Seller and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts (including the dedication of resources thereto, but without any obligation to expend money, commence litigation or offer or grant any financial or other accommodation to any third party) to obtain the consent, approval or waiver of, or provide the required notice to, such third parties to or of the assignment to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) of any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or otherwise transfer the rights and benefits of any Non-assignable Asset (as defined below) to Buyer or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate, including, in the case of any non-transferable Permits, to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to issue a new Permit to Buyer or its Affiliate in place of such non-transferable Permit and with respect to prime Government Contracts, to obtain all necessary approval and consent of the applicable U.S. federal Governmental Authority to novate such prime Government Contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.12. If such consent, approval or waiver is not obtained, or such notice is not made, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates thereunder so that Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) would not in fact receive all such rights, or if such asset is not transferable under Applicable Law with or without such consent, approval, waiver or notice (any assets so described, the “ Non-assignable Assets ”), Seller and Buyer will use their commercially reasonable efforts (but without any obligation to expend money, commence litigation or offer or grant any financial or other accommodation to any third party) to enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Buyer would assume the obligations and Seller would provide to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) the benefits of any Non-assignable Asset, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)), and with respect to the prime Government Contracts, entering into and taking commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required approvals or consents of any U.S. federal Governmental Authority to the Subcontract prior to the Closing Date), or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)), with Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) assuming Seller’s (or such Affiliate’s) obligations under such Non-assignable Asset, any and all rights of Seller or such Affiliate against a third party thereto. In connection with any such arrangement, Buyer shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any mutually

agreeable arrangement or that otherwise would have been incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates had such Non-assignable Asset been assigned, transferred or conveyed as contemplated by this Agreement, including any Liability arising out of Buyer’s failure to perform thereunder (such costs and expenses, the “ Alternative Arrangement Costs ”). Prior to the amount of the deductible described in clause (B) of Section 11.02(a) being exceeded (whether pursuant to reimbursement under this sentence or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or a combination of the foregoing), Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller for all out-of pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Seller or its Affiliates (other than Alternative Arrangement Costs) relating to or arising from the failure to obtain a consent, approval or waiver for any Non-assignable Assets (such costs and expenses, the “ Other Consent Costs ”) and any such reimbursement shall be applied toward such deductible. After the amount of such deductible has been exceeded, Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller for 50% of Other Consent Costs. Seller will promptly pay to Buyer (or, subject to Section 13.05, its designated Affiliate(s)) when received all monies received by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller under any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, except to the extent the same represents an Excluded Asset.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything in the foregoing Section 2.05(a)), with respect to the Transferred Software set forth on Schedule 1.01(a)(v), (i) if requested by Buyer in writing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek the Consent of any third party required to transfer such Transferred Software to Buyer; provided that in no event shall Seller be required to (w) expend money, (x) commence any litigation, (y) offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in order to obtain such Consent or (z) diminish any rights of the Seller or its Affiliates in the Transferred Software (other than a reduction in the number of seat or user licenses); and (ii) if Seller is unable to obtain any Consent in accordance with clause (i) required to transfer any Transferred Software, Seller shall have no further obligation to Buyer under the Agreement or otherwise with respect to the transfer of such Transferred Software, except as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement. In the event the Transferred Software is transferred to Buyer, Buyer shall be responsible for any obligations with respect to such Transferred Software after the date of such transfer.

     Section 2.06 . Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “ Purchase Price ”) is equal to $675,000,000 in cash. The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 2.07 and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.08. Seller shall be treated as receiving a portion of the Purchase Price as agent for any of its Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets, consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to the Allocation Statement, and Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price to Seller shall constitute payment by Buyer to any of Seller’s Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets hereunder.

     (b) Within 60 days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “ Allocation Statement ”) allocating the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities and transaction costs, to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If, within five Business Days after delivery of the Allocation Statement, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within 20 days, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain KPMG LLP (the “ Accounting Referee ”) to resolve the disputed items in the manner described in Section 8.10.

     (c) Each of Buyer and Seller shall (i) be bound by the Allocation Statement, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.06(e), (ii) act in accordance with, and cause its Affiliates to act in accordance with, the Allocation Statement in the preparation, filing and audit of any Tax Return (including filing IRS Form 8594 with its federal Income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing) and (iii) take no position, and cause its Affiliates to take no position, inconsistent with the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement on any Tax Return, in any Contest or otherwise, unless required by a Final Determination.

     (d) In the event that the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement is disputed by any Taxing Authority, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to defend such allocation in any Tax audit or similar proceeding.

     (e) If an adjustment is made with respect to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08, the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and as mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller. In the event that an agreement is not reached within 20 days after the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital, any disputed items shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 8.10. Buyer and Seller shall file any additional information return required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and to treat the Allocation Statement as adjusted in the manner described in Section 2.06(c).

     (f) Not later than 30 days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its Form 8594.

     Section 2.07 . Closing. The closing (the “ Closing ”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder shall take place at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, as soon as possible, but in no event later than three Business Days, after satisfaction (or to the extent permitted, the

waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article 10 (other than those conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at the Closing and will in fact be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other time or place as Buyer and Seller may agree; provided , however , that the Closing may be delayed by Seller (x) for up to one month if the Tax Opinion has not been finalized by such date, to permit the Tax Opinion to be finalized or (y) the end of Seller’s applicable fiscal month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to exercise its right to delay the Closing under either (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding sentence if Seller would otherwise be obligated to complete the Closing between June 26, 2009 and July 3, 2009 (inclusive). If Seller exercises its right to delay the Closing as set forth in the second immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall deliver 5 Business Days’ notice to Buyer of Seller’s intent to close. The Closing shall be deemed to be effective for accounting and other computational purposes, and the parties will treat the Closing as if it had occurred, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. All proceedings to be taken, and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing, shall be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed to have been taken and no documents shall be deemed to have been executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered. At the Closing:

Closing Working Capital and Closing Cash will be determined in a manner consistent with the policies, principles, practices and methodologies set forth on Exhibit D (the “ Agreed Principles ”). The calculation of the target closing working capital is set forth in Exhibit E . Buyer shall give Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the premises, books and records, and appropriate personnel of the Business as necessary for purposes of the preparation of the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.08(a) (and during the periods contemplated by Section 2.08(b)). Buyer shall instruct its employees (including the Transferred Employees) and Representatives to cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Seller and its Representatives, and, upon execution of a customary access letter if required by Buyer’s outside accountants, Seller and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by Buyer or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent such materials have been prepared by Buyer and its Representatives and relate to the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash and are reasonably required by Seller or its Representatives in the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash. At the Business’s facilities in Lynchburg, Virginia, Cork, Ireland, and additional locations which would reasonably be deemed necessary to achieve at

least 75% coverage of total inventory of the Business, whether raw materials, work-in-process or finished product (the “ Inventory ”), Seller will determine the quantities of Inventory located at such facilities as of the Closing Date for purposes of the Closing Working Capital calculation by taking a physical count or measurement of the Inventory located at such facilities commencing as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date. During such physical count or measurement, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that incoming shipments of materials from suppliers and shipments to customers do not affect such physical counts or measurements. Seller will conduct such physical counts or measurements of the Inventory using Business Employees and/or contractors. For finished product Inventory in transit to customers on the Closing Date, the physical count or measurement will exclude the invoiced quantities in transit to customers as supported by shipping records. Buyer will have the right to have its Representatives observe and check such physical inventory count or measurement.

     (b) Buyer and its Representatives may make reasonable inquiries of Seller and/or its Representatives regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of Buyer’s review. Seller shall give Buyer reasonable access to the premises, books and records, and its Representatives for purposes of reviewing the Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.08(b). Seller shall instruct its employees and Representatives and cause its Affiliates to instruct their respective employees and Representatives to cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Buyer and its Representatives, and, upon execution of a customary access letter if required by Seller’s outside accountants, Buyer and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by Seller or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent such materials relate to the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash and are reasonably required by Buyer or its Representatives in the calculation of Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash. Buyer shall complete its review of the Closing Statement within forty-five (45) days after the delivery thereof to Buyer. Promptly following completion of its review (but in no event later than the conclusion of the forty-five (45) day period), Buyer may submit to Seller a letter regarding its concurrence or disagreement with the accuracy of the Closing Statement; provided that any such letter must specify (i) the items of the Closing Statement with which Buyer disagrees, (ii) the adjustments that Buyer proposes to be made to the Closing Statement and (iii) the specific amount of such disagreement and reasonable supporting documentation and calculations and provided , further , that Buyer may only disagree with the Closing Statement if Buyer’s proposed calculation will result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If Buyer does not deliver a letter disagreeing with the accuracy of the Closing Statement before the conclusion of such forty-five (45) day period, the Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement. If Buyer does deliver such a letter, following such delivery,

Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve promptly any disagreement as to the computation of any item in the Closing Statement. Any items to which there is no disagreement shall be deemed agreed. If a resolution of such disagreement has not been effected within fifteen (15) days (or longer, as mutually agreed by the parties) after delivery of such letter, notwithstanding the parties’ good faith efforts to resolve the disagreement, then Seller and Buyer shall jointly engage the Accounting Referee to resolve on a basis consistent with the Agreed Principles such disagreement regarding the Closing Statement (a “ Disputed Item ”). Each party shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and the Accounting Referee all information, records, data and working papers as may be reasonably requested by the Accounting Referee in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disagreements relating thereto and shall cause the Accounting Referee to render its determination with respect to any Disputed Item within thirty (30) days of submission of such Disputed Item to the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall adopt a position within the range of positions submitted by Seller and Buyer with respect to any Disputed Item. The Accounting Referee’s determination regarding any Disputed Item shall be based solely on whether Seller included such Disputed Item in or excluded such Disputed Item from the Closing Statement or calculated such Disputed Item, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with the Agreed Principles. All determinations made by the Accounting Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, and neither of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall seek recourse in the courts or other tribunals, other than to enforce the Accounting Referee’s determination. Subject to Section 13.07, judgment may be entered to enforce such determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance herewith shall be referred to as the “ Final Closing Working Capital .” The Closing Cash as finally determined in accordance herewith shall be referred to as the “ Closing Cash Amount .” The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be shared as follows:

     (i) if the Accounting Referee resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Buyer’s position (the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “ Low Value ”), then Seller shall be obligated to pay for all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee;

     (ii) if the Accounting Referee resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Seller’s position (the Final Closing Working Capital and/or Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “ High Value ”), then Buyer shall be obligated to pay for all of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee; and

     (iii) if the Accounting Referee neither resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Buyer’s position nor resolves all of the Disputed Items in favor of Seller’s position (the Final Closing Working

Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, so determined is referred to herein as the “ Actual Value ”), Seller shall be responsible for such fraction of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee for the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, equal to (x) the difference between the High Value and the Actual Value over (y) the difference between the High Value and the Low Value, for the Final Closing Working Capital and/or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee.

     (c) If the Final Closing Working Capital:

     (i) is equal to or greater than an amount three percent (3%) below the target closing working capital set forth on Exhibit E (the “ Lower Working Capital Limit ”) and is equal to or less than an amount three percent (3%) above the target closing working capital set forth on Exhibit E (the “ Upper Working Capital Limit ”), then no adjustments will be made to the Purchase Price in respect of the Final Closing Working Capital;

     (ii) exceeds the Upper Working Capital Limit, then Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller the amount by which the Final Closing Working Capital exceeds the Upper Working Capital Limit; or

     (iii) is less than the Lower Working Capital Limit, then Seller shall be obligated to repay to Buyer the amount by which the Lower Working Capital Limit exceeds the Final Closing Working Capital.

     (d) Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller the Closing Cash Amount, if any.

     (e) Any payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.08(c) and 2.08(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital and the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, if either of the Final Closing Working Capital or the Closing Cash Amount, as the case may be, is determined before the other, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay the other party any amount owed pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or 2.08(d) in respect of such determination within five (5) Business Days after such determination (notwithstanding that the other has not yet been determined). Any payment made pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or 2.08(d) shall be made with interest (such interest to be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed) on such amount from (i) the date of the delivery of a letter of disagreement, if there is a disagreement or (ii) 35 days from the Closing if there is no such letter of

disagreement (or if the Closing Statement has not yet been delivered by Seller), to the date of such payment at a rate equal to six percent (6%) per annum.

     Section 2.09. GST and QST Elections . At the Closing, Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) shall jointly execute an election under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an election under section 75 of an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec) in the prescribed form, such that no GST or QST shall be payable in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer shall file the joint elections with the returns required to be filed by Buyer under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec) for the Buyer’s reporting periods in which the sale was made, in compliance with the requirements of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and an Act respecting the Quebec sales tax (Quebec).

     Section 2.10. Irish Purchased Assets. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not convey title to any of the Irish Purchased Assets. Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, in relation to the Irish Purchased Assets, appropriate documentation is entered into on the Closing Date to convey title to the Irish Purchased Assets so as to mitigate Irish Stamp Duty.
