2.23 Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable as reflected on the Company Balance Sheet arose in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, represented bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, and, other than as set forth in Schedule 2.23 of the Company Disclosure Letter, have been collected or are collectible in the book amounts thereof, less an amount not in excess of the allowance for doubtful accounts provided for in the Company Balance Sheet. Allowances for doubtful accounts have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practices. The accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising after the Balance Sheet Date and before the Closing Date arose or shall arise in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, represented or shall represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, and have been collected or are collectible in the book amounts thereof, less allowances for doubtful accounts determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ past practices. None of the accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries is subject to any claim of offset, recoupment, setoff or counter-claim, and the Company has no knowledge of any specific facts or circumstances (whether asserted or unasserted) that could give rise to any such claim. No material amount of accounts receivable is contingent upon the performance by the Company or any Subsidiary of any obligation or Contract other than normal warranty repair and replacement. Except for Permitted Encumbrances or as disclosed in Schedule 2.23 of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Person has any lien on any of such accounts receivable, and no agreement for deduction or discount has been made with respect to any of such accounts receivable.

The values at which inventories are carried reflect the inventory valuation policy of the Company, which is consistent with its past practices and in accordance with GAAP. Since the Company Balance Sheet Date, reasonable provision has been made on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices to provide for all slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any commitments to purchase inventory, except in the ordinary course of business.

At the Closing, each Assumed Option or Assumed RSU held by a Continuing Employee that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Closing, whether vested or unvested, shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Acquiror. Each such Assumed Award so assumed by Acquiror under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except that (i) such option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of Common Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such option immediately prior to the Closing and the Option Exchange Ratio, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing the exercise price per Common Share at which such option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Option Exchange Ratio, (iii) no Assumed Option may be “early exercised” (i.e., an Assumed Option may be exercised for shares of Acquiror Common Stock only to the extent the Assumed Option is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule) and (iv) such RSUs shall be settled by reference to the number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of Common Shares that were issuable upon settlement of such RSU immediately prior to the Closing and the Option Exchange Ratio. It is the intent of the parties that to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all Assumed Options that prior to the Closing were treated as incentive or non-qualified share options under the Code shall from and after the Closing continue to be treated as incentive or non-qualified stock options, respectively, under the Code. Consistent with the terms of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the documents governing the outstanding options under such plan as in effect on the Agreement Date, the Share Purchase shall not terminate any of the outstanding Assumed Awards held by Continuing Employees under such plan or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such Assumed Awards. Promptly after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall issue to each Person who immediately prior to the Closing was a holder of an outstanding Assumed Award a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such award by Acquiror.

The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror in the preparation of such registration statement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (y) such portion of the General Escrow Fund at the conclusion of the General Escrow Period as in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for General Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.5(a) prior to expiration of the General Escrow Period (the “General Unresolved Claims”) shall remain in the General Escrow Fund until such claims for General Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied and (z) such portion of the Separate Escrow Fund at the conclusion of the applicable statute of limitations as in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Separate Indemnifiable Damages (the “Separate Unresolved Claims”) shall remain in the Separate Escrow Fund until such claims for Separate Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied. The availability of the Escrow Fund to indemnify the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification which any Closing Company Shareholder may have in his or her capacity as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company and no such Closing Company Shareholder will be entitled to any indemnification from the Company as wholly-owned by the Acquiror for amounts required to be paid for indemnification by such Closing Company Shareholder under this Article IX. The General Escrow Fund, less the amount of any claims made or paid for General Indemnifiable Damages during the General Escrow Period pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX and less the amount of any General Unresolved Claims, shall be paid to the Closing Company Shareholders within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the General Escrow Period in accordance with such Closing Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share. The Separate Escrow Fund, less the amount of any claims made or paid for Separate Indemnifiable Damages during the Separate Escrow Period pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX and less the amount of any Separate Unresolved Claims, shall be paid to the Closing Company Shareholders within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Separate Escrow Period in accordance with such Closing Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share.

9.5 Claims.

(a) On or before the last day of the General Escrow Period or the Separate Escrow Period, as applicable, Acquiror or Sub may deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate signed by any officer of Acquiror (an “Officer’s Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred or paid Indemnifiable Damages, or reasonably anticipates that it may incur or pay Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax Authority has raised or is reasonably anticipated to raise such matter in an audit of Company or its Subsidiaries, which would be reasonably likely to cause Indemnifiable Damages);

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of General Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred or paid, may be the maximum amount reasonably anticipated by Acquiror to be incurred, paid or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquiror) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

No delay in providing such Officer’s Certificate within the Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Shareholders’ Agent or the Closing Company Shareholders are materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) For purposes of Section 9.5 (a) of this Agreement, in order for an Indemnified Person to [***] that it may incur or pay [***] (or, with respect to Taxes, [***] that a matter would be raised by [***] and, or that a matter raised [***] would be likely to cause Indemnifiable Damages), such Indemnified Person’s conclusions must be made in good faith [***] (i) a claim asserted by or against an [***], (ii) a written notice (including email) of a [***], or (iii) facts and circumstances as would be [***].

(c) If Acquiror reasonably anticipates that it may incur or pay General Indemnifiable Damages under Section 9.5 (a) in accordance with the applicable standard set forth herein, but the amount of such damages reasonably anticipated by Acquiror to be incurred are, upon review of the circumstances [***] following the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate, materially less than as provided in the Officer’s Certificate, Acquiror shall promptly amend such Officer’s Certificate to reflect the revised determination and deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Shareholder’s Agent and the amounts set forth in the first (or previous) Officer’s Certificate relating to such matter shall be so amended. Acquiror agrees to undertake such [***] review and such other steps as are required herein with respect to each Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Acquiror or Sub to the Escrow Agent.

(d) For purposes of Section 9.4 of this Agreement, the Acquiror’s conclusions as to the portion of the Escrow Fund that should remain in escrow after the General Escrow Period or the Separate Escrow Period, as applicable, must be made in good faith [***], provided, however, that the amount remaining in escrow shall in no event be larger than [***]. In the event of a dispute under ARTICLE IX of this Agreement concerning the portion of the General Escrow Fund that should remain in escrow after the General Escrow Period, [***] that it [***] that it may incur or pay General Indemnifiable Damages [***] and that the amount remaining in escrow is [***].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, [***] may continue to be [***] more than [***] after the [***].

(e) The basis for asserting a claim under Section 9.5 (a) and determining the amount to remain in escrow under Section 9.4 (including all relevant facts relating to such matters) shall be provided to the Shareholders’ Agent concurrently with any applicable Officer’s Certificate. In the event that a portion of the General Escrow Fund remains in escrow at the conclusion of the General Escrow Period for unresolved or unsatisfied claims for General Indemnifiable Damages not yet paid in accordance with the terms hereof, Acquiror shall review such matters relating to such claims for General Indemnifiable Damages every ninety (90) days and deliver to the Shareholders’ Agent, within three (3) Business Days of such review, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such amounts in escrow continue to be necessary to satisfy such unresolved or unsatisfied claims in accordance with the applicable standard set forth herein or cause the Escrow Agent to release to the Shareholders’ Agent such portion of the remaining General Escrow Fund that is not necessary (or no longer necessary) in the reasonable determination of such Person in accordance with the applicable standard set forth herein to satisfy such unresolved or unsatisfied claim.

(f) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent by or on behalf of Acquiror (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) and for a period of [***] after such delivery to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Agent in accordance with the terms hereof of such Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall make no payment pursuant to this Section 9.5 unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such [***] period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of cash from the Escrow Fund to Acquiror in accordance with this Section 9.5 and the General Escrow Agreement or the Separate Escrow Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that no such delivery may be made if and to the extent the Shareholders’ Agent has objected in a written statement to any claim or claims made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such written statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such [***] period.

If Acquiror and the Shareholders’ Agent shall so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and delivered to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum and the Escrow Agent shall distribute cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(b) If no such agreement can be reached during the [***] period for good faith negotiation, but in any event upon the expiration of such [***] period, either Acquiror or the Shareholders’ Agent may bring suit in the courts of the Province of Ontario and the Federal courts of the Canada, in each case, located within the City of Toronto in the Province of Ontario to resolve the matter.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shareholders’ Agent” shall mean the agent for and on behalf of the Closing Company Shareholders to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Acquiror (on behalf of itself of any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such shareholders individually); (ii) enter into this Agreement, the General Escrow Agreement and the Separate Escrow Agreement and authorize deliveries to the Indemnified Persons of cash from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquiror (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims); (iii) object to such claims pursuant to Section 9.6, (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such claims; (v) provide any consents hereunder, including with respect to any proposed settlement of any claims or agree to any amendment to this Agreement, and (vi) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. The Person serving as the Shareholders’ Agent may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the cash then on deposit in the Escrow Fund upon not less than ten days’ prior written notice to Acquiror and the Person serving as the Shareholders’ Agent; provided, however, that any person serving as the Shareholders’ Agent shall not be an employee of Acquiror or any subsidiary thereof. The Shareholders’ Agent shall have the right to resign upon giving ten days’ prior written notice to Acquiror, and a new Person shall be appointed by the holders of a majority in interest of the cash then on deposit in the Escrow Fund, subject to the limitation hereinabove, such appointment to be effective the later of (A) immediately upon resignation of the prior Shareholders’ Agent or (B) the date the Shareholders’ Agent is appointed by the holders of a majority in interest of the cash then on deposit in the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Agent, and the Shareholders’ Agent shall receive no compensation for his services.

(b) The Shareholders’ Agent shall not be liable to any former holder of Company Shares for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Shareholders’ Agent while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Closing Company Shareholders shall severally indemnify the Shareholders’ Agent and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Shareholders’ Agent. If not paid directly to the Shareholders’ Agent by the Closing Company Shareholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Shareholders’ Agent from the applicable Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Closing Company Shareholders (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Separate Escrow Agreement and the General Escrow Agreement, as applicable, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Closing Company Shareholders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Shareholders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Shareholders’ Agent’s authority under Section 9.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Closing Company Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Closing Company Shareholder; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Closing Company Shareholder.

(d) Third-Party Claims. If the Acquiror is subject to Indemnifiable Damages or has otherwise properly delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Shareholders’ Agent in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof with respect to a third party claim, Acquiror shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Acquiror in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable legal fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquiror may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder); provided, however, that Acquiror shall not settle or resolve such claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Shareholders’ Agent shall receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the third-party claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person and shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the third-party claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the third-party claim. However, except with the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholders’ Agent shall have objected within [***] after a written request for such consent by Acquiror, no settlement or resolution by Acquiror of any claim that gives rise to a claim against such applicable Escrow Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the Shareholders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement or resolution, or if the Shareholders’ Agent shall have been determined by a final non-appealable court order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent to any such settlement or resolution, neither the Shareholders’ Agent nor any Closing Company Shareholder shall have any power or authority to object under Section 9.6 or any other provision of this Article IX to recovery by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the applicable Escrow Fund for the Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such settlement or resolution provided such recovery is otherwise in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Article IX.

9.8 Indemnity Payments [***]. The amount of any Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under this Article IX shall be calculated [***] on account of such Indemnifiable Damages. The Indemnified Person shall [***] any Indemnifiable Damages to [***] such Indemnifiable Damages were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is [***], or pursuant to [***], the amount of [***], shall promptly be [***]. All [***] made under this Agreement shall be [***], unless otherwise required by Legal Requirement.
