shall provide each other with such powers of attorney or other authorizing documentation as are reasonably necessary to authorize them to execute and file Tax Returns they are responsible for under this Agreement, file refund and equivalent claims for Taxes they are responsible for under this Agreement, and contest, settle, and resolve any audits and disputes over which they have control under this Article XIV.

Section 14.3. Refunds, Credits and Carrybacks.

(a) Seller shall be entitled to any refunds of, and the benefit of any prepayment or credits of or against, any Excluded Taxes, and shall be entitled to the benefits of any Tax prepayments made or other deductions or credits earned during a Pre-Closing Tax Period but applied against Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes. Purchaser shall, at Seller’s reasonable request and at Seller’s expense, cause the relevant entity to file for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any refund to which Seller is entitled. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, and subject to Section 14.3(c), Purchaser shall be entitled to any refunds of, and the benefit of any prepayments or credits of or against, any Taxes of the Acquired Company and the Business relating to Post-Closing Tax Periods.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Company to, promptly forward to Seller or reimburse Seller for any refunds or the use of any prepayments, deductions or credits of Taxes due Seller (pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV) after receipt thereof, and Seller shall promptly forward to Purchaser or reimburse Purchaser for any refunds or credits of Taxes due Purchaser (pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV) after receipt thereof.

(c) Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Company to elect, where permitted by applicable Law, to carry forward any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in or is attributable to any taxable period ending after the Closing Date and is not used in such period. Without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not cause or permit the Acquired Company to carry back to any Pre-Closing Tax Period any item of loss, deduction or credit which arises in or is attributable to any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 14.3(c), Seller shall not be deemed to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent if such consent may have the effect of

increasing Seller’s indemnification liability under this Agreement or otherwise result in a cost to Seller, not reimbursed by Purchaser, or its Affiliates.

Section 14.4. Tax Contests.

(a) If any taxing authority asserts a Tax Claim in respect of the Acquired Company, then the party hereto first receiving notice of such Tax Claim shall provide written notice thereof to the other party or parties hereto within fourteen (14) calendar days; provided, however, that the failure of such party to give timely notice shall not relieve the other party of any of its obligations under this Article XIV, except to the extent that the other party is rendered unable to timely and adequately contest the subject Tax (without being required first to pay all or part of the subject Tax) or to adequately defend against or prosecute the Tax Claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the taxing authority.

(b) Seller shall have the right to control any audit, examination, contest, litigation or other proceeding by or against any taxing authority (a “Tax Proceeding”) of the Acquired Company for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date or for any taxable period of Seller or any of its Affiliates during which any combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return includes the Acquired Company and Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Proceeding solely in respect of the Acquired Company that would reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse impact on Purchaser and its Affiliates (i.e., one for which Purchaser and its Affiliates are not entitled to indemnification under this Article XIV), (i) Seller shall consult with Purchaser before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Seller shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (iii) Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) In the case of a Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period of the Acquired Company, Purchaser shall have the right to control such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each phase of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Purchaser shall consult with Seller before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iii) Purchaser shall consult with Seller and offer Seller an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (iv) Purchaser shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (v) Seller shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding, at its own expense, if such Tax Proceeding could have an adverse impact on Seller or any of its Affiliates and (vi) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of Seller if such settlement, compromise or abandonment would have an adverse impact on Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding involving the Acquired Company other than a Tax Proceeding described in Sections 14.4(b) or 14.4(c); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding, if such action would reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse impact on Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

Section 14.5. Cooperation.

Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the other party hereto with such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (a) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (b) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under this Article XIV or a right to refund of Taxes, (c) conducting any Tax Proceeding or (d) determining an allocation of Taxes between a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant accompanying schedules and work papers (or portions thereof) and other supporting documentation, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and any other relevant information, which any such party may possess. Each party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the relevant entities for their respective Tax periods ending on or prior to or including the Closing Date until the later of (x) the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (y) eight years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other party reasonable notice and opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other party’s own expense. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

Section 14.6. Net Operating Losses and Timing Differences.

Purchaser agrees that if an adjustment pursuant to a Tax Proceeding and in connection with any Excluded Tax increases the amount of depreciation, amortization or other deductions allowable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in one or more taxable periods following the date of the adjustment, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of any Tax benefit realized from such increased depreciation, amortization or other deductions within thirty (30) calendar days of filing the Tax Return in which such Tax benefit is realized or utilized. The Tax benefit realized by Purchaser with respect to such future deductions shall be deemed to be equal to the product of (i) the net present value of the additional deductions allowable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates as a result of the adjustment (using a discount rate equal to the prime rate of interest announced publicly by JPMorgan Chase Bank on the date of the adjustment) and (ii) the highest marginal Tax rate in effect in the year during which the adjustment is made.

Section 14.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local, or foreign Law), Seller, Purchaser, the Acquired Company and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Article XIV as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes. Seller and Purchaser agree, for all Tax purposes, to allocate any such adjustment among the Acquired Company and/or the Purchased Assets based upon the item or items to which such adjustment is principally attributable.

Section 14.8. Additional Tax Covenants.

Purchaser shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates not to make, an election under Section 338(g) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (or any comparable election applicable Tax Law) with respect to the Acquired Company without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes of this Section 14.8, Seller shall not be deemed to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent if such consent may have the effect of increasing Seller’s indemnification liability under this Agreement or otherwise result in a cost to Seller, not reimbursed by Purchaser, or its Affiliates.

Section 14.9. Transfer Taxes.

To the extent that any sales, use, registration, transfer (including all stock transfer and all real estate transfer and conveyance and recording fees, if any), stamp, stamp duty reserve, stamp duty land tax, VAT, or other similar Taxes and all notarial fees (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) that may be imposed upon, payable, collectible or incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby are recoverable (by way of refund, credit, or otherwise) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from the relevant tax authorities under applicable Law, such Transfer Taxes shall be paid entirely by Purchaser. Any Transfer Taxes that are not recoverable by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in the execution and filing of any Tax Returns, affidavits or other documents relating to any Transfer Taxes.

Section 14.10. Other Agreements.

After the Closing, this Article XIV shall supersede any and all Tax-sharing or similar agreements to which (i) the Acquired Company and (ii) Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Company) are parties. Neither the Acquired Company nor Seller (and/or such Affiliates) shall have any obligation or right with respect to each other under any such prior agreement after the Closing.
