78

(iv) the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such item is related; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide a Notice of Claim within the 30 day period described above shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after delivery of the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the nature and basis of its objection, if any, to the asserted claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnifying Party to provide its objection within the 30 day period described above shall not be a concession of liability hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall prejudice the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, within the period of 30 days set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, deliver to the Indemnified Party that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, along with reasonable supporting information as to the nature and basis of the objection (an “ Objection Notice ”).If no such Objection Notice is received by the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of the Notice of Claim, the claim shall be deemed to be allowed.

The respective obligations and liabilities of the Parties to indemnify pursuant to this Article XII in respect of any Damages arising from a claim by a third party shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.4(c) to the contrary, (A) if there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment, unless (1) the settlement or compromise does not entail any admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party and (2) the claiming party or the plaintiff in such claim gives to the Indemnified Party an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim and (C) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any claim, the Indemnified Party by counsel or other Representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense shall have the right to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel or other Representatives concerning such claim and participate in the defense thereof, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel or other Representatives shall cooperate with respect to such claim, subject to the execution and delivery of a mutually satisfactory joint defense agreement.

Subject to Section 13.1(b) , Seller shall timely pay to Purchaser all Pre-Closing Taxes shown on any Tax Return filed pursuant to this Section 13.3(a) , except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

(b) In the case of other Tax Returns of the Group Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxable Periods that are required to be filed with any Governmental Entity after the Closing Date and Tax Returns that are filed with respect to Straddle Periods, Purchaser shall, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practice, and timely file such Tax Returns with the applicable Governmental Entity, provided, that Purchaser shall deliver any such Tax Return to the Seller for its review at least 20 Business Days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed (including extensions) and Purchaser shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Seller. Subject to Section 13.1(b) , Seller shall timely pay to Purchaser all Pre-Closing Taxes shown on any Tax Return filed pursuant to this Section 13.3(b) , except to the extent such Taxes are taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

13.4 Straddle Periods . For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Group Companies that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes shall: (a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or related to income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), or (iii) required to be withheld, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (a) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Group Companies or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with past practice of the Group Companies.

83

13.5 Refunds . If a Group Company receives a refund, credit or other reduction of Taxes attributable to any taxable period (or portion of a taxable period) ending on or before the Closing Date (except to the extent such reduction results from the carryback of any Tax loss from any Post-Closing Tax Period (as defined below)), the Purchaser shall promptly pay, or cause to be promptly paid, such amount to the Seller including interest, if such reimbursement is made with interest, in each case net of Purchaser’s reasonable third-party expenses and any Taxes imposed on Purchaser as a result of its receipt of such refund. In addition, the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller an amount equal to any refund of Taxes (i) that would have been payable to the Seller pursuant to this Section 13.5 , except that such refund was used to pay any Tax liability for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date (“ Post-Closing Tax Period ”) or (ii) would have been payable to the Seller pursuant to this Section 13.5 if it were possible to file Tax Returns for each Straddle Period as if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date.

13.6 Amended Tax Returns . On or after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not (and shall not cause any of its Affiliates, including for the avoidance of doubt, the Group Companies to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Returns of the Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Taxable Periods or Straddle Periods (a “ Pre-Closing Tax Return Amendment ”), without the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

13.7 Transfer Taxes .

(b) Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, the assets of the U.S. corporation with respect to which the Section 338(h)(10) election is being made and the assets of the Canadian Business, shall be appraised by a regionally or nationally recognized appraisal firm engaged by Purchaser. Such appraisal shall be based on the fair market value of such assets, determined in accordance with GAAP and Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-6. Such appraisal firm shall also allocate the adjusted grossed-up basis for such corporation (to the extent properly taken into account for U.S. income Tax purposes) among the assets of such corporation and shall allocate the Purchase Price for the assets of the Canadian Business (including assumed liabilities)

84

among such assets, in each case consistent with such appraisal. Purchaser shall provide such allocation to Seller and, for a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt thereof, Seller shall have the opportunity to review and comment on such allocation. Purchaser shall consider in good faith any such comments provided by Seller, and Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes with respect to such allocation; provided , however , that if Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the such allocation within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such allocation to Seller, Seller and Purchaser shall identify in writing the items in dispute and shall immediately engage the Independent Auditor to resolve such disputed items, which resolution shall be set forth in a written report delivered to the parties and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable in a court of law. Such allocation as finally agreed upon by the parties or determined by the Independent Auditor shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller and Purchaser for all purposes, and the Parties agree that all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) and financial statements shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the Parties shall not otherwise take a position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with) such allocation, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Purchaser (or the Affiliate of Purchaser acquiring the Canadian Business) and Seller shall jointly elect under subsection 167(1) of the HST Act and section 75 of the QST Act so that no HST or QST will be payable in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to a Party at law or equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit such Parties from recovery of monetary damages against the other Party and/or from terminating this Agreement.

14.3 Release . As of the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and each Group Company and the Canadian Business, on the other hand (each of Seller and the Group Companies, a “ Releasing Person ”), hereby releases and forever discharges the other Releasing Persons and their past, present and future direct or indirect equityholders, successors and assigns and all of their respective Affiliates and Representatives (in each case, solely in their capacities as such) (each, a “ Released Person ”) from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits, covenants, torts,

87

damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at Law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, which have been or could have been asserted against any Released Person, which any Releasing Person has or ever had, which arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date; provided , that the Releasing Persons acknowledge and agree that this Section 14.3 does not apply to and shall not constitute a release of any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

88

construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.
